The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter Chapter 12

After Emma regained control of her shaky feet we went over to the rabbit to cut off its horns, the quest's proof of subjugation.

"Hey Noir, I heard this monster's meat is super delicious."

"Oh? I'd try it, but I don't think we can carry this one back."

"True..., guess we can't."

"Actually, wait."

In this world there are skills with a focus on item storage. I believed they were called 「Storage Subdimension」 and gave skill creation a try.

「Storage Subdimension B」 1000

「Storage Subdimension S」 3000

Going by the skill description, it seemed like even C rank had a fairly large storage volume, also making its stored contents deteriorate slower than

But well, I was happy with C.

"Emma, I have a request. Let's do today's greeting."

"Nh."

I had her kiss with me while we hugged each other. The LP gain wasn't that huge, but the turnout seemed to reset after a day so I wanted to make it a

Having earned some more LP I created the skill and tried using it by touching the dead rabite's body.

We were going to leave the grasslands like that, but that's when we encountered a problem we couldn't overlook.

When we arrived back at the guild Lola was all smiles, beckoning us over to her.

"I was waiting for you, how did it go?"

"Here's the requested proof of subjugation. There were two, but we defeated them both."

Mostly Emma.

"Already had companions with it, I see. I'll report that to the guild master afterwards, we might be able to get you an additional reward for it."

After the paperwork was finished I told Lola about our plans to eat some big rabite meat.

"We do have a contracted butcher so letting us take care of the preparations should be fine. The service is free of charge if you're willing to trade some of the raw meat for it."

"Alright, I'll let you handle the big rabite then."

"...? And where is it?"

It seemed quicker to just show her than to explain it, so I opened the storage space and made the big rabite appear on the floor.

"Huh!? D-don't tell me, a storage skill?"

"One of those, yeah. So, will that do?"

"Well, certainly, this will do, it's just..."

Lola wasn't the only one surprised. The adventurers nearby gathered around us all at once.

"You a subdimensional storage holder? How about partying up with me, let's go!"

"Not bad for a rookie, nice work defeating a big rabite!"

All of Odin was in such high spirits I wondered if it was because the meat was as delicious as Emma had heard.

People showed up carrying all kinds of spices with them.

The butcher that was brought along handled the meat with skilled cuts, and after letting the meat sizzle on a heated iron plate we sprinkled some salt on it.

"After you, general!"

"Oh you guys, I could nev- Thank you for the meal!"

I started the feast with a big bite.

And it was delicious――――!!

Similar to chicken meat, but a little lighter in taste and tougher in consistency. It felt high quality, and as though the more you ate the more you wanted another bite.

«BBQ is War» by Emma Brightness.

for, I was thinking that some dessert would be nice. Right then an adventurer walked up to me.

"Hey hey, want to try this?"

"Eh-, don't tell me those are..."

"Oh, they are. Rabbit eyes."

Two completely black, candy ball looking things were placed on the plate I was shown. As I drew away from the sight he picked one up and threw it in his mouth.

"Kahaaa――, that's the stuff."

'N-no way,' I couldn't believe it was that delicious. However, his expression didn't seem faked either.

"The meat was basically thanks to you, after all. Although I'll be glad to take it if you don't want to?"

"...I'll eat it."

"There we go."

I remembered master's words, that story about disgusting looking delicacies being an efficient way to raise LP. With a resolved mind I ate the rabbit eye in one bite.

The eye was hot, probably boiled before-hand, and even softer than I could have imagined. It went sploosh when I chewed it and juice came out of its inside, spreading throughout my mouth.

"Sweet, but salty... or salty but sweet?"

"Tasty, right?"

"Yes, a lot more than I thought!"

"These sort of delicacies aren't too popular, but a good amount of them are actually great. Make women and children scream, though."

"Thank you for telling me about these."

"No problem."

With a feeling like I discovered a new world that day I became a little more of an adult. Or if nothing else, I certainly did grow in regards to my LP.

『Current LP: 2200』

　　◇　◆　◇

Sounded like just burning them with white flame as they are should be fine for levels around 100.

「White Flame」 800 LP

With this, my remaining LP were 800.

『Good luck, work hard~』

Focusing on my desire to go to the third floor I used the dungeon floor movement skill in front of master. Shortly after, a pitfall looking thing appeared on the ground before me, surprising me a little. As a man of the scared chicken kind I was a little worried about whether jumping into it would be a smart idea.

For a single moment my field of vision turned black, and in the next I already had ground under my feet.

And thus, the staircase was right next to me.

'Ooh, looks like I really did arrive at the third floor in an instant.'

Sure was convenient.
