Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

Dungeon of Precious Stones Once Again (3)

""(We’re back~)""

After a while, the children finally returned from the small room.

"Welcome back. Radian, are you hurt?"

(Nope~ But I got really startled~)

"Yeah, it’s surprising when you suddenly fall. Be more careful of your surroundings from now on, okay?"

(Okay~)

Although Radian's fall was an accident, I want him to learn to be more cautious of his surroundings.

"Also, Allen, Elena. If there are traps, it would be really troubling, so please don’t jump in without checking."

Now, it’s time for a little scolding for Allen and Elena!

""Radian would be all alone.""

"That’s certainly sad, but if something happened to you two because you didn’t check, Radian would be even sadder."

""Mumumu.""

Allen and Elena furrowed their brows and seriously thought about my words.

"Of course, I would be sad, too."

"...... Uniyu~"

As a final blow, I conveyed my feelings, and the two of them looked like they were about to cry.

""…… Will be careful.""

It was more of a tear-jerking speech than a scolding, but it seemed to have made the children reflect.

"Alright, that’s enough for the reflection! So, why didn’t you come back right away from the room below?"

""Uniyu… a treasure chest…""

"Huh, there was a treasure chest? Wait a second, did you open it!?"

""Miyu!""

I quickly checked if I needed to scold them again for opening it without checking for traps.

(Ah, Oniichan, we had Kaiser check if there were any traps.)

"Indeed, there were none."

"Oh, that’s right. Kaiser can use Appraisal as well."

It seems that the reliable Joule and Feat made sure to check properly.

I’m glad I don’t have to continue the scolding.

(Allen-chan, Elena-chan, Niisama is just worried about you, not angry, so why don’t you tell him what was in the treasure chest)

I had raised my voice in surprise, which seemed to have intimidated Allen and Elena. Feat calmed them down for me.

… I feel a bit complicated. As I thought, I’m not good at getting angry.

"Sorry for raising my voice. So, what was in the treasure chest? Can you tell me?"

""You see, you see””

I patted Allen and Elena to calm them down, it seemed I was able to lift their spirits.

""Oniichan! There was a bracelet for changing equipment!""

"What!? A bracelet for changing equipment?"

Was it a hidden room? A trap room? I'm not sure, but it seems the room where Radian fell had the magic tool we were looking for.

"Wow, amazing! Really?"

"Umu, there's no mistake. This bracelet seems to allow two outfits to be registered. It's better than my earring."

"Huh? Kaiser, your earring can only register one outfit?"

"Umu, it has Takumi's matching outfit registered."

It seems that the number of outfits that can be registered is not fixed and can vary.

""That's not fair, Kaiser!""

"Allen wants to match outfits with Oniichan, too!"

"Elena wants to match as well!"

Allen and Elena were more interested in matching outfits than the number of outfits that could be registered.

"… Should we make some matching outfits next time?"

""Make!""

Although the clothes I wear were prepared by Syl, and while they are of good quality, they are just an ordinary shirt and a jacket. But if it makes the two happy, there’s no problem making them. In fact, I'm more excited about making various clothes and dressing them up.

"We were lucky to find the magic tool we wanted so quickly."

(That's right! But we need more of these tools, so we’re just getting started!)

Joule’s words were met with nods of agreement from Feat and the others.

It seems they want to be well-prepared for when they acquire the Humanization skill.

"So, who will hold onto this magic tool?"

(Huh? Oniichan, we can't turn humanoid yet.)

"But you'll need it when you can, right? When Kaiser turned human, he was troubled because he was naked."

"… Indeed."

Depending on the place, wandering around naked after transforming could be a big problem.

"Since we don't know what form you'll take, for now, should we register a large cloak or coat to wear over it?"

Wearing a coat while naked does conjure up images of a pervert… but well, as long as no one else finds out, it should be fine.

(Oh! That makes sense! Then, the girls should have priority. Maybe Feat or Mile would be good.)

(I agree with that.)

(It's disappointing, but yeah. I'll work hard to get mine soon!)

(Radian too~)

It seemed all the boys were true gentlemen. They're such good kids.

(I'm okay with going later! So, Feat, you should have it!)

(Are you sure? Wouldn't it be better if Niisama made use of it rather than me holding it for nothing?)

"I can change clothes normally, so it's not a problem for me."

"Allen too!"

"Elena also!"

Both Allen, Elena, and I dress similarly whether we’re on adventures or during our days off, so there aren’t many situations where we need to change clothes suddenly.

(Thank you. Then I'll hold onto it. Niisama, sorry to trouble you, but could you get a cloak for me in town?)

"I can choose and buy it, but you should pick out a cloak in a color you like, Feat. I'll call you when we walk around town."

(Wow, I'm looking forward to it~ Thank you, Niisama.)

(I'm so jealous~)

"Then we'll pick a cloak for Mile at the same time. It'll be your turn when we get the next magic tool for changing equipment."

(Yay!)

Once we return to town, I'll immediately call Feat and Mile for some shopping.

(Oh, I just had a great idea! Listen, listen!)

"… Vector, what did you come up with?"

With the shopping plans settled, it seems Vector has thought of something brilliant. We'll have to see if it's really a good idea.

(So, listen! If we register a forest-colored cloak, we can hide in the forest by covering ourselves with the cloak! That way, even if we can't humanize, we can still use it, right?)

"...…"

(Wow, that's a really good idea for Vector~)

(Joule! Saying "for Vector" is mean! I can come up with good ideas too!)

For Vector, this is indeed a great idea.

"It looks like the magic tool Feat has can register two items, so should we adopt Vector's idea for the second one?"

(Indeed, let's do that, Niisama.)

For now, we decided that the first registered item will be a cloak that Feat likes, and the second one will be a camouflage cloak based on Vector's idea.

(Alright, Oniichan, let's move forward! I have a feeling we'll find more things we want in this dungeon, so let's keep going!)

"You're right."

As Joule said, finding the magic tool we wanted on the fourteenth floor was a good start. I hope we can find a magic ring next.

(Okay! Then, to move forward, we first need to gather some Ant Honey!)

""Yeah!""

"Huh?"

From the conversation flow, I thought we would head straight to the lower floors, but it seems they aren't giving up on collecting transparent and white Ant Honey.

"… Well, it's fine."

Since it’s useful, I decided to let the children do as they pleased.

"… You collected lots, huh?"

""We worked hard!""

(Radian worked hard too!)

As a result, thanks to the diligent ant hunting by the children, we acquired a large amount of Ant Honey.
