Hey, Roxanne.
I want to add skills to my equipment.
How do I do that?
Normally you purchase gear that comes with skills equipped.
I'm not talking about buying equipment.
How do I add them myself?
Are you talking about Skill Crystals?
Skill Crystals?
They're formed through the accumulation of monster skills.
Error Image cannot be displayed.
They're found rarely in labyrinths, and when fused with equipment...
It applies that skill?
It all depends on the skill of the blacksmith fusing the items.
A blacksmith, huh? I'll need that job.
How can I become one?
I'm sorry, but Blacksmith is a job unique to dwarves.
You aren't eligible.
I can't become one?!
So I'll have to hire a blacksmith if I want to make any equipment with skills.
I wouldn't recommend it.
It fails most of the time, and blacksmiths dislike direct transactions.
Even if you found one, there's no telling if you can trust them.
Some dwarves have made a fortune by pretending the fusion process failed.
I see.
They tell their client they failed and make a profit selling the equipment with skills later.
Sounds like fusing Skill Crystals is a source of a lot of problems.
Yes, Master. Though it's a different story if you're on friendly terms with a blacksmith.
Then we'll recruit a blacksmith to our party.
What?
Nothing. Mind if I open the window?
That's fine.
Thank you for waiting.
Roxanne really is beautiful.
Roxanne, take this leather armor.
Yes, Master. Thank you.
Roxanne, were you able to get it on okay?
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Um...

I know equipment stretches and shrinks to fit the wearer,

but this is too much.
Thank you.
I guess leather armor isn't for women.
It looks like the jacket doesn't emphasize her figure.
Party Organization, Roxanne.

Shall we get going?
Yes, Master.
in the Labyrinth of Another World
Harem
Vale, Vale Plaza
Master, aren't we going to the labyrinth?
Teleport.
Huh? Um...
Huh? What?
Are you okay, Roxanne?
Master, where are we?
Vale Labyrinth, First Floor
On the first floor of the labyrinth.
But I thought Dungeon Walk could only be used inside labyrinths.
I used Teleportation magic.
I've never heard of that.
It's possible not many others can use it, so don't tell anyone.
Master, you're amazing.
Which way should we go?
Master, if you're looking for monsters, there are some nearby to the right.
I can smell them.
What? You can?
I don't smell anything unusual.
Is it because you're a wolfkin?
My nose is exceptionally good, even for a wolfkin.
I'm good at detecting prey.
That's amazing.
Then could you take us towards the monsters?
Very well.
In that case, could you lend me a Magic Crystal?
Magic Crystal? What's that?
Monsters are made of magic power.
When monsters are defeated, their magic power gradually accumulates,
eventually forming a Magic Crystal.
Magic Crystals filled with magic power are used by guild temples as energy sources.
Why do you want me to lend you one?
Because you can't store magic power when you defeat monsters unless you have a Magic Crystal.
Have I been screwing myself?
Do Magic Crystals sell for a lot?
They're probably the most valuable item that can be acquired in labyrinths.
Well, they're valuable,
but you only accumulate a tiny amount of magic power at a time.
A person sells Magic Crystals only a handful of times over the course of their life.
Even if you haven't had one until now, you didn't lose much.
So it's all right.
Roxanne...
I made her concerned about me.
How can we acquire a Magic Crystal?
You can find them in labyrinths or purchase empty ones from guilds.
Then, let's go buy some later.
Hey, there really was a monster.
Here I go.
I got it.
A single blow?
Impressive, Master.
It's this sword that's impressive.
Don't tell anyone.
Which way next?
Straight ahead.
She's happy?
All right. Let's keep going a little longer.
Vale, Vale Restaurant
You're the reason we got all of this.
Not at all.
We were able to defeat so many because you're so strong, Master.
No, it's your power that's impressive.
Because I was a newcomer to the party I used to be part of,
nobody listened to my opinions.
I either watched battles from a distance
or was told to attack inconspicuously from behind, but you...
Well... You've got a great power.
We'd better put it to good use.
Yes, Master. I'm glad I could be useful to you.
Come here and have a seat.
Yes, Master.
From now on, when we enter the room, you don't need to wait to be told to sit.
Actually, sit as close to me as possible.
I'll try not to climb on top of you just because you're sitting next to me.
I-I'm fine. I wouldn't mind—
I like the sound of that.
Can I taste your ears?
What? I-I doubt they taste very good.
I'm just going to play with them.
I'll stop if it hurts or you don't like it.
Let me know right away.
Actually, it feels good to have them stroked.
Would it be all right to eat them after all?
Anyway, these dog ears reminds me of something.
Not sponge cake, but something springier.
Oh, I know.
Do they have grilled seaweed-wrapped mochi around here?
Grilled seaweed-wrapped mochi?
It's a food I like from my homeland.
I don't know about around here,
but if you head to the coast,
you might find people grilling fish on the beach.
Yeah, that's not quite the same thing.
I see. Maybe I'll try looking for some.
Um, Master...
Will you be returning to your homeland someday?
My homeland, huh?
I know. I should've been thinking about it, but...
I'm not going back.
And besides, I probably can't.
Unfortunately for you,
I won't be disbanding our party so I can return to my homeland.
Actually, that's not why I asked.
I know.
Typically people sell slaves they no longer need.
It's all right.
I plan on keeping you forever.
Yes, Master. Thank you.
But naturally, I do want to maximize our party's strength.
I'll probably recruit more members.
Yes, Master. It's only natural.
Great. I'll take that to mean she consents to [beep].
Two Magic Crystals, please.
Are black Magic Crystals acceptable?
Black?
I'd like empty crystals, please.
Those would be black Magic Crystals.
They're ten nars per crystal.
Roxanne,
thanks for waiting. Here they are.
A Magic Crystal's color changes depending on the magic power stored inside it.
They turn red after defeating ten monsters and purple after defeating a hundred.
So the color changes with each tenfold increase.
Is there a maximum limit?
Apparently, they turn white after defeating one million monsters,
but most stop at green, which is ten thousand.
It's typical for people to sell them once they turn blue,
after defeating 100 thousand monsters.
Got it. Then, let's head to the labyrinth.
All right.
Impressive. The first floor monsters no longer stand a chance against you.
Why don't we head to a higher floor?
You mean it doesn't go down?
It goes upwards because the labyrinth is growing.
What?
The labyrinth is growing?
Labyrinths are thought to be living creatures.
They lure people to them, use monsters to defeat them,
and feed on their bodies.
There are labyrinths other than this one because the labyrinths multiplied.
How do you defeat—no, kill a labyrinth?
The only way is to defeat the boss on every level and reach the highest floor.
Sounds like a tough battle.
I should think about acquiring ways to attack multiple monsters at once.
Which means...
Are there any spells that attack all targets?
Spells? I've heard such spells exist, but I don't know much about them.
If I want to become a Mage, I should probably try actually casting spells.
I have Bonus Incantations I can use without being a Mage.
I may be able to acquire the Mage job
by casting the attack spells in my Bonus Incantations.
Gamma Ray Burst

I'll start with this one.
In that case...

How is your Magic Crystal looking?
It changed color.
What about yours?
Mine is still black.
Only the person who strikes the killing blow gains its magic power.
I didn't notice earlier,
but I have something called Crystallization Upgrade as a Bonus Skill.

Should be enough.
Roxanne, take a look.
Purple? But how?
Don't tell anyone.
Master, that's incredible.
Do you know how much Magic Crystals sell for?
Greens go for ten thousand nars, and yellows go for 100 thousand nars.
It's not as though I need the money right now,
so I guess I'll deactivate Crystallization Upgrade.

Beast Warrior seems to have good effects,
so I'll keep her the way she is.
That just leaves healing.
Do you have any healing skills or spells?
The Monk and Priest jobs can use those.
To become one, you must defeat monsters with your bare hands.
Your bare hands?
But it seems worth trying out.
Roxanne, could you put away your sword and fight bare-handed?
Yes, Master.
That said, it'll probably be difficult even for the both of us
to defeat monsters bare-handed from the get-go.
How was that?

Slow and steady does it.
Lowering my weapon's strength by one level makes it ineffective?
Watch out, Rox—
Huh?
She's dodging all the monster's attacks.
At first glance, it seems like she's barely dodging them,
but it's actually the other way around.
Large movements are inefficient.
Look, dodge, and attack.
It's like a magnificent dance.
Don't get distracted.
Now I just have to finish it off with punches.

Yes, Master. It was defeated when I struck it after you punched it.
Impressive work. You dodged all its attacks, too.
Because we had it surrounded.
And those attacks can be dodged easily if you're watching closely.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I'll finish off the next one.
Roxanne, just help me flank it and don't attack.
Understood.
This way.
If I want to get its health as low as possible with a single sword attack,

Excuse me.
Good work today.
Yes, Master. You, too.
How did you feel about today's combats?
Did you notice anything strange from your perspective?
The way you fought was impressive.
I'm sorry I wasn't very useful.
You were plenty useful at finding monsters.
And besides, your movements in combat seemed reliable, too.
I look forward to fighting alongside you.
Yes, Master. You can count on me.
Your fingers are so elegant and soft.
Yours are large, Master.
I thought we were around the same age.
Is it because you're a man?
They're so sturdy.
I'm sure it's the same for most men whether they're humans or wolfkin.
U-Um...
Don't worry about it.

But I'm a slave.

And besides, we'll sweat even more after this.
You're not wrong.
But that's not what I meant.

At least, allow me to wash your body first.
Then, maybe I'll have you do that once I finish here.
I can clean that myself.
Could you wash my body, too?
Yes, Master.

I could never imagine this happening in the world I came from.
But that's why I feel so alive.
There aren't any monsters, but there's something about this room that feels off.
