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

I don’t think it’s something I can handle… though it’s not that there’s no method… the risk is too great.

“…She’s my first friend. I don’t want to see her struggling.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll do my best… But you should also do your best.”

“Alright! I’ll ask Rin too!”

Even though I don’t expect a good answer from Rin…

That day, Lady Diana was absent from the dinner, and we ate our meal silently, looking at the empty front.

At night.

I arrived at Lady Evans’s house.

“Ah, Beryl, I have a favor to ask.”

“Lady Evans! Please, ask me anything!”

“Hehe, you’re like Pochi.”

“Please call me Pochi!”

“Alright, Pochi. Fetch me a magic stone.”

“A magic stone?”

“Yes. Magic stones have been heavily collected from the capital and are hard to come by. The timing is bad, and the magic machines are running low on magic stones.”

“I see. Then… Lisa, I’m sorry. I’m the only one who can enter the capital’s underground dungeon, so you’ll have to stay behind today.”

“Okay.”

I headed alone to the capital’s underground dungeon.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the capital, the huge buildings still stood as always.

That’s to be expected. They’ve been here as long as they haven’t fallen apart.

First, I used the technique [Shadow Movement] to enter the building through a gap.

From the temple leading to the dungeon underground, I used a crystal to enter the dungeon.

The scenery changed to the familiar red-colored cave walls.

“Pochi. Last time there were people here, so guide me in the direction with no people.”

“Gah! Gah! Woof woof!”

“What’s wrong? Excited all of a sudden. Huh? You want me to go this way quickly?”

“Woof woof!”

Excited Pochi ran quickly.

Chasing after Pochi, I slashed a Fire Lizard.

It was easier to defeat than in the Emblam Dungeon; after all, the enemies there have more health from the first floor.

It’s been a while since I saw an excited Pochi.

We passed through a maze of paths and eventually found a wide area.

Like the boss floor of the Emblam Dungeon, there was a red lizard with wings and a person there.

“Not yet… I can’t lose here!”

She applied a potion to heal her burns and leapt at the red lizard.

Her presence here meant—that’s what it was. Everything felt connected.

The anxious girl struck the red lizard several times but unfortunately, it had no effect. She was struck by the lizard’s tail and thrown away.

Her magic bag’s strap broke and flew into the air, and her body fell to the ground helplessly.

“I can still… go on… I have to… I can’t… lose…”

I knew she was cornered, but this was extreme.

The red lizard charged at her with fierce momentum. Although she managed to stand using her sword as a staff, she was out of strength, and the magic bag with potions was far away.

“I must… protect… everyone…”

If she dies before she can protect, there’s no point. What is she doing?

…Sigh.

I emerged from [Shadow Movement] and slashed the red lizard’s back and wings with Black Days.

“Gyahhhhhhh!”

Pochi immediately body-slammed the lizard, creating distance from her.
