Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

‹Princess Knight› Aegis

‹Racc-Shell› Lacritta.

‹Magic Swordsman› Sachi.

‹Magic Companion› Emi

‹Magic Archer› Yuuka

‹Collector› Nico.

‹Seeker› Kairi.

A total of 8 sub-member had introduced themselves so far. Two more to go.

One of the two stood up from their seat before long.

"It's finally my turn!"

The person that said it was...another loli. I seriously wondered if this guild is cursed by loli-magnet yokai. Ahem, but let me rephrase myself. She was a loli, but not a loli in essence. That physical appearance of this member was in fact the characteristic of her race.

"The name's Alulu, from the ‹Dwarf› race. I may look like a little girl but this is the normal physique for us so it would be great if ya all just treat me as a normal girl. I am from Blacksmithing Department Class 1-1›, and my job is ‹Tri-Element Dwarf›. As you can guess, this is a production line job that hardly can handle fighting. I might not be able to support everyone in the dungeon but you can be rest assured about weapons manufacturing, strengthening and maintenance."

‹Dwarf› race.

Following the plethora of demands that swamped the ‹Dungeon Activity› game, they also made their appearance in it of course.

The physical characteristics of the dwarves mostly followed the same trend from the one you could typically find in light novels. For someone of student status, Male characters had a tacky beard, brown skin, short stature and plump. A better analogy would be miniaturized sumo wrestlers.

Female characters weren't any different as they also had short stature and brown skin—except the beard of course. Let alone Hannah or Mert, they were even shorter than Lulu. Females of the dwarf race generally carry a small hammer or hammer accessories as their race symbol.

Why do only females carry them? Because, despite their other physical characteristics, they were no different from humans in appearance and it was easier to mistake them as loli ‹Elf› as well due to their slightly pointed ears. Hence the reason.

Aruru had red hair done in a pigtail hairstyle and put in one place with blue ribbons. Much like her hair, her big, clear eyes were of the red shade.

Speaking of her, she was the only one dressed in her equipment among everyone present. It was a sleeveless attire, generously exposing the skin of her arm and legs.

I guess that's what she wears while working, eh? I bet this dresscode would have invited all sorts of fine in an otherwise case, but the existence of HP in this world tanks it all.

She had goggles over her head to protect her eyes, along with a utility belt strapped to her waist that carried her tools. She was the spitting image—I mean, a true blacksmith.

Humans also had blacksmith jobs but that was limited to just one type and to rub salt in wounds, it was also a mid-ranking job that was far from in line with dwarven blacksmiths.

This was why, ‹Dwarf› race characters were always the get-to-go option when looking for ‹Blacksmith› category production job by the players.

Alulu's ‹Tri-Element Dwarf› was one of the top-ranking jobs available for the dwarf category, and it was possible to make it viable for both combat and production fronts depending on which training they opt for. In the combat route, the job was a hybrid of magic and physical attacks that could quite splendidly pull the role of tank as well. As the master in fire and thunder attack, this made them quite strong.

Alulu, however, had opted out for the production route—blacksmithing. This route provided a huge correction and bonus number to the metal equipment created using fire. No, not just huge, it was indisputably the best in the category. So I had always wanted one in the guild by any means,

I was ready to look for a ‹Dwarf› with sufficient skill if I couldn't get anyone and propose a plan for ‹Job Transfer›. So imagine my surprise when Alulu joined us with just a nod. Of course, led by curiosity, I tried to ask her and another surprise, she was from the same place as Marie-senpai, and even more so shared a sister-like bond with her. No wonder their tone was practically on the same wavelength. And their appearance too——cough, cough, right. Marie-snepai is human. It doesn't matter here.

Anyway, our scout Misato was introduced to her through the good word of Marie-senpai and that's how we landed on this opportunity. Thank you very much, Marie-senpai!

The reason that led to accepting blacksmith Alulu was the circumstance surrounding ‹Eden›. It was just a matter of time until we set foot in the advanced dungeons. In the game, you just need to visit the stores or production guild in the C-street to get the equipment etc ready. But known to everyone and their mother was that it was impossible in reality when none had properly ventured into the advanced dungeons, which meant there was practically no one capable of producing the item of that rank.

But above all, only the high-ranking jobs could manufacture the advanced dungeon equipment or item through recipes. It was impossible for anyone below to fiddle with the materials of the advanced dungeon. To be more precise, they could put the material in use that would degrade the end equipment, which means its abilities would be significantly lowered as well and honestly not that much stronger compared to the top range of equipment we have now. And if you mishandled the materials, then you can kiss them goodbyes.

Don't want to lose the materials? Get them to the advanced production job holder. This was the norm in the game.

Well, that was almost impossible in this world where int-high dungeons were the highest peak and advanced jobs were scarcer than water in a desert. And a production job? Good luck searching for them.

In the end, that means we might need to train an advanced production job member by ourselves. Wait, not even might, this was definitely the only way.

I was seriously worried when I reached that conclusion and hurriedly tasked Misato to look for a ‹Dwarf›. Wait for the hot deal of materials, Marie-senpai! A present for my esteemed senpai was a must!

Speaking of Aruru, she was the member of c-rank guild ‹Dwarf Gathering› which was comparable to ‹Emblem Seal Sticker› in every means. Aruru herself was a much-anticipated rookie for them and she was a knocker in the eyes of dwarves to add further, so I was ready to pull in some string and use this and that method to pull her to our side. However I didn't need to do that much as Aruru easily switched the party, quoting 'Bearded highschool students are a bit out of my interest zone'. I really didn't expect to hear that from a dwarven girl, quite a bold character she was, isn't she? But Amen to the bearded boys, whose heart was shattered into pieces due to that.

Incidentally, I also don't know what came in her strike zone. I mean, I did think of asking her but my 'Intuition' suddenly rang a series of alarms on my side. I don't know why my 'Intuition' flared up so suddenly till this date.

Once Aruru finished introducing herself, I supplement the details from side,

"She is among the finest ‹Blacksmiths› who garnered high expectations from the ‹Dwarf Gathering› guild. Well, now that she is in our guild, I want to quickly get her a ‹Advanced Job Ascention Ticket› and her to upgrade job. She has just what we need in our ‹Eden›, and I am confident she can create the best equipment that will become a lifeline for us in our further journey. I still wonder why such an excellent talent decided to join the sub-guild."

"Fufufu, you're going to make me blush with your praises. Well, the reason is very simple, though. I often heard from Marie-onee that Zephyr onii-san—er, ‹Eden› is the never ending trove of materials. And as a blacksmith, what else could I ask for with that much all sorts of material to play with, no?"

"Ah, that makes sense."

I guess I was putting the cart before the horse. It really doesn't matter if it was a sub-guild or parent guild for her when all that matters was if we were capable of providing her materials—which we fortunately would never lose.

Well, our 9th sub-member ended up being a production job holder. Wait, more like, she was the only one with a production job holder in the guild. I should look to increase their number later.

Ahem, now to our last member, who is also the sole male in the ‹Arc-Arcadia›.

T/N - Caught up in some other work, will update the next chapter as promised in a few hours.
