However, Haruki did not accept Karens words.
He wasnt amazing at all.
His ability was closer to the bottom. That was how Haruki rated himself.
Yes, he had improved greatly compared to where he started.
But there still much room to grow.
According to the mid-ranking Adventurers, you were suddenly on an entirely different level in terms of power.
Many of them would probably laugh if they saw how strong he was now.
As for high-ranking Adventurers, there was no point in even speaking about it.
And so he insisted that he had a long way to go.
He wasnt trying to be modest.
It was the truth.
Haruki was not remotely satisfied with his current position.
I have to beco stronger..
You want to go even further!?
Huh?
What?
The air between them was now very strange.
It seed like sothing wasnt quite clicking between them.
Was it just him?
Of course, I have to beco stronger.
Uh, oh, um. I see. Because you are weak, Karaboshi.
Uh
There was sothing about Karens words that bothered Haruki.
However, he also felt that it would best not to go digging too deep.
Perhaps it was just him.
He decided to leave it at that, and continue on forward.
They activated the gate on the 8th floor.
As he had been mapping the dungeon from the 6th to 7th floors, it had taken them quite so ti to get through them.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was already 4 oclock.
Well find out what kind of monsters are here, then well return to the surface.
Very well.
The 8th floor was also the highest floor they had reached back at Chikaho.
And so they had to be more careful than ever.
With his daggers in his hands, he moved through the passage. After a few minutes, a monster appeared in front of them.
It had writhing vines and a heavy body.
Its arms were spread wide, and he could see balls with a netted pattern hanging from them.
Those are!
Haruki leaped forward just as he realized what they were.
The distance between him and the monster shrunk.
However, the monster reacted as well.
Just like the potato monsters, it fired bullets from its vines.
Ra-tatatatata!!
Tsk!
He was barely able to dodge them.
It was all he could do.
Still, he dodged and understood.
Was his body lighter?
Maybe it was because of the feather accessory.
It was as if he could now go just a little bit further than what was previously his limit.
He felt he could slow down just a little and still be able to dodge the attacks.
And so Haruki calmly overserved the enemys movents and dodged.
Unlike the potato monster, there was no movent when firing.
Before he knew it, the bullets ca flying.
Still, as long as he dealt with it properly, he should be able to defeat it without a problem.
Yes, Haruki was sure of it.
Here I go!
!
Haruki heard Karens voice and he jumped to the side.
In that instant
Wind crushed and destroyed.
atatann!
There were the light sounds of bursting as the magic flew.
It pierced through the monsters body.
The impact of the magic caused the monster to lose its balance.
Haruki didnt miss his opportunity.
He moved in imdiately and slashed at its body with his two daggers.
!!
The monster seed to roar without making a sound.
It went into convulsions for a mont before falling dead to the ground.
Haaha
Haruki kept his guard up as he approached the monster.
Then he picked up one of the balls and carefully cut it in half and brought it to his mouth.
Karaboshi!?
Mm!
Once it was in his mouth, the intense sweetness of the fruit caused Haruki to tremble.
This lon is delicious!!
The monster that had appeared before them was a lon.
Um, Karaboshi
What?
Dont you think its a little dangerous to keep shoving random things into your mouth?
I wont know how it tastes like unless its in my mouth, will I?
And what are you going to do if its poisonous?
I can just spit it out.
Oh, this guy isnt living on planet Earth.
That was what her cold eyes seed to say.
You try it too, Karen.
Uh, fine.
Haruki passed her a slice of the lon, and Karen brought it hesitantly to her mouth.
And then
Her eyes opened wide.
They quickly beca filled with tears.
Its so sweet.
Right?
I feel like Im eating sugar!
Karen breathed heavily as she approached Haruki and snatched another piece of the lon away from him.
It did not take long for the whole lon to disappear.
Karen.
Yes.
Haruki and Karen looked at each other and nodded.
The fire of farrs burned in their eyes.
And like that, it was decided that they would be spending so more ti hunting.
The monsters on the 8th floor had two different types of lons. Orange and green.
The orange ones had a rich sll and sweetness to them, while the green ones had a refined fragrance and milder sweetness.
Im so stuffed.
Yeah. We ate quite a lot.
Their passion for gathering the lons was larger than their appetite.
Had they had unlimited space in their stomachs, they might have continued hunting until morning.
After their full stomachs had put out the farr flas.
Haruki and Karen ca out of the dungeon. It was now very dark outside.
We got both types of lons. As for todays share
As soon as he said this, Karens eyes glimred greedily.
She had greatly preferred the lons with orange flesh.
Yes. She wanted the orange lon. He understood that quite well.
You can have half of the orange one. Will you let take the green oneand the other food?
Yes. Of course.
Apparently, Karen had no interest in the green lon, eggplants, or chicken at.
But they were all delicious
No, perhaps she felt that if he kept them, he would cook sothing amazing for her.
He took out the orange lon from Karens magic bag and then cut it in half.
Then he took the rest of the raw food ingredients.
Im thinking about making jam with this. Would you want so?
Jam! Yes!!
Karens voice echoed throughout the area.
It was clear that she really liked these lons they had gathered.
And yet, she had barely responded to the potatoes, eggplants, and chicken
In fact, she had had the aura of a madman as she hunted the lons.
She was faster than Haruki when it ca to detecting them and hunting them down.
Yes, greed could do that to a person.
Haruki swore in his heart then, that he would never allow that to happen to him.
Well, perhaps it was already too late
It was currently past closing ti for Akanes store.
And so Haruki decided to force the materials on her tomorrow. And with that, they separated.
Haruki returned to his house and browsed the internet as he cut his lons.
He took the orange one that was cut in half and scooped out the insides.
Then he lightly mashed the flesh before returning it into the peels and then he put it away in the freezer.
As for the green lon, he took out the flesh and dumped it into a pot which he slowly heated.
Once the moisture had evaporated and the texture thickened, it was complete.
He put it in a container and let it cool off.
Then he began to cook the eggplant on a grill.
While he had already had his dessert today, this was the main dish.
It was charcoal-grilled eggplant!
When he put it in his mouth, the soft insides flowed out.
Sweet! It was so sweet!
It was so delicious that Haruki nearly fainted with pleasure.
Im so happy to be alive.
It had been a while since he had tasted this.
And he couldnt help that tears were falling from his eyes.
In spite of his stomach being full of lon, Haruki finished the whole plump eggplant as he cried.
