Danmachi: Dragon Heart System

Chapter 17 - Kaenseki

"Okay, guys! Listen up!" Finn said with a loud but clear voice. "We've arrived here faster with the help of our new member, Silver."

As he said that, they all looked at Silver but he was nowhere to be seen.

They started to search for Silver, though he they have spent a few minutes of searching for him. They are only good at going down the dungeon but they're not that good at finding someone who was nowhere to be seen, not even a clue.

Little did they know, Silver already left even before Finn said his speech.

He walked downstairs, going further below on his own. Even though he knew he was strong, he knew he can't overestimate himself or underestimate the monsters in the lower floor.

Upon setting his foot on 40th floor, he readied himself and carried a black sword. Yes, it was the drop that the Udaeus drops and he get to keep it because he was the one who was at the frontlines, tanking the damage by blocking or redirecting its attack along with Gareth, who was the toughest of them all.

He carried his sword and leaned it in his shoulder, making him look more badass when smiled a little.

He plowed through monsters on 40th floor until 43rd floor. In the next floor, there will be lots of Flame Rock, which has the item he wants. Kaenseki, a drop item that explodes upon exposure on fire, it might com in handy. He also needed money more than his teammates so he decided to go further down to farm crystals. However, it wasn't that easy if you were suddenly surrounded by a couple of them.

He spent an hour reaching every floor on his own, he was escaping most of grouped enemies. As long as they are not more than five, it was still okay for him to fight but he still needed to be careful in this type of dangerous floor.

He reached the 44th floor.

He started to hunt Flame Rocks as they will drop Kaenseki to create explosives. Yes, bombs. Instead of other components, he just needed Kaenseki and he needed to learn smithing as well to create its body.

After a few hours of hunting Flame Rocks, he decided to go back up and he was probably being searched on the whole floor.

While he was going back up, his teammates are at 39th floor, hurrying to find him in the floor.

Somewhere in 39th floor, there were two pretty big tents.

"We can't find him, Captain!" said Cruz.

"Really? Hm... If we can't find him here... There is also a possibility he had gone back up or..." Finn stopped in middle of his sentence.

"Or?" Gareth was on his side.

"Or he might have gone further down." Finn continued.

Riveria heard this and she said, "It's too dangerous to go further down all alone."

"Stop searching for him! He might be already dead!" said Bete.

"Bete!" Gareth just glared at Bete and he shut his mouth up.

Ais was just at the outside of the tent and heard their conversations. She walked away, to the direction to where the stairs was.

When she reached the stairs, she just stared at it as she was 10 meters or more away from it.

Lefiya entered the tent to where Finn, Riveria, Gareth, and Bete are because she was also trying to find someone.

"Um, did any of you know where Ais was?" she asked.

They shook their heads.

Meanwhile, Silver was going back up to 39th floor to take a rest as well as to tell them that he was sorry if he suddenly left without even telling them, especially the Captain. He was also holding a pouch that has many Kaenseki.

Once was seeing the light that was coming from safety floor, he ran upstairs fast. When he got there, he saw Ais looking at him with her poker face.

"Um... Hey. Uh, are they worried about me or something?" he asked directly at Ais while scratching the back of his head.

Ais only nodded.

It is indeed hard to make Ais talk that much.

They walked back to their tent. While on their way, Silver started a conversation.

"You know, you are too quiet for a girl." he said

Ais only looked at him.

"I know that you are not the type of person who talks that much but... Nevermind!" he said and stopped.

When she saw him stopped, she also stopped and looked at him in confusion, though she only tilted her head.

Silver was holding a pouch that was holding all of the Kaenseki he got from over 20 of them, he only got at least 12. He opened and showed what's inside the pouch to Ais.

As he pulled one Kaenseki out, a shout can be heard, a familiar voice.

"Hey, Ais! I've been looking for you!" it was Lefiya.

Once Lefiya reached Ais, she notice Silver with her.

"Oh, right! Mr. Silver, they have been looking for you!" she said.

Silver put the Kaenseki back in the pouch and followed them to the tents they have set up.

When Silver, Ais, and Lefiya arrived, they saw their Captain, Finn. He seemed to be angry, he's probably angry at Silver.

"Silver... " Finn looked at him with a serious tone.

"I know... Sorry, I shouldn't have acted on my own, I shouldn't go too far from my teammates, I should have told you and ask for your permission before leaving if you allowed me to." Silver said and released a sigh.

"Alright, I'll forgive you. We should go back up, we have wasted our time." Finn said and then asked Silver, "Did you get anything useful when you got there?"

"Um, well... I hunted Flame Rocks for Kaenseki. I hunted at least 20 of them but I only got a dozen." he replied and showed his pouch full of Kaenseki.

It is not just one pouch, but two. This pouches he bought from the system have a spacial storage inside and can store anything, even liquids. The pouch itself is water proof.

Soon, they have returned back up and exchanged the crystal they got from their exploration. Silver didn't sell his Kaenseki, of course. Kaenseki's are the drop item Silver got on his OWN.

Once they have exchanged all the crystals into Valis, they started to split the money base on each person. While they split the money for each member, Silver approached Finn.

"Captain, sir. Can I leave now?" he asked.

"Why do you want to leave already? Don't you want money?" Finn asked.

"Well, it's not that I don't want money but I have to go somewhere." he answered.

"Okay, you can leave now." Finn said.

Silver bid a goodbye to Finn and he walked somewhere. He walked to the Tavern.

He ordered lots of food, making Mia happy seeing him ordering lots of expensive food they have.

Silver was now Mia's favorite customer as he spent much more money than the last time. The waitresses there are quite strong because they can carry a big steak of beef- Oh, wait, they are indeed strong as they were once an Adventurers, except Syr.
