Lets Handle The Nakasatsunai Dungeon Request! 3

Haruki headed for the 9th floors boss with his bag packed full of the local chicken at.

The boss of the 9th floor was a hugeKokko.

Huh?

Haruki blinked his eyes repeatedly.

There was no mistake. This floors boss was a Big Kokko.

And it was the 9th floor. There was no error there either.

Since he could see the stairs on the other side, there was no way this wasnt the boss room.

Haruki didnt understand. Why was the 9th floors boss, who was also the gatekeeper to the middle floors, a Big Kokko?

Whaat?

He was sure he was going to go up against a demihuman type of monster.

But all that was waiting for him was a Big Kokko.

It looked very much like the one he had faced back in the garage dungeons 7th floor.

Dont tell its because this is the Nakasatsunai dungeon?

Haruki rembered.

The Nakasatsunai dungeon was considered the easiest dungeon in all of Hokkaido.

But he didnt expect the difference in difficulty to be this clear.

Wait, maybe hes super strong or sothing?

He knew he shouldnt probably underestimate it.

Even if it wasnt a demihuman type, a boss is still a boss.

Though it couldnt be seen by its appearance, it was possible that it was incredibly strong.

Focusing his mind, Haruki got ready to fight.

Rhea fixed her nozzle on Harukis shoulder.

Esta began building up his power while sitting on Harukis waist.

After taking a deep breath, Haruki advanced with all of his strength.

He followed Shigures movents.

To approach the enemy while minimizing his actions build-up.

To not let his opponent realize he had moved in the first place.

So that by the ti they do realize, its too late.

With such a clean movent, he reduced the distance between the boss and himself.

!?

As Haruki held up his dagger, the boss finally realized.

It worked.

But it hadnt been perfect.

The boss noticed him before Haruki had attacked.

Shigure wouldnt have been noticed until her attack actually connected.

He grinded his teeth at his own half-heartedness.

Harukis attack easily slipped into the boss neck

The boss didnt take any evasive actions.

With a slash, the boss neck was cut in half.

Blood gushed out as its artery was ruptured.

Rhea fires her bullets at that spot too.

After hitting it with quite a few bullets, the boss head was sent flying.

Then Esta tackled the boss.

The boss body was blown away by Estas attack, and crashed into a wall.

Huh?

Haruki tilted his head while still keeping his fighting stance.

After all, it was pretty weak.

Was this the gatekeeper to the middle floors?

Unbelievable

With bosses this weak, interdiate adventurers could be mass-produced here.

In fact, though they arent the majority, there were so adventurers who would aim towards easier dungeons in order to beco interdiate adventurers more easily.

At least just for the title.

Becoming an interdiate adventurer allowed one to obtain a Divine Protection.

And having a Divine Protection increases ones abilities.

So there should be a lot of strong adventurers around!

Just as Haruki was getting all excited about that, his head suddenly cooled down.

So, are interdiate adventurers being mass-produced here?

Nope, they are not.

The difference in difficulties among dungeons is a well-known fact.

Even then, the adventurers didnt seem to be taking this opportunity to easily turn interdiate.

Ah, but the monsters here are too weak, right?

Even if soone were to beco an interdiate adventurer in an easier dungeon, it didnt an that they would be able to tackle stronger dungeons.

And the fact that becoming an interdiate adventurer granted a Divine Protection was sothing only Karen and Haruki knew.

Others might be just wondering if they had even beco stronger at all.

It was hard to notice the actual benefits of becoming an interdiate adventurer.

Simply becoming an interdiate adventurer doesnt an that companies will back you up, nor that you will be able to sell materials for more money than before.

Both armor store clerks and general store clerks checked their custors ability with great detail.

Even if you call yourself interdiate, that doesnt necessarily an that their treatnt will imdiately change.

There surely would be so fellow adventurers who would be eager to go to the middle floors of a dungeon even if their own levels are low.

However, even if they were to force their way into the middle floors, there would be little they would be able to gain from it.

The most they would be able to do would be to brag about having beco interdiate adventurers.

Adventurers were putting their lives on the line.

Going outside of ones league is a sure way to lose your life, so it might be hard for an adventurer to boast about becoming interdiate.

With that thought, Haruki proceeded to the 10th floor.

At the usual ti, Karen left the hotel and rushed over to see Akane, who was already waiting for her at the dungeon entrance.

Youre late, Karen!

Sorry to make you wait.

Finally, Airs not here anymore, so lets go level up like crazy!

Akanes fighting spirit was burning brightly.

Apparently, she was thinking that she would be able to significantly raise Karens level while Haruki wasnt there with her.

Though she was an armor & general store clerk for Ichibishi, Akane also trained novice adventurers as a side activity.

Whenever she found soone who could be a good candidate for an Ichibishi sponsorship, she would turn from a regular armor & general store clerk into an adventurers personal trainer.

She was in high spirits, eager to show her abilities as a support for adventurers to Haruki.

She was puffing up her nostrils as she fantasized about bragging to Haruki, thinking How about that, Air? What do you think of my abilities? Are you amazed? This is the power of a goddess, I tell you, a goddess! Get down on your knees and revere !

Such desire coiled around Akanes spine.

She was completely eager about it, and without a doubt had the ability to do it.

Karen had seen it when they went to the dungeon together the other day.

She was able to single-handedly defeat the 9th floors boss -the gatekeeper to the middle levels- without attracting the attention of any other monster.

She wasnt Ichibishis fighting clerk only in na.

Co on, lets go! We cant lose to Air!

Akane vigorously pulled on Karens arm.

Um I know its just collecting hot stones, but will Karaboshi be okay?

Why?

I looked it up online last night. Seems like its quite difficult to do it alone.

Hell be alright.

Akane replied with an indifferent tone of voice, denying Karens concern.

How are you so sure?

For starters, hes got your magic bag. That alone will make it much easier for him to collect the stones. And hes also got good eyes.

Good eyes?

Yeah.

Akane nodded calmly.

Good eyes Was she talking about his eyesight?

Karen tilted her head in confusion.

You saw him too, right? That guy was actually matching Shigures movents!

That was certainly sothing very impressive

Impressive? Its absolutely impossible for an adventurer who has been qualified for only a couple of months to be able to see through Shigures shukuchi. Even worse, he actually was able to copy her movents for a mont. Shigure did respond by changing her movents, but she must certainly have been thrown off by that.
