Chapter 30 - I'm going to spend days alone with Lili.

The next day, I grabbed my backpack and went out to buy a new bag. I needed a bag to carry food. Otherwise, I would starve inside the dungeon.

I only had water, a notebook, and a pen in my backpack. Why am I carrying a notebook and a pen? You'll find out when I get to the dungeon. First, let's prepare everything.

I went to a store that sold everything. It's not where I got robbed, but a different store. Fortunately, they sold bags of all sizes: small bags for magic stones and large bags for carrying all kinds of things.

I bought a large bag.

I paid 700 Valis for the large bag. I don't know if it's a fair price, but it didn't seem too expensive considering the quality. After getting my new bag, I transferred my water to it and bought food to put in my backpack.

My backpack is better for storing food since if I put it in the bag I bought, it would bounce around inside and could make a mess, as most of the things I buy are stuffed bread.

Now I have plenty of water, food, and my notebook and pen. I can enter the dungeon.

'Shouldn't I at least sharpen this sword a bit? Its blade is a little damaged.' I've already cut many monsters with it, so the blade is a bit worn. I could use the knife, but I don't want to.

Using a sword is better because of the skill I have.

I want to use a dagger in the future because I think it's "cool" for an assassin to use a dagger. I might sound childish, but it's the weapon I used while playing games. Doing it in real life must be even more awesome.

I went to the nearest blacksmith's shop. The first shop I entered was a small one. The owner wasn't affiliated with any Familia, which surprised me. However, the work he did was excellent.

He sharpened my sword and charged a very low price.

Now, with everything ready, I should head to the dungeon.

Many women started staring at me as soon as I reached the dungeon entrance. Since my appearance has improved, it's understandable. And my skill [Charming Aura] is now at level two.

Women have much more desire to approach me now my skill is at level two. Maybe that's why Lili followed me yesterday.

What will happen when this skill reaches level 10? Will all the women in Orario chase me? I hope there's a way to control this.

But despite many women trying to approach me, I avoided them all. I promised myself I wouldn't get involved with extras and would focus only on the story's characters.

So, when Lili appeared again at the dungeon entrance and followed me inside, I felt excited.

"I plan to spend a few days inside the dungeon. Are you willing to spend that time with me?"

Hearing my question as we entered the first floor, Lili didn't respond but continued to follow me.

We entered the dungeon and quickly reached the 4th floor. I let Lili carry the magic stones and items since she offered to do it. I think it's okay. After yesterday, I'm sure she trusts me and won't do anything stupid.

So, we sat down to eat. I gave Lili food and water. As I expected she might show up, I brought a bit more food and water than necessary.

"This is so good~~" Lili said.

"Don't you eat this often? It's not expensive, you know?"

"No…"

"I see… Well, enjoy the food while I write."

"Write? Are you going to write something?"

"Yes." I had already taken the backpack off my shoulders and placed it beside me. I took the notebook and pen out and opened the notebook to start writing.

"What's that?" She asked while looking at the pen. It was a completely metal pen of high quality. She had never seen a pen like this one.

"It's a pen. Look." I started writing something in the notebook. I wrote random things in English.

"I can't understand this…"

"It's a language that no one in Orario knows. Isn't it different?"

"Such a strange language exists?"

"It's a language spoken in the city where I used to live. A city far from here. We spoke this language and the language you speak here in Orario."

"It's a strange language…" Although she didn't ask about the city I mentioned, Lili seemed very curious.

"I'll write something in your language now."

I wrote something in Japanese. Even though I didn't understand Japanese before coming to this world, I can now write and read Japanese fluently. Ah, and she understands Japanese.

The writing in Danmachi wasn't Japanese but another language. I remember some languages used in the original work… Koine (Greek or something) and Hieroglyphics. I think there are other languages, but I can't remember.

But here, everything is in Japanese. This makes things much easier for my current plan, which is to write. Yes, I plan to write. I talked to Hestia about this but was still deciding if I should do it.

But I realized it's impossible to get rich just from the dungeon. I need to do other things to make money.

And writing is a good way.

Now that I know the universal language here is Japanese and can understand and write it fluently, everything has become easier.

"But what kind of things do you plan to write?" Lili asked, curious.

"I plan to write fantasy stories. I plan to write books to sell. Do you think it's a good idea?"

"Hmmm… I don't know…." Lili averted her gaze and looked at the dungeon wall. "You can try, but I'm not sure if it will work."

"Well, it's just a try. If everything goes wrong, I'll be emotionally hurt for a few days and then move on with my life."

"Hahaha."

"Why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing. But when you finish writing, I want to read it. I'm curious."

"Sure, no problem."

So, I focused on writing.

Using my vivid memories of "Re: Zero", I started using my pen to write in the notebook.
