Rich Mahiro

Chapter 234 - Rich Mahiro

Over the past two days, Misha has heard more or less about Mahiro.

Not only that, but during these two days, she often took Mahiro along to tease Eina.

Misha knew that Mahiro was a rookie—a very handsome rookie, at that.

But that was all.

In this case, Misha's impression of Mahiro naturally remained limited to the term "rookie".

Even if Eina said that Mahiro was talented and active in the upper floors, even reaching twelfth floor—Misha could grit her teeth and believe it.

However, if Eina claimed that Mahiro had gone as far as the twenty-second floor and reached it again the next day, that would be outrageous.

The twenty-second floor is an area approaching the deeper floors, a zone typically accessible only to adventurers with the strength of Level 3 or higher.

For a rookie adventurer like Mahiro to claim he had reached it—and alone, no less—was unbelievable.

Who would believe such a thing, except a fool?

Well, Eina wasn't a fool, but her infatuation had caused her to lose her usual rationality, making her believe Mahiro's claims.

Misha, however, couldn't help but question him.

She didn't want her best friend's first love to be a braggart.

"There is indeed such a regulation. I haven't had the chance to explain it to you, Mahiro," Eina explained.

However, she simply clarified the guild's regulations and didn't express any doubt about Mahiro's ability to reach the twenty-second floor.

"The monsters on the upper floors no longer meet my needs, so I have to go to the lower floors to train," Mahiro explained.

"Hey, are you ignoring me?" Misha looked at Eina, who was completely absorbed in the conversation, and sighed.

"Can you explain how you managed to reach the twenty-second floor?"

"Explain?" Mahiro glanced at Misha. "I've already explained."

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I can't exactly take you on a tour of the Dungeon, can I? Even if I wanted to, you wouldn't be willing."

Misha naturally had no intention of entering the Dungeon.

She was just a civilian with no business being there.

Was she supposed to go in just to verify whether Mahiro had truly reached the twenty-second floor?

That would be absurd.

"Wait," Mahiro suddenly said. "Yesterday, I defeated the Goliath, the monster rex of the seventeenth floor."

"If you don't believe me, you can check the records."

"Monster Rex Goliath?" Misha frowned. "I remember its subjugation quest was picked up by someone from the Loki Familia yesterday."

"I got to it first," Mahiro said. "When I defeated Goliath, members of the Loki Familia were nearby."

"If you run into them, you can ask them yourself. They should be able to confirm it."

Misha studied Mahiro carefully, then turned to Eina.

"This can't be true, can it?"

"I believe Mahiro," Eina replied with a helpless smile.

At this point, Misha's skepticism began to waver.

If Mahiro's claims were false, it would be easy to disprove them.

All she had to do was check the records or ask Loki Familia directly.

However, Mahiro spoke with such confidence that it was likely true.

After all, if it were a lie, he wouldn't be so unafraid of being exposed.

With this in mind, Misha's opinion of Mahiro began to change.

A rookie had explored the twenty-second floor in just two days.

What kind of monster was he?

Misha couldn't help but admire Eina's judgment.

To fall for such adventurer at first sight—her best friend's intuition was truly sharp!

"I'm sorry, Mahiro. I was just worried that Eina might be deceived, so I doubted you," Misha said, clasping her hands together in apology.

"My best friend is too innocent, and this is the first time she's been interested in a boy, so I couldn't help but be overly concerned."

She didn't hesitate to throw her friend under the bus.

"You're always talking nonsense. If you keep this up, I won't help you during the assessments," Eina said, her cheeks still flushed from Misha's earlier remarks.

"Oh, Eina, don't be like that!" Misha immediately begged for mercy.

"Honestly, it's hard being doubted," Mahiro said seriously.

"Ah..." Misha looked flustered.

"So, I'll leave it to you from now on," Mahiro said, his gaze lingering on Eina for a moment before he winked at Misha.

"No problem, leave it to me," Misha replied instantly, understanding his meaning.

"Why are you two suddenly saying such strange things? What are you plotting?" Eina asked suspiciously.

As the saying goes, those involved are often the last to know.

Eina had no idea that, in just a short time, Misha had already sold her out again.

"I just think your friend, has a wonderful personality," Mahiro said with a smile.

"Me too," Misha chimed in. "And I feel guilty for doubting you earlier, so I'll help with any adventurer-related questions in the future."

"I'm his advisor. You don't need to interfere," Eina said, rolling her eyes. "However, in your case, Mahiro, only a Level 3 team would be suitable for you."

"But most Level 3 adventurers rarely form teams outside their Familia. They usually operate within their own groups."

"Then I'll just find a supporter," Mahiro said with a nod.

"It's hard to find a supporter," Eina replied helplessly. "Supporters are typically Level 1."

"If you want them to follow you to deeper floors, they probably won't be willing."

"That's fine. I'll just offer more money," Mahiro said simply.

"Fifty thousand valis a day should be enough to convince someone."

At this, both Eina and Misha looked at him with strange expressions.

"Huh? Is fifty thousand not enough?" Mahiro asked.

"It's not that it's not enough—it's too much!" Eina said, rubbing her temples.

"Why don't I pack up and come with you?" Misha joked shamelessly.
