Chapter : The True Identity of the Boss We Defeated
“Ooh! We did it!!”
“We actually took down the Dullahan!”
Cheers erupted from the branch manager and the others.
As soon as the Dullahan was defeated, a magic circle at the very back of the room began to glow.
We hadn’t even noticed it was there before, since it hadn’t been lit.
On the floor lay the sword the Dullahan had been wielding moments ago—
and a single treasure chest.
Misuzu-san’s eyes immediately locked onto the chest like a predator spotting prey.
I asked Anemone to check for traps first.
While she was doing that, I turned to Misuzu-san.
“Could you appraise the sword for me?”
“Got it!” she said brightly and began her analysis.
“This is a Flame Sword. If you pour magic into it, it activates fire magic. It’s equivalent to an S-rank weapon!”
The branch manager, overhearing, whistled.
“That’s an incredible weapon. If you sold it, you’d have to take it to auction. It’d fetch a fortune.”
But… I wasn’t sure I wanted to sell it.
If I still only had the Spirit User job, I probably would have.
But when I got the Hero job, I also gained swordsmanship skills.
There might come a time when I’d need to wield a sword other than the Holy Sword.
And once I sold it, it wouldn’t come back.
I wasn’t strapped for cash right now anyway.
I’d hold onto it—
and talk it over with Misuzu-san later.
Just as I was thinking that—
♪ Pan-paka-paan! ♪
A triumphant fanfare blared out of nowhere.
《Hidden Boss of the Dungeon Confirmed Defeated》
《Awarding Clear Bonus and First-Time Bonus to the Defeaters》
Wait… that Dullahan was the hidden boss?!
Hidden boss… so there was one of those, huh?
I’d have to ask the branch manager what that meant later.
As I was pondering this, light particles began to gather before me.
When the light cleared, a grid of cards floated in the air.
Four across, thirteen down—
a total of fifty-two cards.
They looked just like a deck of playing cards, minus the joker.
I glanced over and saw the same thing floating in front of Misuzu-san.
《Please Select One Card》
A mechanical voice echoed inside my head.
There was no point overthinking it.
This was just luck of the draw.
I reached out and picked the easiest card to grab—the one right in front of me.
The moment I touched it, the other cards scattered into light and vanished.
Probably a summoning card…
but for what?
I flipped it over.
It showed several armored knights.
I’d have Misuzu-san appraise it later.
But when I turned to her—
She was frozen in place, staring at her own card.
“What’s wrong?”
Did she draw something strange?
Worried, I peeked at the card she was holding.
Four figures were depicted on it:
—A rugged, silver-haired man.
—A stunning woman in a maid uniform.
—A handsome knight in full armor.
—And a handsome man wearing a chef’s hat.
“Misuzu-san? Hey, Misuzu-san!” I called out.
Her head slowly turned toward me.
“Takaya-san… this is bad. Really bad. What should we do?!”
She looked completely shaken.
