Settlement
Another month has passed since I cut down the Volcanic Slime King like a demon.
And our level is like this.
I'm Lv.48, Shiro is Lv.60, Ori Hime is Lv.6, and Mina is Lv.53.
Our levels have improved considerably.
So, before I reach Lv.50 and evolve, I decided to go to the 33rd level for revenge.
Also, if I go back to Lv.1, it will be difficult to kill the cockroaches normally.
"It’s boring, nya~. I’m sleepy, nya~. I don’t want to move, nya~"
Mina, who was not willing to do anything, was mumbling.
She doesn't want to move,
[You're just sleeping on Ori Hime's head!]
I would never say that.
If I get involved, she'll just keep mumbling about it.
Yes, it's best not to get involved.
I miss the cute Mina-tan from when she couldn't speak human language.
I wish she could never speak again.
I thought so strongly from the bottom of my heart.
As we continued walking, we arrived at the 33rd floor.
As for the strategy, Shiro and I will be in the vanguard and slash the cockroaches, while Mina will be the healer.
And, for Ori Hime, it will change to Ori Hime Sword and Ori Hime Morningstar.
Well, there's probably no better strategy than this.
After all, there are a lot of cockroaches.
No matter how many you kill, they keep popping up.
It would be faster if we used magic, but last time we ran out of mana and lost.
So, this time the strategy is to attack with physical attacks.
That's why we enter the maze-like 33rd level.
After walking for a while, a large army of cockroaches rushed into the narrow passage like an avalanche.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
"Kyui!"
"Aaah~ I’m sleepy, nya~"
There's only one guy who's not interested in it, but I don't care. If you worry about it, you'll lose.
Ignoring Mina, Shiro and I, who are in the vanguard, greet the bastards.
Slash*! Slash*! Crash*! Crash*! Slash*! Slash*!
My dual-wielding and Shiro's Morningstar attacks are brilliant.
This time, we were able to move forward, albeit little by little.
"Let's keep mapping at this rate!"
"Roger that!"
And 15 minutes later.
"Master! We can't move forward because the cockroach carcass is in the way!"
"That's right."
"What should we do!"
"Please ask Mina to move them away!"
I just said the strategy that came to mind.
"Do you think Mina-san, who’s lazy, would do something like that!"
"Right."
I regret what I said.
"So, what should we do?"
"What should we do? If Mina doesn't move, there's nothing we can do!"
"That's right"
"Withdraw!"
And so, once again, we suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the cockroaches.
ーーー
We are currently planning our future strategy on the 32nd level.
"Master, we have to do something about the cockroach carcasses problem."
Shiro, the moderator, raises the issue.
"That's right... the speed at which we can defeat cockroaches is faster than the speed at which the dungeon absorbs cockroach bodies..."
"Then, how about I stop being the vanguard and put the cockroach carcass in the magic bag?"
"That won’t work! We won’t be able to move forward.
The current situation is that we can finally move forward by attacking together!"
I quickly rejected Shiro's proposal.
"Then we'll have to ask Mina-san to help..."
"That's impossible..."
"We haven’t heard her answer yet, so maybe?
Hey! Mina-san?"
Shiro asks Mina.
"No, nya~. I don’t want to touch insects, nya~"
Mina, who was relaxing on Ori Hime's head, replied in a troublesome manner.
I knew that, but, well, this is what happens
"Then what are we going to do?
If we continue like this, we won't be able to go any lower than the 33rd level!"
"I'll ask Nii."
I answered what I'd been thinking about.
"The guild leader? But those cockroaches can't be defeated by a normal adventurer!"
"Not normally, but if it's an S-class adventurer, it'll be able to handle it!"
"S-class, you mean [Falcon Claw]?
Those people don't seem that strong, do they?"
"No, they are strong. They are the all-stars of this continent, to be frank!
And they know what they are capable of, so they don't do anything stupid like fighting against higher-ranked!"
"Kenji-san, he is just a pervert, though?"
"He's a lolicon and a pervert, but he's definitely skilled with the sword. You could call him a genius.
When I was an adventurer, I was pretty confident in my sword skills, but when I saw him, I realized my lack of talent...''
"Heh... was it that amazing... but I think the current Master is amazing too!"
"Indeed, my sword skills have improved far more than when I was an adventurer.
Perhaps, since I was Japanese in my previous life and had experience in kendo, I was better suited for single-edged Japanese swords than the double-edged swords that are mainstream in this world.
Also, the sealed power of the hero has been released, so my sword skills may even be better than Kenji's!"
While saying that, I pull out my sword from its sheath and take what I think is a cool pose.
"That's right! There's no way Master is worse than the lolicon Kenji!"
"That's right! I'll never lose to Kenji again!"
I made a strong declaration and thrust my sword into the sky.
"Master, don’t you have any sense of rivalry with Kenji-san?"
"Does it look like that?"
"I can see it! As master's number one servant, I can easily see the changes in Master's heart!"
Shiro thrusts her chest forward and puffs out her chest.
It is true that there are many problems between me and Kenji.
It's mostly a matter of the mind.
I can clearly see now that even after I became a skeleton, I still remember Kenji clearly because of that.
So, in order to clear up my past and move forward, I have to face Kenji properly and have a discussion.
