Ever since I got my magic recorder, it’s been a lot easier for me to explore the cave. With this, I can go exploring alone. If I play it every 200 meters, all the monsters in the area will fall asleep.
Even Char, a Yellow Dragon who is the strongest species, could not resist the magical sound of this flute. Once she fall asleep, even Char won’t wake up for half an hour. As for a normal person, they would sleep for more than an hour.
It’s a really mysterious flute. Even with just the “Twinkle Twinkle Star” tune, everyone will fall asleep.
I wonder what would happen if I played a lullaby with this?
By the way, I came to the cave by myself today. Everyone had their own job, and Char is playing on the beach. With this flute, if she follows me exploring, I’ll only feel sorry for Char so I let her have fun for the day.
While playing the recorder, I walked slowly until I came to Farh Jarg’s shop in Area 2. There are no monsters around the art dealer’s shop. I then took the recorder out of my mouth and opened the door.
“You’ve got a really interesting stuff there huh. I almost fell asleep just hearing it from the distance.”
Farh Jarg groaned when he saw the recorder in my hand.
“Do you know this?”
“It’s the deep-sea flute, right? It’s a magical item that even the Archangel Michal-sama would fall asleep if he heard the sound of the flute.”
“Heh~, you sure know a lot.”
So the official name of this is the deep-sea flute huh.
“I’ve been an art dealer for 200 years after all. I’m very familiar with magic items.”
“Oh? I’ve got to improve my impression of you then.”
Farh Jarg arched his chest slightly.
“It seems that you have finally realized my greatness. Since you’re impressed, I will tell you the origin of that deep-sea flute.”
“Is there a story behind it?”
“Once upon a time, a sea god’s princess fell in love with a human man, who was a beautiful prince on a ship that was wrecked in a storm.”
Mm. There are similar stories in every world.
“But in the end, it’s a love between the sea god’s princess and a human.”
“Their love doesn’t come to fruition and it ended in a heartbreak?”
“That’s right. The prince is unaware of the feelings of the sea god’s princess and ends up marrying a human woman.”
That part is the same as the story I know….
“But what does that story have to do with the deep-sea flute?”
“The traumatized princess cried every day, day and night for so long that she could not sleep. Fearing that the precious princess might die if it continued, the sea god carved this flute out of the shell of a large clam that lived at the bottom of the deep sea. It is said that the princess was finally able to fall asleep when she heard the sound of this flute.”
“There was such a story huh. Thank you for telling me.”
After I thanked him, Farh Jarg immediately had a cunning look on his face.
“Why don’t you exchange the deep-sea flute for the paintings here? You can exchange it for three.”
I slowly scanned the paintings on the wall.
“Almost all of them are fake. This human figure has a weird stain on it, and this painting of the birth of the goddess has no trees.”
“Tch! I really don’t like clever-eyed kids.”
“I’m not going to sell this flute anyway. I’m going to explore Area 2 now.”
“Go! Go quickly. I don’t want to sleep yet.”
Passing by the art dealers’ shop, I entered the hinterland of Area 2. From here, the terrain changes randomly every time we enter. The items that come out also change each time.
I wonder what I can get today though.
As I walked, playing the twinkle twinkle star, I saw three goblins snoring and sleeping on the floor.
I tried not to step on them as I passed by. The good thing about this flute is that even if I make a mistake in the pitch, those around me will still fall asleep.
Oh! Isn’t that a colony of dungeon mushrooms?
And it’s truffle mushrooms, which are said to be even more delicious. I’m sure Lynn will be delighted. I think we can serve this much to the customers who come to the restaurant.
Just to be safe, I decided to play the “Choucho” before harvesting.
So-mi-mi♪ Fa-re-re♪ Do-re-mi-fa-so-so-so♪
I opened my bag and harvested a large amount of truffle mushrooms.
