238. Level counter, time required 3 minutes




Oh, Lord Lyota!

 I went towards the direction of the voice and saw that the mini-wise man had just defeated the little devil.
 The other side also noticed us and rushed over with a pat on the back.

''Look, Lyota-sama, here.''
That's ...... gold. Is that a drop from the guy you just killed?
Yes!
But why the hell did you go into the dungeon all of a sudden?
I was called in.
Did he call for you?
'Yes, what's that ...... in the woman's voice?'

 The mini-wise man who had been having a normal conversation until then widened his eyes as he remembered.

'Speaking of which, I entered the ...... dungeon and it hasn't disappeared. Why ......?''
That's my line.
There: ......

 The mini-wise man stared curiously at his hands.

'Maybe, but I'm already a unique monster.
Already?
It's a pattern of people who haven't changed in appearance, only in ability. I'm not immune to that kind of thing.
Really?
Yeah.

 I nodded clearly.

'Do you want to run a test?'
A test?
'Try going to another dungeon. In and out of dungeons, up and down the hierarchy. Test to see if it disappears.
I see.
'We're already in the dungeon anyway. We can't just stay here forever, can we?

 The suggestions I make to the mini-wise man are very casual and "let's go for a walk" temperature.
 Because I'm almost certain I'm already

     Stars.

 Telldungeon, basement level.
 Once we got back to the mansion from the ground floor of Aulum, then we flew here.

 I thought about it a lot and figured this would be the best place to test it.

 The structure of the dungeon changed every time I entered Aulum, and testing there would be too annoying.
 Nihonium fits the bill in terms of not being annoying at all, but there's no now board or drops there.

 After thinking about things, I came to the first floor of the tellurium with a mini-wise man.

'It didn't disappear: ......'

 Once again, I was surprised and speechless, a mini-wise man.
 When I was in Aurum, I was "called" to wander in, then huffed and puffed.
 This is the first time I've ever done a hierarchy/dungeon move with an extinction or not in mind, so this is a natural reaction.

''Right. Is there anything else different?
'Well, ...... seems to be less powerful ......'
Power? Let's check it out on the Now Board.
Yes, sir.

 We nodded to each other and moved to the Now board.

 A board with the ability to check status, in a dungeon with many adventurers like Tellurian, it's set up so that you can use it for free, like a public service.

 I came to it and checked the mini-sage's abilities, and then.

'Huh?'

 The mini-wise man looked at his abilities and exclaimed in surprise.

'That's low,'
This is weird, I can't believe we're back to level one.
Did it cost more?
Yes. I've been working so hard every day.
"Hmm.

 Every day the monsters in Lyota's village accept and dispose of the trash from Indor and other nearby villages and towns.
 Sometimes the trash will hatch into a garbage haggle - a Frankenstein - and that's how much experience you accumulate.

 With that in mind, even I know it's weird that I'm a level one.

'Reborn, I suppose,'
Is that so?
Yeah. All right, I'll see you in a minute.
'What? Yes, I understand: ......

 Leaving the mini-wise man who tilted his head curiously, I used the transporter gate to return to the mansion once I got there.
 From the warehouse, I brought out a large number of crystals that had accumulated because I had no use for them.
 These crystals are dropped by equipment items dropped by the dungeon master.

 It is a crystal that materializes and stores extra experience after the level has been canned.

 With a large amount of it, I used the transporter room again to return to the first floor of the tellurium.

"Huh?

 I came to the front of the Nowboard, but the mini-wise man was gone.
 I looked in the dungeon to see what was going on - and there they were.

 The mini-wise man was at the entrance to the dungeon, going in and out.
 It was as if he was doing a repetitive jump, jumping in and out, then jumping back in.

 He was repeating the process - and seemed happy to be doing so.

 An adventurer was watching the scene.

'That's a mini-wise man, isn't it? The "Monster's
'I know it looks like it, but ...... why doesn't it disappear when it's straddling the dungeon?'
Look at the collar. It's from the Lyota family.
Does that mean it's Lyota again? Holy shit, when that guy is involved, even a haggler can get in and out of a dungeon?

 Leaving the thrilled adventurers behind, I quietly (...) approached the frolicking mini-wise man.

"Here you go.
Oh, excuse me, Master Lyota, for leaving that place without permission.
No, I don't. I know how you feel. I'll take this instead.
What's this?
Experience.

 Saying that, he handed the crystal he brought to the mini-sage.
 Immediately after receiving the crystal, it quickly melted and disappeared like snow on my palm.

Wow, what is this?
Don't worry, it's not like we broke it or anything. That's just the way it is.
Oh, I see.

 The mini-wise man was relieved to see.
 I handed him the crystals I brought one after another.

 The mini-wise man looked at me like he didn't understand what I was doing, but he accepted them one by one.
 I handed them the experience crystals, which disappear as soon as they are received, until they no longer disappear.

 It took only three minutes for the crystals to disappear.

"Is that all you got?
Haha. ......
Okay, now board.

 I take the mini-wise man, who feels like he's been pinched by a fox, back to the Now Board from earlier.

'Try again,'
'Okay, ...... yeah!

Well, that's something.

 The status of a mini-sage was on average high and quite strong.

''S-awesome ......''

 The person who saw it was raptured and looked at me with respect.
