Danmachi: I have a Simulator!

"The magic stones in these low-level monsters are really small. Maybe they can't be called magic stones at all. They should be called magic stone fragments. It feels like a waste of time."

After cutting open Frog Shooter's body, taking out the magic stone fragments inside, and weighing them for a moment, Yami's expression was disgusted.

For adventurers, strength was the most important thing, but making money was also very important. No one wanted to wander in a dungeon full of dangers all their life.

Most adventurers hoped to obtain considerable wealth and live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Of course, Yami was not among them, but he still couldn't ignore money. Whether it was maintaining weapons or purchasing various potions, huge financial support was needed.

But now it seemed that the gains the upper-level monsters could provide were still too little.

"Captain, have you finished testing your new weapon?"

Yami put the magic stone back into the bag. The bag provided by Hephaestus's familia was about to explode. God knows how many monsters Yami had killed.

For ordinary novice adventurers, it was already a considerable number.

"Tch, the test has been completed, but it seems to have failed!"

Tsubaki, who pulled a group of frog shooters aside alone, walked back with a displeased face. From her expression at this time, it could be seen that the development of new weapons did not seem to be going so smoothly.

It could be heard from the previous explosion.

"Don't be too frustrated, Captain. Sum up experience and continue to improve. I believe you will succeed next time."

Yami didn't dare to touch Tsubaki's bad mood at this time. He gently comforted his captain lest the other party do strange things.

Fortunately, he seemed to be thinking too much. Tsubaki was not that fragile.

"I don't need you, a kid, to comfort me. Don't worry. It's just a failure in researching new weapons. It's not a big deal. Anyway, this is not the first time. I have already been mentally prepared."

"However, the shortcomings are almost understood. After I go back and improve it, there should be no problems."

"That's good. Let's get out of here first!"

Having completed the daily dungeon adventure, Yami generally understood his level. Although he had not encountered too powerful monsters, dealing with Lv.1 monsters with all his strength was not a problem, so there was no need to continue killing weak monsters.

Returning to the familia and carrying out the last simulation today is much better. 

"Okay, let's go back!"

Tsubaki nodded, and the two counted the spoils before returning to the surface.

Yami went to the Guild to sell all the magic stones, exchanging them for the Valis needed to live in Orario. The amount could be said to be quite small.

Originally, he wanted to take them back to the blacksmith shop for equipment forging, but Tsubaki stopped him.

The magic stones of the monsters of the upper level were not precious, and the equipment forged with them was not considered excellent. It was completely unnecessary, and it was more convenient to exchange it for money.

At the same time, she also rejected Yami's idea of ​​dividing them equally.

After all, as the leader of the Hephaestus familia, coupled with one of the few excellent blacksmiths in Orario, Tsubaki's assets were far beyond everyone's imagination.

Therefore, Yami no longer insisted.

Back at the blacksmith shop, the receptionist lady named Liz seemed to have gone to rest. At this time, a cat girl with animal ears was guarding the shop. Her furry ears trembled from time to time, and the girl's cheeks were flushed. She looked very cute.

However, Yami was interrupted by Tsubaki before he could observe carefully.

"You, boy, don't think about strange things in your head all day. Your task is to train your ability well and try to level up as soon as possible. Only then will you be worthy of my training for you, and you will not let down Hephaestus-sama's treatment of you."

"Entering the dungeon for the first time, it's time for you to try the taste of becoming stronger. Why don't you ask Hephaestus-sama to update your status now."

"Remember to come to me tomorrow morning. I have something to teach you, don't be late!"

Gently patting Yami's back, Tsubaki turned and left.

But Yami had to say that Tsubaki was very helpful. At least she told him a lot of information that adventurers needed to know and the special features of many monsters.

As a rookie adventurer, he really benefited a lot.

"Should I update my status? It's a little difficult to choose... The increase is a little too fast, and it will definitely attract the attention of Hephaestus-sama. It's not easy to explain, but it's not that bad. At least it can increase my standing in the familia."

"Anyway, it will be exposed sooner or later. Goddess Hephaestus is friendly, and there is nothing to hide. After all, I will be her family in the future, and the 'mother' will not harbor ill intentions towards her children."

Most gods regarded their dependents as their children, and they would only feel happy when they made progress and would not have other bad thoughts.

This was probably the tolerance unique to the gods!

After thinking about this point clearly, Yami didn't hesitate any longer, went straight into the inner room, and walked towards the room of Hephaestus.

When he came to the door, he raised his hand and was about to knock but was interrupted by the roar coming from inside.

"Hestia, how long are you going to be lazy?!!!"
