Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 33.1

“I’m not that sensitive to those kinds of things, but… oh well. I apologize for sending killing intent.”

Whether it was an act or not, there didn’t seem to be any hostility. But I can’t let my guard down because I don’t know what might happen.

“Anyway, hey, you. What’s that weapon? It’s not a spear, right? At first, I thought it was supposed to be a death that wasn’t there, but the weapon is white, and when I look closely, it’s a boy, and it talks.”

“I didn’t intend to tell you about my weapon.”

“Wow… I see. So you’re… someone with a unique ability. It would be clear if I saw your weapon… Being here alone at your age, that’s what it means.”

“You don’t seem much older than me, but you’re alone too.”

“Hm? Ahaha! That’s right~ Because I… have a unique ability.”

A unique ability refers to a skill that can only evolve under special conditions where the evolution path is unclear. Like my Reaper’s.

“Hey. Since we both have unique abilities, let’s get along! Want to form a party?”

“Decline.”

“Hmm… Then, how about letting me have you once?”

“No need!”

Even though she looks barely ten, she’s saying such things!

Wait… Could she really be experienced at that age!? Dammit…

“I see. Even so, I think I’m quite cute.”

“I won’t deny it, but I’m not interested in someone mysterious.”

“Hehe. You’re interesting~. Well then, can you at least tell me your name? I’m Rin. And you?”

“…Beryl.”

“Beryl huh~ Hehe. Nice name. I’ll give up on the party thing, but since I hunt here occasionally, let’s say hi when we meet again~”

“S-Sure…”

Surprisingly easily, she withdrew and passed by me carelessly, heading deeper inside. As she passed by, she left a cryptic remark: “I’ve remembered that black hair of yours.”

Come to think of it, she has black hair too. Could it be… she reincarnated like me? Even though black hair isn’t that rare, there are quite a few if you look around.

She’s the second person I’ve seen hunting in the dungeon besides Cress-san and his group… Well, they’re still a group of four even now, so she must be quite strong.

That power earlier was probably something like an Assassin’s, but if she’s different from a legitimate Assassin… maybe a Kunoichi? I’ve heard they have techniques to hide in shadows, but I’ve never seen it used in battle myself.

Well, whatever the case, if she’s not a clear enemy, it’s probably fine for now.

With that thought, I left the dungeon and returned to the mansion.

In a dark room.

A man sits on a wooden chair, and there’s a woman kneeling in front of him.

“How was he?”

“Hm… Impossible. I can’t defeat him. Especially since he was on the second floor.”

“The second floor… I see. So that’s why he’s so strong at that age. And then? Was there any chance to get close to him?”

“There wasn’t. He’s not the type to trust anyone. But once he does trust someone… he seems like the type who trusts completely. Given time… it might be possible, but there’s also a need for him to appear publicly.”

“…That won’t do. Proceed with the plan quietly.”

“Understood. I won’t have results right away, though.”

“Do your best.”

“Yes. Then… even if I have to risk my body, I’ll gain his favor.”

“Got it.”

She left the dark room.

And quietly muttered to herself.

“Sigh… to a man who doesn’t know about my first time… I don’t like it…”
