Chapter 114
The Magic Stone’s Secret
“From the looks of it, there doesn’t seem to be any mutant here.”
“That means we can’t expect to get a magic stone, huh?”
“We can still expect to get it in the Earth Dragon.”
As Frank-san and Virna-san conversed, they headed towards the defeated Earth Dragon.
Speaking of which, wasn’t it said that a strong monster’s heart turns into a magic stone?
There were a lot of defeated monsters, but none seemed to be strong. So, they most likely wouldn’t have turned into magic stones unless they were mutants.

“But didn’t Karin-san say that the monsters in the dungeons are phantoms from the spirit world, so they aren’t the real thing? That’s why their corpses are absorbed into the dungeon. Despite that, they can still leave behind a magic stone?”
After all, if the monsters are illusions, won’t the heart be an illusion as well? If that’s the case, it’d be weird for them to be able to leave behind a magic stone.
“Hmm… That’s because magic stones are made out of the condensation of magic essence. Although they might be illusions, they possess the same form and power as the real ones. You can tell how much of a magic essence they possess. The moment they lose their illusionary forms, the saved up magic essence would condense and form the magic stones.”
When Karin-san heard my muttering, she explained to me as her thick glasses shone.
“I see~”
Karin-san isn’t just knowledgeable in slimes, but she’s also knowledgeable about other things, huh?

“Is that so?!”
The knight academy’s teacher that was next to us overheard the conversation and raised his voice in surprise.
Karin-san nodded with folded arms as she said, “That’s right.”
“In the first place, dungeons are like shadow illusions, formed in places close to the spirit world.”
“It’s my first time hearing about the spirit world, what exactly is that?”
“That’s the place where the powerful deities in the past are headed to.”
“Powerful deities…?”
“That’s right. In the past, this place was…”
‘As expected of an expert,’ I thought as I listened to Karin-san’s explanation. Suddenly, Karin-san stopped talking and opened her eyes wide.
What? Did she discover something?

“That is…”
“Huh?”
“Isn’t that a slime–?!”
Karin-san shrieked as she rushed over at full speed towards the direction of the Earth Dragon.
Hm? Didn’t she say before that she wasn’t interested in the slimes inside the dungeons since they aren’t the real thing?
I tilted my head in confusion. Amanda-san smiled wryly as she explained to me.
“When the monsters inside a dungeon died, they’d get absorbed by the dungeon. However, slimes from who-knows-where also appeared and cleanly dissolved the monsters’ corpses. Based on what Karin said, apparently the cleaner slimes have a certain scent.”
In other words, the slimes that are doing the cleaning are the real thing?!
“As expected they’d come out when a big monster like this appeared. Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff… Haah. There’s the good moldy scent, the cleaner slimes’ peculiarity. Aah, the scent of the stone’s mixed among it, too.”
…Eh? It’s a scent like mold’s, but it’s a good scent?
Eeeeh–?!

The teacher, who had been revering Karin-san who was giving explanation about the dungeons up until just now, was looking at the trembling figure with a dumbfounded gaze.
I understand that feeling.
But Karin-san is generally like that whenever it involves slimes…
“Look, young lass. Most of the slimes in a dungeon won’t smell good, but only the gray slimes, often called as the cleaner slimes, have a different scent in each dungeon. Come, you can try smelling them too.”
“Uhhmmm… I’m a bit hesitant about that…”
I reflexively stepped back as I declined. However, Karin-san went to the trouble of returning to where I was and pulled me by my arms.
“There’s no need to hesitate. Let’s go!”
Uwaaaah!
Amanda-san, Ar-niisama, help meeee!
As I was slowly dragged, I looked at the two of them with my teary eyes, seeking help.
The two people I called heaved a sigh before they started coming here to save me.
Huff… I’m saved!
As I felt relieved, suddenly I heard a cracking sound from somewhere.
…I wonder what that was? Did I mishear it?

Crack, crack…
“What was that voice?”
I looked around the surroundings, but there was particularly nothing.
But Virna-san’s ears twitched as if trying to pinpoint the place where the sound originated from, perhaps she had heard that voice as well.
“Oi, oi, don’t tell me it’s the Earth Dragon’s family?! I have never heard of them having a family or anything like that!”
Frank-san clicked his tongue but he readied himself vigilantly.
Virna-san fervently moved her ears as if trying to make sure of the sound.
Then, her ears suddenly stopped.
“That’s not it. It’s from below!”
Below?!
I looked at my feet, but there was nothing–

At that time, I heard a cracking sound that felt as if something were about to burst.
As I looked closely, cracks were forming under the Earth Dragon’s body.
What does it mean if a crack is forming in a dungeon? Shouldn’t the dungeons’ wall be durable enough that it won’t be damaged even if you were to hit it with magic or even swords?
“Crap. It’s going to be a big crash. Everyone, run!”
At the same time as he raised his voice, Frank-san’s body sunk into the ground.
No, that’s not it. I am the one who’s falling into the crack in an instant!
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
And that was how I, together with Karin-san who was holding my hand, fell into the crevice–
thanks for the chapter
