Jingle, jingle.

“Come again next time.”

The owner of the clothing store waved at us with satisfaction. He must be in a good mood after selling so many items.

Thanks to that, I ended up with a lot of stuff to carry. But it wasn’t really inconvenient since I could just store it all in my inventory, 《Squirrel Cache》.

“Sir Theo, how do I look? It’s been a while since I wore pants, so it feels a bit awkward... But since they fit snugly, they should be comfortable to move in.”

Mirna spun around, her movements as graceful and elegant as a figure skater gliding on ice or a ballerina.

“You look great.”

I praised Mirna honestly.

Wearing leather light armor, a cloak, sturdy boots with iron studs, gloves, and belt to hold various items.

She looked like something specific came to mind.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

“You look like a rookie adventurer.”

Mirna frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with my evaluation.

“Rookie? Not a veteran? Sir Theo, aren’t you underestimating my skills?”

“It’s not that. Your equipment is just too clean. It’s like you just bought it. You look like someone who has just come to the city with dreams of becoming an adventurer.”

“Well, that might be true. After all, the equipment is brand new. But Sir Theo, are you sure you’re not buying anything?”

Mirna seemed concerned that I hadn’t bought anything at the clothing store. Of course, I just shrugged.

“What I’m wearing now is enough.”

While Mirna needed new clothes to avoid dirtying her expensive dress, my current outfit was more than adequate.

Mirna nodded, seeming to understand my point.

“Indeed, that robe is quite an excellent piece. It always seems pristine, as if it repels dirt and dust. It truly befits something found in the depths of the Draco family’s basement.”

People made a living managing dungeons and controlling access. Guilds, familias, or organizations usually bought practical dungeons.

I’ve gained some knowledge.

“Sir Theo, let’s go inside. What’s the activation phrase?”

“Don’t be surprised when you hear it.”

“Is it a strange language?”

Instead of answering Mirna’s question, I cleared my throat and said.

“─I like naked women.”

“What!? W-what did you just say—”

Mirna was visibly shocked.

But I merely showed her the map the witch had given me.

“That’s the activation phrase. ‘I like naked women.’”

“Even so, I’m really disappointed in you, Sir Theo...! How could you say something so shameless in public....”

Uuuuung—.

As Mirna’s eyes narrowed in disapproval and she opened her mouth to say more, the mural began to glow.

The inside of the dungeon was a ruin full of collapsed columns and statues.

Though there was no sun, it was as bright as broad daylight, which was odd. But it was nice and cool, unlike the hot Angmar city.

The mana touching my skin was abundant. My imp tail wand was even buzzing, as if it was eager to use magic.

Seuk, seuk-.

Mirna glanced around and said.

“This is a typical ruin type. Judging by the temple architecture, it’s likely an interdimensional space created around the 5 centuries ago. Not that Sir Theo would understand any of that.”
