Chapter 71. Strange Dream

What I saw in my field of vision was a landscape that I had never seen before in the real world.

It was a landscape I had never seen before in the real world.

We were on top of a hill under a clear sky.

A single road ran through the sea of green grass down to the bottom of the hill.

The ‘we’ was me, Kazane-san, and Yuzuki.

All three of us are dressed in dungeon gear.

So were we in a dungeon?

I followed the road with my eyes and saw what looked like a town a short distance ahead.

Looking further into the distance, we could also see mountains and forests.

The town was not the urban area of buildings we were familiar with.

It was a small village surrounded by stone walls, with many triangular-roofed houses, some of which looked like castles.

There are some fields around the town.

We can see some farmers pulling oxen and horses.

On the road leading to the town, there were people passing by and horse-drawn carriages.

Where the road meets the town’s wall, there is a gate to enter and exit the town, and what appears to be a checkpoint is in operation.

I discussed something with Kazane-san and Yuzuki, then headed down the road from the top of the hill to the city.

My consciousness was not on me. It was a strange feeling like I had a bird’s eye view of the situation.

Eventually, the three of us passed through the gate and into the city.

We passed through medieval European-style streets that looked like something you would see in a fantasy anime and eventually arrived in front of a building.

We entered the building.

Inside the building was a meeting place.

A crowd of rough-looking people, armed with weapons similar to ours, were hanging out there.

All of them were staring at us at once.

Then I woke up.

The same ceiling, the same home.

The morning sun was streaming in at an angle from the window beside my bed, pouring down on my bed.

There was no one in sight except me in the dimly lit, cozy room.

“Whew, …… I had a weird dream …….”

I got up, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and stretched out on the bed.

***

I took two days off. At the beginning of the next week.

“What, did you have that dream too, Daichi-kun?”

“Are there Senpai and Kazane-san too? I saw them too.”

As usual, while exploring the forest floor dungeon, I told them about the dream I had the other day, and they both responded with such voices.

“What? …… So, Kazane-san and Yuzuki saw it too? That otherworldly dream.”

“Yeah. By any chance, is it a dream of the future?”

“What do you mean by a dream, the three of us traveling to another world? Something like that.

“Maybe it’s a dungeon that looks like that. There are dungeons like the forest floor, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there were something like that.

However, I don’t remember seeing anything like it on the Internet.

I haven’t done much research on dungeons other than this one we’re exploring, and I can’t say for sure that there aren’t any.

But I don’t think it was anything like that.

It was more like this like it was another world.

Well, it’s not productive to dwell on dreams.

We should be more devoted to the productive labor that lies ahead of us.

That’s why we worked hard to raise our level and earn money, with the 7th floor as our main earning place.

We had already conquered the monsters on this floor.

We worked 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, without any problems.

The party income was about 250,000 yen per day.

When I stopped to think about it, I realized it’s a pretty good amount of income.

At this income, the daily allowance for each person is about 25,000 yen, so if we work 22 days a month, our monthly income would be 550,000 yen, or 6.6 million yen a year.

Although it’s not a simple comparison with the salary received from a company, I feel this level of income allows a single person to live a comfortable life.

As for me, who has been accustomed to a life of poverty for a long time, I think it’s more than I can afford.

Is it enough to go out for expensive yakiniku or sushi that doesn’t rotate?

Or, I wonder how much money I need to save to have a family and children.

No, I’m not being frivolous.

Or perhaps it would be more flippant not to think about it.

After all, I have already had a relationship with Kazane-san.

I have to take full responsibility. I’m not sure if I’m being flirtatious or not.

“…… Senpai, you’re smirking. It’s so creepy. What are you thinking?”

“Hey, anything is fine! It has nothing to do with you! ──I mean, Kazane-san! Is it okay for this guy to be like this ‘disgusting’!? I’ll get hurt too!?”

“Daichi-kun, that kind of thing makes you look small. If you’re a boy, you need to be more confident.”

“That’s right, senpai. That’s right. You’re a small person.

“That’s terrible! That’s gender discrimination! I’m going to protest!”

Recently, a women’s league has been formed, and I’m at a disadvantage in this battle.

I mean, Kazane-san has started to talk to me quite frankly.

And so the 5 days of dungeon labor came to an uneventful conclusion.

During this time, each of us level up two or three.

We now have a lot of time to explore the 7th floor.

I plan to head to the 8th floor next week.

Before that, let’s check the equipment purchased this week.
