The Earth-san Has Leveled Up! - Volume 2 Chapter 14.1
Fashion Show
The Katsuobushi room was a tatami room, about 12 tatami mats in size.
There was a folding table in the center of the room and a futon in the closet.
The view from the window was of a sea of clouds, a bridge with a red parapet, and a spectacular spot for viewing cherry blossoms.
The room was small but nice.
The inn also had a hot spring, which apparently guests who rented a room for a party could enter.
500 guineas per person for this…I don’t know if this was expensive or cheap, since it was not in Japanese yen.
In addition, a meal ticket was included for guests of this rank.
According to the pamphlet, there were three types of food: ingredients, preserved food, and cooked food.
We entered the room, unloaded, and completed the various synthetic enhancements first.
Meiko and the others had decided to rest at the inn for an hour, so they reduced their magical power by strengthening synthesis as much as they could recover in an hour or so.
While Meiko worked, the two quickly looked at the pamphlet and took note of the number of pages.
After consuming some magic power, Meiko also looked at the pamphlet while lying down with them.
The lineup sold at the Infinite Torii dungeon’s all-you-can-eat shop looked like this.

For consumables, the prices went up in order of ingredients, preserved food, and ready-to-eat items.
Miscellaneous items were things that would be useful to have, such as paper, pens, rope, and things like lighters.
Low-grade recovery medicine were pills that could heal moderate damage, such as lacerations reaching the bones and minor internal organ damage. They could also relieve fatigue.
Intermediate level restoratives were pills that could heal serious injuries such as broken bones and damage to internal organs. It could also heal fatigue and minor ailments.
Abnormal Condition Recovery Medicine were pills that could cure poison and paralysis up to medium severity. Meiko and the others were not sure about the medium severity of poisons and the like.
These pills were packaged with four pills in each case.
There was a cautionary note in the instructions about the recovery pills.
The pills consumed the user’s magic power to exert their effects. The amount of magic consumed depends on the severity of the wound. The fact that it reduced magical power means that it may not be something that could be used casually during a battle.
The dungeon beginner level equipment were weapons and armor that appeared to be “0/125” in Meiko’s appraisal for synthesis.
There were not that many weapons, but there were a surprising number of armors.
The effects of the equipment were very similar, but the designs were considerably varied.
Therefore, the booklet included many pages for weapons and armor.
Both weapons and armor were made in a Japanese style, with an image of spring.
Skill accessories included rings and bracelets, with names such as “Bracelet of Muscle Strength” that were easy to understand.
The magic stone case was interesting, as it could hold up to 10 kg of magic stones.
The weight of the magic stone case itself could hardly be felt.
It was to be worn on a belt, and had the shape of a dagger sheath that was slightly rounder.
Meiko suggested to the two girls that they should definitely buy one.
***
There were three girls present.
They were serious about selecting their protective gear.
None of them were willing to compromise.
The money was temporarily split up, but since the three of them shared a common destiny, they decided to put all of their money together.
The girls spend a long time shopping.
Even clothes that all seemed identical to what boys would wear, would look different when worn by girls.
In fact, genetically, women often had a better sense of color, so they had a wider range of choices than men.
As a result, realizing that the cost was not enough, the three of them bought weapons for Ruru and Meiko for now.
Meiko bought a fire grimoire and a saber.
Meiko had a saber at home, but it was useless if she was not in possession of it now, so she had to buy one.
Ruru bought a ninja sword.
Ruru’s main equipment was a sickle, so she wanted to have something a little more decent.
It was suspected that the ninja swords were fictional, but they were sold in the shop normally.
Next, they bought a low-grade recovery medicine, an intermediate grade recovery medicine, and a case of magic stones.
Around 9,630 guineas remained.
The magic stone case was attached to Meiko’s waist.
After shopping, it was time to go hunting.
It was only 4:00 p.m., so there were still two hours left to hunt.
Rather, since they took a break a little after 3:00 p.m., they had no other choice but to go outside, since they would be kicked out at 3:00 a.m. the next day if they stayed in the safety zone.
Before that, Meiko asked the Cat Fairy a question.
“Cat-san, do enemies change at night?”
“You’re a fellow with many questions, Meiko. If you weren’t my first customer, I’d be charging you money.”
“Cat-san, don’t say that! Come on, Ruru, Sasara, smile for him.”
“Eh!?”
“Nufufu!”
“Nyafu!”
Meiko uttered the line she had wanted to say only once in her life, and Sasara was bewildered by her absurdity, Ruru laughed innocently, not quite understanding, and Meiko herself giggled.
“Niya is a cat, so human females are a bit… cute if it feels like I am looking at a pet, but Nya?”
However, when the Cat Fairy said no thank you.
Meiko’s smile stiffened.
