「Ah. …Eh?」
「A-ah, nice! My level went up, wait, what?」
Looking at the results of the appraisal, I tried to ‘pretend’ to be surprised that I’d leveled up… but ended up genuinely shocked instead.
My status now showed a brand-new title, ‘Dungeon Master’, and a new skill, ‘Dungeon Lv1’.
…Well, that’s a problem.
I mean, sure, it’s great that I got new stuff, but now Laudette-san’s seen everything.
「Um, Alec-san, what’s… this?」
「Uh… well…」
This isn’t good. If Laudette-san knows, that means the Church knows.
And if the Church knows… actually, wait a second. Isn’t that fine?
After all, the Church’s top is Yggdrasil-san.
If she’s the one in charge, there’s nothing to worry about. I was planning to tell her eventually anyway.
…Still, what exactly am I supposed to say to Laudette-san right now?
「U-um, Alec-san, That ‘Dungeon’…..?」
「Ah, well… I, uh, kind of started one.」
「Started… a dungeon?」
「Y-yeah. Yggdrasil-san told me to give it a try, so… I went ahead and made a dungeon.」
「I see…」
For the moment, I decided to just rely on Yggdrasil-san’s name again.
Honestly, at this point I’m practically dumping ‘everything dungeon-related’ on her shoulders.
「When you say dungeon, you mean that thing people explore underground, right?」
「Yeah, that’s the one.」
…Well, ‘Alec-Nana Tentative Open Close Parenthesis Dungeon’ doesn’t really go ‘underground’, but still.
「Huh. I didn’t know you could just… start one like thattt」
「Apparently you can. That’s Yggdrasil-san for you.」
「Yeah, she’s amazing, isn’t sheee?」
As expected of Yggdrasil-san, she’s got that kind of influence. Even Laudette-san seemed convinced.
「Anyway, it looks like I gained both a new title and a new skill. Have you ever heard of a skill called ‘Dungeon’, Laudette-san?」
「Hmm. I’ve only ever heard that it existsss 」
「W-what!? You ‘know’ about it, Laudette-san!?」
「Eh? Y-yes… well, I mean, not in detail or anythinggg 」
Amazing. She even knows about such a ridiculously specific skill.
You can really feel her dedication to her “explanation character” role.
「I’ve just heard that people known as ‘Dungeon Masters’ possess that kind of skilll. But as for what it actually does, or what kind of Skill Arts it grants, I couldn’t sayyy」
「I see. Well, I guess it does seem like a Dungeon-Master-exclusive skill.」
There probably aren’t many Dungeon Masters around. Even someone like Laudette-san wouldn’t have full knowledge of it.
Still, Skill Arts, huh… Since I’ve got the skill now, that means I should eventually unlock its arts too. Something to look forward to.
「By the way, Alec-san. Could it be that Nana-san is connected to the dungeon somehow?」
「Eh? Ah… yes, that’s right. Yggdrasil-san thought it would be too much for me to manage alone, so she sent someone to assist me.」
「Ah, I figureddd」
That’s the logical conclusion, after all. A boy who suddenly becomes a Dungeon Master, and a mysterious woman who appeared out of nowhere, both said to be connected to Yggdrasil-san. Of course she’d assume Nana was involved.
「I’m Nana, affiliated with the dungeon. It’s a pleasure to meet you.」
「Y-yesss, likewiseee」
For some reason, Nana reached out for another handshake.
That made three in total with Laudette-san.
What’s with this politician-style move of hers?
「Then, may I have my own appraisal as well?」
「Yes, that’s fineee」
「Mas… I mean, Alexis-sama, may I?」
「Yeah, go ahead.」
Looks like we’re about to surprise Laudette-san again with Nana’s results. Well, can’t be helped.
「Then, Laudette-san, please take this, ah.」
「Thank you very much, 」
Even though I’d already paid for two people upfront, I went and accidentally paid for Nana-san’s appraisal ‘again’…
The coins I’d handed over were already tucked away in Laudette-san’s pouch. It’d be awkward to ask for them back now.
And she just accepted them so smoothly too. That was an honest mistake, right? She didn’t ‘pretend’ to forget she’d already been paid, right?
「Um, Alexis-sama…?」
「Yeah. Well then, Nana-san, go ahead with your appraisal.」
「…Yes.」
It seemed Nana-san also noticed I’d double-paid.
But it’s fine. It’s already done. Let’s just move on.
When Nana-san placed her hand on the crystal,

「Hmm…」
「I see…」
「Eh…」
There were ‘so many’ points to comment on that I didn’t even know where to start.
So, Nana-san was also a Dungeon Master… huh.
I sent her a look that said.
『Heh, so you’re a Dungeon Master too, huh?』
But Nana-san only tilted her head slightly in response.
next chapter: Still… if it’s Yggdrasil-san… Yggdrasil-san will surely figure something out…!
