Ch.132 Spring, Wishes, and... A Blonde Little Girl

I was exploring a really nice spring.

...But guess what...there's nothing here...

I was disappointed.

I was very disappointed.

I feel depressed.

What can I do about this feeling?

I'm now in the middle of healing my depressed heart.

...Certainly, this is a basic dungeon recommended for beginners to intermediate players.

The time when all the treasure chests in the dungeons were reset is long gone.

I'm sure it'll stay like this for another 2 months or so.

When the timer restarts, someone who got there first would...

A~ah, my hope's gone.

Disappointed and tired, I sat down on a rock near the spring and just sat here for a while.

...The very obvious fact that I have to walk up from here is a bit of a blow.

Well, with the amount I earn, I don't have the courage to go diving and use wristbands worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of yen per use...and the price changes depending on whether it's an emergency or not...

Yeah, even though I'm an intermediate level player, it's still just a part-time job on the side.

The life of an untalented person is always tough.

"... Gulp."

Alcohol for dungeon diving...the kind of bent metal or glass bottles you see in movies, I'm drinking some of those.

Ahh.

Ahh.

Okay.

The alcohol cheered me up a bit.

Well, today went smoothly and I earned some pocket money as usual, so I'll just call it a day and go home.

I'm catching the train right on time, so even if I get home now I still have about three hours before I can go to sleep.

What should I do today?

Feeling better, I stood up and slapped my butt...

"……………………………………"

Still, it's such a beautiful spring.

Unlike the disappointing springs you see at tourist spots, this one is beautiful with a cave-like ceiling that is somehow filled with beautiful light.

Well, I didn't drink the water from it, of course.

Well, it's probably drinkable, but I'm afraid I'll have to boil it...

But, doing nothing here would be a little bit... That's right.

I suddenly remembered, "Come to think of it, I haven't been to the local shrine recently."

Since I'm here, I might as well say a prayer.

It's a dungeon with a world view similar to that of a game, so there might even be a spring where wishes come true, just like in the game.

...Well, I don't think this one would though.

If there was such a thing, everyone in the world would be flocking to dungeons right now.

But, a wish...a wish, huh.

I wonder if there's something I want.

...If you think your wishes will suddenly come true, they won't come right away.

It's not that I'm selfless, but I'm just a small-minded person who is satisfied with my current status quo.

And even if it does come true, it probably won't be anything big.

A modest wish would be just right.

A wish that is appropriate for my own abilities.

"...I wish my myopia and astigmatism will be cured. ...also, I wish my hangover will be less severe."

I said this because I thought of it when my glasses were fogging up under my goggles and remembered how I had a hard time at work the other day after drinking too much.

"……………………………………"

...There's no sign of it coming true.

Of course.

If so, just say what you want to say.

Everyone in shady business books is talking about "something about attraction."

It's a bit fishy, ​​but it's so dreamy that you can't help but read those kinds of stories.

"I wish I get a little stronger. I wish my face becomes a little more... well-proportioned. I wish I'm popular with girls... Nevermind, that one would be too much trouble so I'll just cancel that."

That's dangerous.

My face is so ordinary that it leaves little impression, but I feel like a girl who is drawn to me with such a wish is no good.

Somehow.

"...A life that is just about work is sad, so I wish I can live doing what I love... but maybe that's a bit too general."

Suddenly I remembered and reached for the camera on my helmet.

...Good, it's not being streamed.

Or, even if I'm streaming, the screen and audio are turned off.

I normally don't speak, so if I suddenly started spouting selfish things like I was throwing coins at a shrine in a place like this, everyone would be surprised.

Even the 10 weird people who usually come to see me would probably run away.

"And then I wish my level and skills improve so that I can make a living just by conquering dungeons."

"To live a happy life where I can just dive in whenever I want, read a book, and drink alcohol... This is more and more like visiting a shrine."

I'm starting to not really understand anymore.

Treating a dungeon like a shrine.

I'm starting to feel dizzy too.

"Well, I want to live a nice slow life, so I wish I can live a relaxed life. Okay, that's all."

Phew.

I can't think of anything else, so I guess these are my wishes for now.

It's so ordinary... I wish I had a grander wish or something.

But that's okay, as long as I can enjoy books and alcohols every day.

Let's go home.

I pick up my equipment with a clatter and head up the stairs, my feet starting to tingle.

...Just because holiday is starting tomorrow... Oh, I've been diving for three hours already.

Eh?

Did an hour pass by when I made those wishes?

"……………………………………"

...I'm sure I'm just tired.

Yeah.

My body is starting to feel heavy.

Now that I'm 25, the later it gets, the more tired I get.

I'll just go home quickly and go to sleep, ruining my precious holiday...

◇◆◇

【・・・】

After "he" left.

"Something" there analyzed "his" voice.

【Analyzing】

【Deciphering】

【Understanding】

【Reunion】

【Joy】

【♪】

The sprinf... the entire floor began to glow in rainbow colors.

And that power is――――――

◇◆◇

And then the next morning.

I remember staying up late thinking, "Friday nights are the best."

So I drink alcohol as usual, stopping at a good point, brush my teeth, and even remembering a meme.

In other words, it was business as usual.

As usual, I went dungeon diving after work and then had a drink in the evening.

That's what was supposed to happen.

"………………Eh?"

An unfamiliar voice.

A young voice.

A girl's voice.

That's what's coming out of my mouth.

In front of the mirror was a blonde girl.

More like a little girl than a girl.

Because she has long hair but no boobs.

And my pants and underwear had come off when I woke up, and my shirt turned baggy.

In other words, a young girl in just a shirt.

She's standing in front of the mirror, looking surprised.

...Am I getting smaller?

Why?

Although I was surprised, no matter how I thought about it, there's no way that a young blonde girl would suddenly appear in the house of a man who lived alone, and even when I paid attention to my five senses, there's no sign that I got so drunk that I had gone crazy.

My body moved exactly as I moved, and the blonde girl in front of the mirror moved in the same way, and because I'd just taken off my clothes, my crotch was itchy...wait, my crotch?

The appearance is certainly a young girl, but...can it really be?

I hesitated for a moment, but then I flipped up the hem of my shirt...it reached down to my thighs so it was like a skirt.

"……………………………………"

……Not there.

The thing that's supposed to be hanging there is not there.

"It's smooth."

It was smooth.

It's pretty amazing.

"……………………………………"

I feel like I've done something wrong, so I quickly pull the hem back.

But the fact that I'm not wearing anything underneath remains unchanged.

But, it's more than that.

"...I've become not just a girl...but a child at that...?"

A ridiculous fact had shocked me.
