Earth With Dungeon: Saving the World With an Economic Boom

.

And with that, I acquired the sensing ability and tested whether I could infuse Aura into my familiar.
The result of that experiment is this.
I could accurately sense Karin climbing up the building wall, so I’m delighted.
Now I can counter espionage.

“Nugugugu.
Did you gain some new power, Sakimori-nyan?”

“By touching a dungeon core?”

I answered while keeping a smirk on my face.
The news must have spread by now.
As I suggested, Karin trembled and seemed flustered.
She’s an honest spy who can’t lie.
It must be because she’s young.
Well, it’s probably just a diversion, and I don’t know where the real spies are, but I’ll find them soon enough.

Having given up, Karin sighs and slipped out of the shadow tiger’s grasp.
She easily escaped, indicating that her skills are superior to Mike’s.
Tch, I still can’t relax.

“That’s right, nya.
Dungeon cores can give you skill level-up potions and new skills-nyan.
You managed to monopolize the dungeon cores by conquering the dungeon alone, didn’t you-nyaa? I’m quite envious-nya.”

Her words, devoid of any implications, made it clear that the inner town wasn’t aware of the drawbacks.
Sakimori saw through it and glanced at Shizuku, but she was busily crawling in the sky and ignored me.
Shizuku’s source of information is not from the inner town.

And it’s clear that the inner town either doesn’t know about the drawbacks or hasn’t thought deeply about them.
If they knew about the drawbacks.
They would have told those who could conquer dungeons like Karin.

It’s not necessary to hide the information from those who know that they can receive skills and items from dungeon cores.
It would be troublesome if elite adventurers received terrible skills and ended up useless.
They probably just overlook the fact that they happened to get terrible skills.
I think that possibility is quite high.

“So, I acquired the skill called [Aura].
Do you know the details of this skill?”

I casually asked, trying to appear nonchalant, and received a surprising answer.

“[Aura]? That’s a disappointing skill, nyaa.
I’m sorry for you, Sakimori-nyaa.”

With meowing sounds, she expressed her sympathy for drawing a bad skill.
I exhaled lightly, trying not to show my surprise, and crossed my arms with a bored look.

“What do you mean by ‘disappointing’? You make it sound so regrettable.”

“[Aura] is the power converted from mana.
It can greatly enhance martial techniques, increase physical attacks, and boost physical abilities-nya.
It’s a useful skill for front-line fighters.
However, the conversion efficiency from mana to aura is low.
After using it about three times, your mana will be depleted, so it’s useless for a magic user like you, Sakimori-nyaa.
Only those who remember it use it as a trump card-nyaa.”

“Oh, I see.
That’s a shame.
It must be hot, so come inside.”

Shouldering her disappointment, I returned home, but deep down, I was astonished by the specifications of Aura.

After all, I can use it like a normal skill.
Minor techniques consume only single-digit amounts of mana, and even major techniques consume a maximum of 50 mana.
[Maximum Conversion Efficiency].
I understood why Shizuku desired this skill.
