Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Passing Through the Reward Room

Having emerged from Demon Slayer: Mugen Train like that, we had no time to spare and immediately headed up to the next floor.

[You have entered the 5th Floor, Reward Room.]

The system message that appears after climbing the broken escalator.

"Huh? Reward Room? I guess movies don't play here?"

[Reward items are limited to 2 per person.]

"Wow, are all these items?"

"It seems this was a place displaying movie props."

The party members began looking around the reward room filled with dazzling items with admiring voices. Then, suddenly, Jung Heewon looked at a certain sword and exclaimed.

"Gasp, look at this sword!"

[Mikazuki Munechika - Replica] - A-grade Sword.

She seemed to really like the sword inside the glass case. Jung Heewon, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at the sword, carefully took the sword out of the glass case and drew it from its scabbard.

"Wow... This is amazing? The edge is properly sharp, and it's light!"

"You finally have a proper sword, Heewon-ssi."

"Congratulations."

Jung Heewon, her cheeks slightly flushed as if she really liked the sword, stared blankly at it. Kim Dokja and I congratulated her.

"It's such a shame we can only take two each from this treasure trove."

"Heewon-ssi, please grab an item that Sangah-ssi can use. I'll get something Hyunsung-ssi can use."

"Then what should I do?"

"Yuseong-ssi.... I think you can just pick a suitable, useful item."

I nodded at Kim Dokja's words and began looking around to choose an item.

"Ah, why won't this come out!"

At that sound, I turned my head and saw Lee Jihye straining to pull out an item from the corner of the reward room.

Kim Dokja looked at Lee Jihye straining to pull out a hammer and laughed, then approached her and said.

"Can't only special people use that?"

"Damn it, I'm special too?!"

Lee Jihye raised her voice, seemingly ticked off by Kim Dokja's words. Then, Lee Gilyoung, who had put on a hat-shaped item in the reward room, approached Lee Jihye and reached for the Mjölnir she was straining to pull out.

"Hey, kid! This is my...."

Shloop.

"What?!"

However, unlike Lee Jihye, Lee Gilyoung pulled out Mjölnir with great ease. Lee Jihye looked at Lee Gilyoung and the Mjölnir held lightly in his hand with a dazed expression.

"Hyung, can I take this?"

"Sure, it suits you well."

Lee Jihye once again looked at Jung Heewon's sword and Lee Gilyoung's Mjölnir with a dazed expression.

"Only I'm unlucky… only me..."

I shook my head at the sight of Lee Jihye looking depressed with a dazed expression and began choosing my item.

"Hmm... Aren't there any suitable items to choose?"

This reward room is a place that collects equipment, costumes, and stage props used by protagonists of various movies.

And those items turned into replica items when the theater became a dungeon.

The items here are replicas, but they can really perform well in the early scenarios.

However, for me, who can get better things through the gacha and shop, most replicas are unnecessary.

'Sigh.... What should I choo—This!?'

While looking around for a while, I spotted an item in the corner, was surprised, and checked its information.

Item Information

Name: Ginga Spark

Grade: Relic

Description: One of the two mysterious tools passed down as legend in the Land of Light. Can only be used by the chosen one.

When used by the chosen one, they can become the giant of light, Ultraman Ginga.

'Crazy... why is this here!?'

I was genuinely astonished inwardly and immediately put the Ginga Spark into my inventory.

'By the way, what should I take for the remaining one item?'

As I wondered what to choose for the last remaining item while looking around the reward room, I was able to find one item that wasn't a replica.

Item Information

Name: Night Killer

Grade: B

Description: A dagger hardened and sharpened to cut through knights' armor.

The blade is serrated, making it less likely to slip on armor.

Has the special effect 'Knight Slayer' bestowed upon it.

Knight Slayer: Attacks against heavy armor deal 25% additional damage.

"Good, I'll take this."

Having gathered all our items like that, we immediately went up to the next floor.

[You have entered the 6th Floor.]

Upon entering the 6th floor, we immediately ran toward the 7th floor.

[The screening for this floor will now begin.]

This movie was Brian Sing■'s reversal thriller The Usual Sus■ects... No....

It should have been.

[A special screening is prepared.]

[There are entry conditions for this movie.]

[You have met the entry conditions for this movie.]

[The special screening begins.]

A blue spotlight from somewhere illuminated the party members, while a red spotlight shone only on me.

I and the party members realized something was wrong, but the screening began immediately.

"Ugh... what is this place... again... where is this?"

I immediately became wary and looked around, then felt something strange.

"What? Why are my clothes like this?"

For some reason, my outfit had changed from what I was wearing just moments ago to just ordinary clothes.

"What's... going on..."

[Within this movie, everything except specific skills, traits, and items is sealed.]

[Some skills that do not ruin this worldview's setting are exempt from the seal.]

[This outfit is enforced within this movie.]

[These penalties will be lifted when this movie ends.]

At that message, I urgently tried to use skills or traits and take out items.

[This skill is sealed as it does not match this worldview.]

[This trait is sealed as it does not match this worldview.]

[This item is sealed as it does not match this worldview.]

With almost everything I possessed sealed, the only things I could use were the skills Zadkiel and Haniel, Inventory, Gacha, Shop, ■■'s Wall, Trait: Spirit, Trait: The One Who Draws, Trait: Man of Fortune.

'If Man of Fortune, The One Who Draws, Inventory, Gacha, Shop, ■■'s Wall weren't sealed because they don't ruin this worldview's setting... then why Zadkiel, Haniel, and Trait: Spirit.... Don't tell me!'

I instantly realized what the commonality of these three was.

'Trait: Spirit, Zadkiel, and Haniel are all....'

"You..... who are you?"

"!"

Startled by the voice from behind me, I looked at its owner.

A girl with blonde hair and pink eyes was looking at me.

'This is Maiuri Judgment....'

I looked at Maiuri before my eyes and quickly racked my brain.

'The story of Maiuri Judgment is, until the middle, going on dates with the spirits each day and then fighting Cherubiel at the end... So then.... what point in time is this? What if it's the beginning? First, I need to find a way to clear it....'

"....Date....."

"Huh? What did you say just now?"

"Won't you..... go on a date with me?"

? What kind of talk is this now?

The Reason for Dating Maiuri

Yes~ That's right.
