“It doesn’t quite fit… but I suppose it’ll do.”
“You should be grateful he even prepared a change of clothes for you, muscle-brain. Show some appreciation to Daishi-san.”
Having successfully cleared the “Host-Addict Room,” our party proceeded toward the next floor.
Shion-san, who had gone on a spectacular rampage earlier, was completely drenched in monster blood. With no spare equipment available, I rummaged through my Item Box again, and managed to find armor she could technically wear.
In a sense, it is an armor. At least in terms of category. But its protective coverage was extremely limited. It only covered the most important areas for a woman, along with her shoulders, arms, and legs. The material looked solid enough—but frankly, it looked like nothing more than a bikini. It was hard to tell whether it actually had any defensive value at all.
> Isn’t that bikini armor?
> It suits her tanned skin well.
> The fact that it doesn’t fit properly is actually a good thing.
> No sword?
> Mina-chan isn’t covered in blood now.
> After all, she brutally murdered them lol
> In the end, your level didn’t go up?
> I don’t really understand the experience point system.
> I wonder what floor the next one will be.
> The old man Nether King said the hero has set a trap.
> Since he is the dungeon master here, I hope the Nether King will do a good job.
> Let’s proceed cautiously.
> You should be able to see through the trap with [Clairvoyance].
As the viewers said. Anyway, the first thing to do is to use [Clairvoyance] to see the structure of the dungeon before entering the room.
Oh, speaking of [Clairvoyance]…
I don’t think I’ve seen Shion-san’s status yet. I saw Mina-chan’s status when I met her before, so I vaguely remember her abilities. It’s a good idea to get a grasp of your allies’ stats early on.
Now’s the chance, while they’re engaged in their sarcastic banter.
I’ll sneak a peek.
Hey! The table of contents is a little easier to read, but it’s still a pain to use. I wish it will revert to the previous display.
…Ah!
I was scrolling down the screen and there’s a tiny button at the very bottom to view it in the previous format!
What the heck? If there’s something like that, they should put it at the top.
This system is a bit inconvenient in places.
Oh well. Anyway, let’s try looking at Shion-san’s status in the simplified display.
| Name: Kusakabe Shion Class: Berserker Level: 82 HP: 746/977 MP: 49/100 Strength: 959 Endurance: 811 Agility: 309 Intelligence: 527 Magic Power: 266 Skills: [Pull Out (LV1)] [Splatter (LV3)] [Bite (LV3)] [Crush (LV4)] [Twist and Crush (LV4)] [Tear Apart (LV5)] [Smash (LV5)] ▼ Titles [SS-Rank Explorer] [Legendary Dismantler] [Conqueror of the Deep Sea] Previous Life Wife of Executioner Mixer |
Shion-san… you are seriously a dangerous person.
That level of brutality in your skills is completely maxed out.
What even is “pull out” as a technique? It’s terrifying just hearing it. If anything, isn’t she more dangerous than a nether knight?
A berserker like that…
And her past life makes even less sense—something like an “otaku club princess” or whatever.
“A saint wouldn’t shove a cross up someone’s ass.”
“Hey, that was an accident! And you were the one rampaging everywhere!”
“I am simply operating under my nature. You, however, claim to be a saint.”
“I am a saint! Not self-proclaimed!”
“…You’re a priest though.”
I couldn’t help but jump into their conversation with a sigh.
Yeah… just as expected of Satsuki’s friend.
Despite her elegant appearance, her personality was… well, as you can imagine.
“…Enough fooling around. We’re here.”
“…The old man from earlier… he’s not going to show up again, right?”
We had finished descending the spiral staircase and arrived in front of the door to the second floor of the dungeon. The lighthearted mood between the two vanished instantly, replaced with sharp tension.
By the way, the reason they were shaken on the first floor wasn’t my fart. Apparently, they were simply terrified of the old man—the Nether King.
Scared of some shriveled old geezer… Honestly, kind of cute in their own way. Both of them.
“It’s fine! I’ve got your backs.”
I puffed out my chest.
Just stick with me like you’re riding a big sturdy ship. That alone is reassuring enough. So make sure you both follow me to the end. Thank you!
“Alright… I’m opening it…”
Stepping in front of the slightly hesitant two, I pushed open the door to the second floor of the Nether-class dungeon.
I had to stay sharp. We still had no idea where the Hero’s traps might be hidden.
Come on, Daishi—activate Clairvoyance the moment the door opens. Analyze the structure, expose the traps, and speedrun Floor 2!
Creeeeak…
“Clairvoyance!”
The rusted, groaning metal door swung open, and I immediately activated Clairvoyance. I had to commend myself for actually listening to the viewers’ advice right away.
Now then, what will I see—
“Daishi-san! Dodge it!”
“Eh?”
GAGAGAGAGAGAGAK!!
“Wha—whoa! Th-that was close…!”
Mina-chan’s warning saved my life.
If she hadn’t shouted, I probably would’ve been dead on the spot. My reflexively turning around at her voice worked in my favor.
There, embedded in the wall behind me, was a massive arrow. Cracks spidered outward from the impact point, scattering debris across a wide area. I never expected a trap to trigger the moment the dungeon opened.
And that level of destructive power?! This wasn’t just a trap—it was way beyond that.
“Stay alert! It’s coming!”
“Even Clairvoyance won’t have time to work in Floor 2 of Nether-class?!”
Shion-san’s voice snapped me back to reality.
I quickly turned forward again and braced myself for combat—
“!!”
But by the time I did—The second volley was already right in front of my eyes.
