Experint Start
Even though I told at sothing like, “Leave the rest to ,” it just wound up with getting eaten as usual.
As her Goshujin-sama, I can’t leave her with a bad example!
“… I wonder what I can do~”
I was absorbed in thinking about it while eating onigiri in the dining room. It was a lunch that Kinue-san made. When I bit into one, it had an olette inside.
The heck is she putting in these…? Well, I don’t dislike it though.
Rather, I’ve been thinking how to defeat that wolf… defeat Rin. But I have no clue what’d be effective. I want to investigate a little more first. Alright, let’s start experinting next.
Still, our DP inco exploded upwards with Rin being here. At this point I’m inclining towards wanting to make it a comrade. I can’t sleep quietly because of the uneasy feeling of having that fellow keep staying for a long while though… yep, I want to hurry up and defeat it and turn it into a comrade.
… That guy also hasn’t particularly made any moves against the dungeon core (it’s a dummy one though) huh. It’d be great if we could just get it to promise to keep on not attacking it.
If it turned into a situation of Rin going for the real core in Rokuko’s room, it’d be scary. Like how dangerous it is if a burglar rushes in—well, I don’t think that’ll happen though.
Hmm, I wonder if I should strengthen Rokuko’s room’s security?
Just when I started thinking about that, Gozoh walked into the dining room.
“Oh, Kehma.”
“Hm? Ah, Gozoh. It’s been a while huh. Haven’t seen you in a while.”
“I’ve been spending ti at the bar after all! … I’ve been thinking about accepting that investigation commission, but hey. Want to accept it together?”
“The commission put out from the village? I’m the village chief though.”
Rather, what does he intend to do if sothing happens to the village chief? Well, the bar’s master—the village sub-chief—would just beco the village chief I guess.
“There’s nothing saying you can’t accept a commission you put out yourself. The guild acknowledged the commission, so adventurers can accept it.”
Is that really alright? Couldn’t you just put out tons of commissions without having to actually pay anything and rank up super quickly…? Maybe that’s the thing aristocrat children use to raise their ranks? It seems like they get ranks as nobles if they have a high rank.
“Raising through the ranks like that’s limited at C-Rank though. The guild checks to see whether or not the commission is appropriate, so it can’t be too easy of a commission for the rank. You need a recomndation to get B-Rank or higher, and there’d be no aning if you can’t pass the examination.”
“So it was sothing like that huh… But they can still get C-rank huh.”
“That much is possible from just getting a rare item or sothing; they just pay a large sum of money to get it.”
But C-Rank huh.
Right now this dungeon’s limited to C-Rank, but thinking about being able to buy the privilege of C-Rank and go wherever… that may be good to do, depending on the price. Ah, but there was talk about there being a written test for ranks above C huh. It seems like people that are irregularly strong are exempted though.
“So the commission’s asking for what?”
“Aye, the investigation commission is asking to… investigate whether or not there is the existence of a demon that threatens [Cave of Desires] floors two and three.”
That didn’t answer at all though…
“Whether or not there’s a demon that’ll be a threat huh, so how do we go about looking for it?”
“Human wave tactics. If we can’t find it in a few days, we’ll assu it went back farther inside. By the way, since the transition phase’s investigation is going to be held along with this, the compulsory participation in lookout duty will be waived.”
“Got it, I’ll do it. Can a—… can Kuro and Ichika co along as well?”
Knowing that there won’t be anything showing up makes it seriously hard to get through. Moreover, it’s cold.
It’s troubleso doing work though.
“Aye. I’ll be participating together with Roppu after all. We’ll all get along; it’s been decided that we’ll be separating parties in the labyrinth though.”
“I’d be relieved if Wataru ca too.”
… I’d love sohow being able to throw Wataru at Rin… That guy’s a hero. He wins in the DP departnt. He could use so kind of magic that goes bang! Like Thunder Storm or sothing.
“What are you worried about?”
While sitting down next to , Gozoh put up a flask of alcohol to his mouth and drank so. A product of the dungeon, a high performance flask that provides a heat insulation function. Among other things, you could put hot sake into it.
“Ah, wait… there was those ‘tars’. What do you know about tars?”
“Tars? Those guys that ta monsters? There’s stories that they’re able to communicate with monsters, but are you thinking of switching?”
“Converse huh, no… well, it’s all good. I an, that’s all huh.”
“It’s hard to learn how to speak to a monster! To buy the skill for it, even a single weak monster’s language is ten gold… ah, right. That much is easy for you to take out isn’t it, Kehma? Then isn’t it fine?”
Eh, so there was a skill for monster languages after all? I didn’t check!
Let’s check secretly so that Gozoh doesn’t see… hmmm, nope, not there. I wonder if there’s so condition to unlock it?
“So, what about slis?”
“Sli? Ah, they’re pretty tough, good against blunt attacks. They’re weak to magic though.”
“So they’re like that huh. Another question, I heard sothing about slis normally being trained to take the shape of a wolf or sothing…?”
“Yeah. You can even keep them inside of a cylinder. They’re convenient to carry that way.”
“Heeeh…. Wait, wouldn’t it turn into a magic sword if you put a small cylindrical sli into the sword’s hilt and had it use magic?”
“Hahaha, what d’you think a magic sword it… hmm? Wait, could you? Huh!? W-wait a sec, I need to talk to Kantra!”
With that, Gozoh dashed out of the dining hall, leaving his flask on the counter.
Huh? Why does it feel like I just accidentally gave him a technological breakthrough? Well, it probably won’t be stronger than a magic sword.
Let’s tell at and Ichika about that commission for now.
… Then maybe I should talk to the guild about participating in the commission just to make sure. Gozoh even forgot about his alcohol after all.
Well, the commission to search for the demon that appeared and was nacing the second and third floors was settled, they even gave out maps.
But for them to make such an accurate map… they’ve practically found all of the moving and non-moving walls. It’s good that it finished easily, but maybe I need to alter the labyrinth area’s design? Maybe I’ll change so of the wall and wall golems’ positions?
*
While the village’s stuff is proceeding smoothly, let’s return to the dungeon’s side.
It said sothing about thinking the flavor would be different… maybe I should try seasoning the golem a bit?
Because of that, I made the next haniwa golem with magma in it. Its body’s insides are boiling. Let’s feed this to Rin.
It looked hot enough to turn my hands into charcoal if I’d touched the magma directly, so I had the golem put the magma into the hollowed out area inside of it that I made, paying careful attention so that none would spill.
“Ooi, Rin. It’s lunch ti!”
[Kuaaah! You’re still, alive, after all, Kehma!]
Just as Rin started waking up, I walked in with the ssenger golem with magma in it.
“Now then, eat .”
[… Kehma, is your, head alright? Normally, people don’t want, to be food.]
It’s alright, so please hurry up and eat . The magma’s cooling down.
“Isn’t your stomach getting empty? It is right? Besides, you know I won’t die even if you eat .”
[Ah, well, then, I’ll eat now, but… Kehma, you taste bad.]
“I rembered you say that, so I changed my flavor today. Now then, go on!”
[G-got it. I’ll do it now, so… ti to eat!]
With a snap, I was eaten in one gulp. I looked for its reaction on the monitor, but it didn’t look like it really took any damage.
… Maybe its weak point isn’t magma? I was off the mark huh. Or maybe there just wasn’t enough?
Well, it’s fine. There are still more things to try out.
Next is sulfuric acid, then a strong alkali solution, then various sleeping drugs, there’s gotta be sothing this guy can’t eat and I’ll find it. Whether this guy becos a companion or stays as an enemy, its useful knowing its weak spot.
