Chapter 87.
New items were added to the Hell Grannys store.
For now, one new item is added for each level up, so Tenji couldnt help but fantasize about the 103 items that would eventually be available at the store.
Lets see,..... Its called Speed-Up Demon Lantern. Maybe it temporarily increases speed?
Speed up? Wow, can I have one?
Uh, yeah.
It has already been proven that the effects of the Demon items can be experienced by others. Therefore, if Tenji passes on the item, Chigo could also use it.
Tenji purchased two speed-increasing demon lanterns from the store and summoned them to his palm.
It was a yellow hozuki (Japanese lantern plant).
Chigo picked up one of the demon lanterns with her hand and slowly brought it to Tenjis mouth. Then, without hesitation, she made a noise, Aaahhh!
For a brief mont, Tenji was confused, but he quickly opened his mouth, Its only for Chigo-chan, he said.
Chewing and crunching, Tenji tasted as if he were confirming sothing.
Hmm... a bit like paprika? It might be a little sweeter than the recovery type.
Really? Then too, here I go.
Chigo is not soone who hesitates to try unusual foods or objects.
She is relatively relaxed and imposing. Perhaps that is why she believed Tenjis words and swallowed the yellow Demons lantern without hesitation.
Oh, its true. Thats just a little bit sweet. Is there any change in status?
Hmmm........., sort of, I think.

----------------------
[My speed before eating the lantern was 2025, so... Its probably gone up by around 500. Oh, I should asure the ti.]
Tenji, who had forgotten to asure the effect ti, hurriedly took out his phone and activated the stopwatch.
He stares at the Book of Enma and ti alternately.
Clearly, he was verifying sothing, so Chigo quietly watched him. Occasionally, he would run around to see if he had beco faster.
And since Tenji had beco a little bit faster, Chigo laughed happily.
[TLN: Oh, Chigo, how sweet are you Im simping her.]
Exactly five minutes had passed since Tenji had swallowed the demon lantern.
Oh, it looks like the effect has worn off. Chigo, I understand the detailed effects.
Ohh, really?
Chigo was working her body around. After hearing Tenji, she strolled to Tenjis side, sweating from her neck.
Then she waits for Tenjis next words like a loyal dog.
Yes, the effect lasts exactly 5 minutes and seems to temporarily increase the speed status by 1.25 tis. In my case, it increased by a little over 500. Maybe its similar for you, too, Chigo-chan?
Oh! Just as I expected! I was thinking roughly 1.2x or 1.3x too.
A professional explorer like Chigo knows her own abilities very well.
Thats why, just by moving her body a little, she could instantly asure what her condition was at that mont. However, Chigos sense of this is exceptionally high, so it would be difficult for other general explorers to derive such accurate figures.
It might be easier to use if you eat it before fighting a boss monster or sothing. Or maybe you could wear a stealth pouch around your...... waist to store and eat at any ti during battle.
Oh, that sounds great! Why dont we take the whole day off tomorrow? Ill go to the market on the first level and look for a nice pouch. Or maybe belt-type small storage that wont bother during combat.
Is it okay?......... Then I guess Ill try HellQuest tomorrow.
Yes, Okay, its settled. Tomorrow is my first day off in a long ti.
Of course, with this level up, the Book of Enma also had the Hell Quest added.
Knowing this, Chigo suggested taking tomorrow as a whole day off.
[Alright, Ill warm up lightly today for tomorrows hell quest... After all, Ill probably get shackled again, like in Hell.]
Recalling the hellish experience of being ntally driven into a corner on two separate occasions, Tenji couldnt help but make a face as if biting a bitter bug.
Rembering the experience of being ntally driven to the brink, like in Hell, Tenji involuntarily made a face as if he had just bitten a bitter worm. He made an ugly face.
Chigo, who noticed Tenjis expression, also felt pity for Tenji in her heart as she had heard about Tenjis bitter mories of the hell quest, Ah, I guess you recalled,
She slowly stood next to Tenji and gently patted his head.
-----------------------
The Next Day.
Chigo woke up unusually early and headed to the Central Entrada Pablo, a central street on the first level, after finishing breakfast.
She seed to rember the shopping she had promised with Tenji yesterday and went to the market while stifling a yawn early in the morning.
On the other hand, Tenji was stretching carefully on a small lawn outside the house.
He was stretching his calf and thigh muscles while looking at the page of the hell quest in the Book of Enma.
[Executable Hell Quest]
Quest Na:
[The Challenge from the Red Demon - Level.2]
Condition #1.
25,000 squats
Condition #2.
15 hours of shadowboxing
Destruction of Bronze Bell
[Quest Reward]
Fifth-grade weapon Red Demon Gloves.
The fifth-grade item is the Red Demon Necklace.
[Condition #1 is not a noteworthy change, just five tis more than the previous one....... Well, I guess there will be so hidden conditions like before.]
The first squat Tenji did in the hell quest was 1000 tis, 5000 tis, and now 25000 tis. Its simply five tis more each ti. It will be challenging, but Tenji can always get through it with his never give up spirit.
Tenji read the text of the next condition...
[The shadow boxing ti has increased by 5 hours. Honestly, theres no other way to get through this than with spirit. But..huh ..Destruction of the bronze bell? What does that an?]
No such condition existed before.
Tenji could only speculate that he needed to break a normal bronze bell. For a regular person, breaking a bell with their fist would be impossible. Still, for Tenji, who had developed physical abilities close to 40 tis that of an average person, it did not seem like such a difficult task.
Well, probably not a normal bell, I guess.
He cant help but chuckle dryly.
and then it was ti.
Tengu heard the sound of rustling grass coming from behind.
Laughing to yourself, whats so funny?
The source of the sound was
Oh, Fuyuki-Kun. Good morning.
Good morning. I rang the doorbell, and no one was ho. Is Chigo not ho?
Chigo-chan headed to the market on the first level early this morning.
Oh, really? I was a little late. Yesterday I fought a boss on the 59th floor, and I was too tired to wake up. I failed to wake up... I was thinking about getting so training today.
I think Chigo will find what she needs, buy it and co back soon. Maybe around lunchti?
I guess Ill just wait here then. Theres nothing to do until noon anyway.
With a fresh smile, Fuyuki sat down on a small white wooden swing in the garden and paddled it lazily.
It seems that Fuyuki was also taking the day off today. Tenji was relieved as Fuyuki was always too serious and would usually ask him to train every ti they t. Tenji started preparing for his quest again.
Whats up with you today? Youre putting a lot more effort into your warm-up than usual.
Fuyuki asked Tenji, noticing that Tenjis back was covered in sweat. He was curious as to why Tenji was working out harder than usual.
Oh, I havent told you yet, Fuyuki. Yesterday, I finally leveled up to level 2..
Really! Oh...... thats why you were stretching that hard?
Fuyuki smiled with so satisfaction.
He is one of the people who know more about Tenji, if not as much as Chigo. He can see the status, summoning-type abilities, special calling, the existence of Hell, the ability to buy items at the store, and converting magic ore into points.
He knows about Tenji being able to see the status, about being a summoner, about being a special grade, about the existence of Hell, about buying items at stores, and about converting demon ore into points. Hes not as detailed as Chigo because Tenji roughly explained everything. But after Chigo, Fuyuki was the third person who knew most about Tenjis Hell Beast Summoning.
Im about to go on a hell quest now.
Oh, I rember... isnt it the one with really tough conditions that could kill you? Fuyuki asked with a concerned voice.
Yeah, its really that intense. I might break myself trying.
What are the conditions this ti?
25,000 squats, probably with so heavyweight added. And 15 hours of shadow boxing and breaking a bronze bell.
Wow... Good Luck!!!
Fuyuki said it hesitantly.
Even for Fuyuki, who is a serious training baka, the exercises seed crazy.
