Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

" "A gold chest!" "

Two overlapping voices echoed in the field at the sight of two gleaming gold chests.

Of course, the owner of the voices were Lana, and... me.

It would have been three, though, if Hannah had been here.

"Yay, the early bird gets the worm—I mean «Gold Chest»!"

"Hold right there, Zephyr!"

I had dealt the finishing blow to the «General», so obviously I was the closest person to the treasure chest. Heck, the golden shine was right before my eyes. I just needed to forward my hands a bit and I would touch the sparkling beauty.

Unwittingly, a high-pitched voice escaped from my mouth. Lana, since she had been in distance due to her long range attacker role, raised a voice of protest.

She scurried her way to where I was in a hurry. And the magnanimous person I was, I kindly waited for her arrival. I mean, I could imagine the storm that would envelop me later if in an accidental wave of excitement I accidentally flicked open the lid.

In the meantime, I offered my prayer to the «Sachineko-sama». May your heart as gold as gold chest continue to show benevolence upon us, «Sachineko-sama»!

"Drops are almost always something good when you follow Zephyr. I wonder why?"

Sierra stared at the «Gold Chest» with a quizzical expression.

Well, well, because I never forget to serve some offering, prayer, or my gratitude to «Sachineko-sama» after all! Bold of you to assume just having «Luck» skill alone would grant you «Gold Chest»! («—Nonsensical rambling)

"It must be the boon from Zephyr-dono's usual deed."

"......I guess, your words have weight."

See, someone gets me after all! Ester had pinpointed the cause.

"Finally caught up!"

"Hn, I will look."

In a short while, it was not just Lana, even the rest of the members had gathered around the treasure chest.

"Well, there's one «Gold Chest», and the people ready to open are—"

My gaze crossed with Lana.

Karua had already opened the earlier «Silver Chest». So, it means the contest was between Lana and me. However, this was the first «Gold Chest» of the Int-high dungeon. It would be impossible for me to back down here!

Fine, the challenge will be from my side!

"Let's decide the victory through tongue twisters!"

"Bring it on!"

"What's happening......"

"It sure is a peaceful competition."

"Hn."

Was it my imagination that Sierra gave me her usual stern gaze?

Anyway, words smoothly flowed out of my mouth.

"Haa... 'Daunting Dinosaur Dart Down Dungeon Hill, Daunting Dinosaur Dart Down Dungeon Hill, Daunting Dinosaur Dart Down Dungeon Hill.”

"Kuh, y-you sure know how to tackle such things..."

Lana slightly faltered at my tongue-twister. Next was her turn.

"I'm starting them, Daunting Dinosaur Dart Down Dungeon Hill, Daunting Dungeon Darts Down Dungeon Hill, Aunting Dungeon Darts Down the Dinosaur Daily.---How was it?”

"Nuh-uh, you tripped."

"Urgh... fine, it's my loss. I will let you have this chance. But, I am opening the next!"

"Sure."

She must have noticed herself too, as such she quietly sidestepped this time.

As for me, I immediately moved in to open the treasure chest.

"I wonder what it will have?"

"It's the first «Gold Chest» from Int-high dungeon, so I am kinda more nervous than usual."

Taking the position next to me, Lana gazed at the treasure chest with slight curiosity.

Well, I presumed she would be. The Int-high dungeons were basically the last of the top dungeons people of this world had access to, so unless the advanced dungeons become somewhat commonplace, the «Gold Chest» obtained from here were the greatest of treasure. So she was bound to be excited.

Proving my guess correct, even Sierra and Ester were looking at it with slightly more interest than usual. Karua was her usual self.

"Then, I am opening it. O «Sachineko-sama», please give us something good!"

I prayed for the second time, and click, opened the treasure chest. Inside it was—

"This is... «Summon Disk»!?"

"Wow, this is truly a treasure."

A voice of astonishment, and admiration rose from Lana and Ester when they took a look at the drop.

There was a disk shaped lithograph, with its surface written with some abrakadabra patterns, lying inside. It should be around 30 cm in size, making it quite huge.

It was «Monster Dish», as Lana had said, and an essential item to summon monsters. Though the exact category varies depending on the type of «Summon Disk», it allowed users to change the type of monsters they could summon. It was an essential item for the «Summoner», and «Archaeologist», but not strictly limited to them.

Karua and Celia also had summoning skills, but they didn't require an usage of item, though it also fixed the type of beings they could summon.

Anyway, it was akin to a sword or shield for the related jobs, and it could also be obtained from the «Wooden Chest» or «Silver Chest», so Lana and others immediately recognised the item name. It was, however, they’d not seen similar drops from «Gold Chest».

From a wooden chest drop, one could summon upper floor monsters. From the silver chest drop, one could summon bottom floor monsters. If that's the case, then what could be summoned from a «Gold Chest»'s drop? It was—

"This can be used to summon the boss we just fought; a «General Bull-Orc Summoning Disk». The summoned boss's HP will be quite dumbed down however."

"I am sure a boss summon is already an amazing thing."

From «Gold Chest»'s drop, one could summon bosses. Plus, given its rarity, I could bet the lines of «Summoner» who would be ready to pay a humongous sum for this.

However, since it was the «Summon Disk» of a «Rank-8» Boss from Int-high dungeon, the value it held was close to priceless. This had been the second reason behind Lana, Ester, and Sierra's astonishment.

"But it sure has dropped at quite an exquisite timing..."

I know right. Good grief, it seemed like I would have to offer my prayer again with the huge boon this drop was. But should we use it...... no, why am I hesitating? If it's dropped, then it's us for usage!

"So, is it what I think it is, Zephyr-dono?"

"Bingo. It's certainly unexpected that we obtained it at this timing, but I am sure others are waiting for even a bigger surprise. Sierra, what do you say?"

I nodded at the Ester's guess, and turned to Sierra for confirmation. It was the guild's shared property after all.

"Hmm... Well, I will inform Celestine."

"Hurray! I am sure no one would be expecting this wild card!"

With greenlight from Sierra, its usage was settled.

The «Summon Disk» could be used to summon monsters. However, it wasn't as if «Summoners» were the only one capable of using it.

There's one facility in this academy where a monster could be summoned irrespective of the job. The said facility was going to be a perfect testing ground.

"I can't wait to see the colour of astonishment when others realise they're going to face a rank 8 monster among the guardian monsters in interclasses battle starting tomorrow."

The name of the facility was—Arena.

We will be using this «Summon Disk» to defend our base. It would be our trump card.
