Ch.15 First Dive With Tsubaki°

"Boom!!!"

With a crisp bang of the door, a scene like an anime happened.

The door made of wood flipped over in an instant, even reaching 180 degrees. In Estelle's sight, he even saw that the connection had been slightly broken.

This sudden, loud noise wakes him.

Taking a closer look, the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.

 it turned out that it was the head of the family, Tsubaki, who came, but this way of greeting... is really not flattering.

"Head, my door was broken by you; how can you let me rest tonight?"

"It doesn't matter. It's just a door. You can come back and fix it later." Faced with Estelle's almost helpless 'questioning', Tsubaki didn't have the slightest sense of guilt for doing this and walked in carelessly. Entering the house, she said, "Now is not the time to deal with these things; hurry up and follow me!"

As he said that, Tsubaki's right hand instantly grabbed Estelle; she looked very anxious.

But this catch was in vain!

Almost subconsciously, Estelle took a step back reflexively, dodging Tsubaki's attack immediately, which undoubtedly attracted the latter's attention.

"I haven't seen you for a while; why do I feel that you seem to be a different person? Even I can't see through it."

Tsubaki looked up and down at Estelle, who was close at hand, and was surprised to find that she could only detect Estelle's breath faintly, which was very faint, and if she didn't feel it carefully, she would not be able to detect it at all.

You know, she is a real Lv. 5, and she is already in the strongest group of adventurers in Orario.

It's too weird for a newcomer who just joined the family to be able to make herself feel this way. Could it be that the other party has some special skills?

Tsubaki, who doesn't know the specific situation, can only attribute the reason to this.

Estelle was still very calm on the surface, but he expected this in his heart. But what he didn't expect was that his team leader was not only good at blacksmithing but also had excellent talents as an adventurer since he could discover this very quickly.

You know that when he is sleeping, his body will adjust his breathing to the minimum; because of training, this has become his instinct.

Lowering your presence can sometimes protect you.

Of course, he also knows that sooner or later it will be discovered, so the moment he wakes up, he doesn't change his breathing.

Even if some changes are seen, there is nothing to worry about his secret being discovered.

This is his trust in his family.

"That's right, that's one of my skills. Do you want to learn this?"

"A skill that can be learned by others? Are you sure you want to give this skill to me? But let's put it on hold for now."

Estelle nodded and asked curiously, "What's the matter with you coming to me in such a hurry, leader?"

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. I'm here to teach you what newcomers need to know to conquer the dungeon, and then I will take you into the dungeon. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but not everyone can let me guide them personally. Be lucky!"

Tsubaki patted Estelle's shoulder, making the expression that you made a lot of money.

"Head, are you going out in person?"

This time it was Estelle's turn to be a little surprised; he really didn't expect that he would be treated like this.

"What, don't you have any dissatisfaction with me?" Tsubaki's face showed a faint smile, but when it fell into Estelle's eyes, he felt unease.

He shook his head and responded, "Of course not. It is my honor to be led by the head of the group. It's just that I heard you say that the family members were short of manpower. I thought there would be no seniors to teach me!"

"It was indeed like this at first, but who made you suit my appetite? In fact, I also went into the dungeon to try out new weapons, and I just taught you along the way, so don't feel too nervous."

Estelle scratched his head lightly, thinking about it carefully. 

However, it is obviously a good thing to have experienced adventurers who can guide themselves. They can avoid a lot of trouble, and naturally, there is no reason to refuse.

"Don't think about it; it's still early. Let's set off now and try to get back before dark. We will be entering the dungeon, and I will tell you what you need to know when you are in the dungeon."

"Okay, but don't I need to bring anything?"

Naturally, Estelle did not refuse, and she half-closed the door of the room that was about to break down and followed Tsubaki towards the outside of the blacksmith's shop.

"Don't be so troublesome. I've selected the basic armor for you. As for the weapon, I selected the bow and arrow for you."

"It's alright; thank you, leader." Estelle expressed his gratitude.

He was a little surprised by Tsubaki's enthusiastic behavior, and not many newcomers could experience the personal teaching of the head of the family. Although he didn't know Tsubaki's thoughts, he was still very grateful.

"Don't be too polite. Since you have joined our familia, we will be family members in the future. For yourself and Lord Hephaestus, work hard. She is very optimistic about you!"

In the blacksmith shop, there is still a girl named Liz guarding the shop.

After seeing Estelle and Tsubaki come out, she quickly walked out from the counter and carried a set of white armor in front of them, gently placing it on the table beside her.

"Head, this is the initial equipment you asked me to choose, and it's all here."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Liz!"

Tsubaki responded with a smile, but the corner of Estelle's mouth began to twitch slightly.

He said he chose it himself, but it turned out that someone else chose him. He really believes Tsubaki's one-sided words so easily.

"What's there to be dazed about? Put on all the equipment quickly!"

"Understood," Estelle rolled his eyes, stepped forward to pick up the armor, thanked Liz by the way, and began to put it on on the spot.

This seems to be a set of light armor that also protects the upper body, knees, and shoulders, but the arms and legs are still exposed.

Not to mention, it really fits well, and even the sword is very handy.

Liz is the one who chose, and she didn't know what his main weapon was.

Fortunately, his mastery of sword is comparable to his bow, so it will not just be a decoration.

Estelle, who put on all the equipment, have changed greatly instantly.

That capable appearance, coupled with his handsome face, left both Liz and Tsubaki stunned.

...

On the way, Tsubaki also began to perform her duties as a mentor.

"Your advisor should have given you the basic information, right? There are topographic maps of the first five floors on it. Since it is the upper floor, the terrain is not particularly complicated. You should memorize it first."

"I've already memorized it when I had nothing to do before." Estelle nodded as he said this word.

When he has nothing to do, he browses information about the dungeon to broaden his knowledge. The first and second floors are okay; it seems that there are only a few straight roads, but when you reach the next few floors, you suddenly start to twist and turn, and there are still many dead ends. If you can't remember the terrain, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to get back to the ground.

People with a bad sense of direction may not be able to get out of it.

In addition, the scrolls also record in detail the types of monsters and combat modes that will appear on each floor. After dealing with monsters for a long time, this information is not particularly precious.

Judging the specific attack method by the appearance of the monster, so as to avoid and counterattack, is also one of the basic skills that adventurers need to learn.

I have to say that becoming a qualified adventurer is far from as simple as it seems on the surface.

They arrive near the tower, and the two follow the bustling flow of people and soon enter the dungeon along the entrance of the Tower of Babel.
