Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

"Are you alright, Ester?"

"Yes. Lana-sama has already healed me of the damage I received. However, it was my negligence."

"Don't sweat over it, things do happen sometimes. That's another reason why defence is built up. I believe you would have been fine even if you receive that attack directly."

"You're right. I ought to thank Lana-sama and Rika-sama."

I followed after Ester who headed towards Lana and Rika to express her gratitude for those who were just coming here.

Her safety is all that matters.

There were often cases where attribute attacks triggered abnormal status in the ‹Dungeon Activity›. Fire attribute triggered ‹Burn›, Ice attribute triggered ‹Freeze› and lightning attribute triggered ‹Paralysis›.

Down on the attribute list, there was a slight chance of light attribute, dark attribute and sacred attribute triggering ‹Blindness›, ‹Fear› and ‹Confusion› respectively.

This time, Ester happened to have bad luck to trigger ‹Paralysis›.

However her bad luck was offset by Rika's godly follow-up.

"Lana-sama, Rika-sama. Thank you very much."

"You don't have to mind about such things, Ester. I just did the obvious!"

"Indeed. What matters is that you were saved in time."

"Rika's follow-up was seriously godly. Man, that was so super cool of you to go with unique skill and shoot the boss dead!"

"O, ohh? It's kind of embarrassing when you say that."

"Halt Zephyr, praise me too! You ought to praise this princess more!"

"I got it. Lana also helped with her ‹Wish Refresh›."

"What's with that super lacklustre response!"

Err, well I really can't up with something else with t different in their achievement.

"Hn, ‹Silver Chest› are here everyone. Two."

"Seriously two!? Hurray!"

I turned around to look so fast that it caused whoosh sound when I heard Karua's words and saw two ‹Silver Chest› glowing in silver tiny enshrined at the spot where Electro-Charge Fox had disappeared into effect.

I dashed immediately, wasting no time!

"Stop there, Zephyr! It should have been mine right to select first!"

Lana said something but I don't remember ever making such a promise.

Two silver chests means it was the blessing of Sachineko-sama! And the blessing of Sachineko-sama means there has to be something good absolutely in them and hence I dashed immediately to pick them.

Fuhaha! Lana was also chasing behind me but too slow. It's impossible for her to win against me in AGI!

"‹Silver Chest› obtained!"

"You haven't."

"W, what!?"

Someone intercepted me in front of the silver chest right before I was about to secure (?) one silver chest I had decided on.

It was Karua, someone who was ranked first in AGI in ‹Eden›.

Clap

She put her hand on the silver chest just as my hand was about to touch it.

"Nfu. I wasn't wrong if Zephyr also chose it. I have a premonition of a jackpot."

So snorted Karua in front of the treasure chest.

I forgot Karua also have ‹Intuition› like me! It seemed like she also was curious about this treasure chest just like me.

Seriously, I can't believe I was overtaken!

"Kuh, fine, there's anothe一一"

"Too bad for you Zephyr! I'm receiving this!"

"I, impossible......"

I saw Lana who was chasing after me reaching out to second ‹Silver Chest›.

Both of them were overtaken. The two ‹Silver Chest› that slipped out of my hand.

Situation was clear to anyone.

Crestfallen, my knees gave in.

"Oh My God!"

Such words spontaneously spilled out of my mouth. This shouldn't be happening. There's no way I, I.......

My ‹Silver Chest› slipped out of my hand, it turned translucent and disappeared.

"Ester, can you explain what those three are doing?"

"They're playing as usual. Lana-sama looks happy and excited."

"I, I see. ......I wonder if I should also participate in their game?"

"Let's see. I think Rika-sama will also participate in it one day."

"You think so? If, if you say so. There's the saying "do as the Romans do", but I don't think I will be able to hype myself to this level......"

"No, you will soon be accustomed to it. Even Sierra-sama has the moments where she coolly cuts in between."

"That Sierra you say!? Really, people can't judge by their appearance..."

Ester seemed to have something as Rika was looking here looking extremely surprised with her eyes blinking rapidly, but I didn't have the leeway for that.

"Come, let's open them! Don't forget your prayer to Sachineko-sama, Karua!"

"一Ya. Please give me sometime good, Sachineko-sama."

"Please give me something good! Please Sachineko-sama!"

Karua and Lana prayed to Sachineko-sama, I also followed them and prayed mentally.

I give up this time. But I'm not going to give up next time at any cost!

Then with a click, Lana opened the treasure chest.

"This is ‹Strengthening Orb›!"

"What!?"

Lana took out three ‹2nd order Skill Strengthening Orb› from the treasure chest. They were important which could upgrade items or equipment skills by two levels.

There are three of them so one skill can be raised upto LV6. Good heaven!

Just these alone felt like we struck the gold.

List of prospective items and equipments was already floating in my mind mentally. Which one should I level up...

"Hn, next, my turn."

Continuing, it was Karua's turn.

It was the treasure chest I and Karua, who have ‹Intuition›, deemed to be holding something good. I was palpitating from excitement.

"Hn. Long...... Dagger?"

"Oh! This isn't a dagger but a short sword! What's more it's a short sword with lightning attribute, ‹Hexa-Thunder Blade - Beast Lock›."

"Blade!"

Karua hopped in delight, which was unusual for her at my explanation.

――――――――――

‹Hexa-Thunder Blade • Beast Lock : ATK 52, DEF 18, Lightning Attribute›

‹Skill - Beast Killer Lv6›

――――――――――

The specs of drops from ‹Silver Chest› were weak compared to drops from ‹Gold Chest› as expected.

But a blade with lightning attribute was extremely rare.

There were very few jobs that could equip blades in the ‹Dungeon Activity› so ‹Blade› category weapons were very relatively few.

Just the fact that it has attribute makes it an extremely rare weapon.

Rika was now able to use skills that could do attribute attacks after unlocking her 3rd order skill tree but these are high cost. Not something I would want her to use on small fry monsters.

More than that, Karua was still bothered to this day by the fact that she was the only one who received attribute affixed weapons during the ‹Fat-Ball› time. I remember she once said she would lend an attribute affixed weapon to Rika if she ever got one.

This might be the most desired thing for Karua.

"Hn, Rika, here. I hope you use it."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm. It's curved so Pamela shouldn't be able to use it."

"I see. Then it's my pleasure to accept it. Thank you, Karua."

"Hn."

Rika equipped the blade Karua gave on her left hand. I remember Rika once said her left hand weapon was a makeshift one unlike her man right hand weapon.

Rika looked quite dashing and cool with the ‹Princess Job› equipment ‹Purple Extreme Blade› on her right hand while ‹Hexa-Thunder Blade - Beast Lock› on her left hand.

"How do I look?"

"Hn, you look incredible. It suits you."

"Yeah, it looks cool on you, Rika."

"Fufu, thank you. My ascetics level has gone up with this."

Rika also looked delighted receiving a new weapon.

Maybe it was for the better that I didn't get to open the treasure chest. I thought so while looking at Rika pulling Karua into a tight hug.
