「It definitely exist. However, it’s just that not many people know how it actually looks.」
「People don’t even know how it looks like?」
「Yes. It also seems like even butchers don’t tend to buy it just so that they could avoid the trouble related to it. That is why regular people didn’t even see it and tend to think that it doesn’t exist at all.」
According to Sherry, the Triangular Boneless Ribs really do exist. And if she says that they are real, then it has to an that they are truly real. However, even though we challenged the sa Floor Boss many tis on that day, it didn’t drop the Triangular Boneless Ribs or Zabuton even once.
Just how long are we going to keep missing it?
「Master, it is almost evening.」
「I understand. Let’s wrap things up here then.」
Roxanne tells the ti, and I declare that its ti to end the hinting for today.
「It’s a sha that we tried so many tis today, but ultimately didn’t get a single Triangular Boneless Ribs or Zabuton.」
「Indeed. It would seem that these ingredients are really difficult to obtain. Well, there’s nothing that we can do about it though.」
Sherry tried comforting .
「That is also why I would like to continue fighting against the Floor Boss of the twenty-ninth floor tomorrow, but what do you all think about it?」
I asked everyone else for suggestions.
「Mumumu… tomorrow as well, huh?」
「At this rate, doesn’t it feel like we’ve lost in a way?」
「Un. And losing is not a good thing.」
Oh?
Is this going to work? Am I going to force them into accepting it?
Is Roxanne going to be convinced by it? Am I finally going to be able to escape the yoke of going up one floor per day with this, especially since I don’t feel like we’re losing anything in particular?
「No, we’re not going to allow it to end like this. If we do, then our nas as warriors are going to be tarnished. And if our nas as warriors get tarnished, then it’s going to be the sa as allowing the Labyrinth to defeat us!」
「Certainly. Defeat is never a good thing, and if we leave it unattended like that, then it might develop into a losing habit. I agree with master. We should go and repeat the battle against the Floor Boss of the twenty-ninth floor tomorrow as well.」
Ohh? Have I finally managed to get Roxanne’s approval? I think I did. This is my victory against the one floor per day strategy.
「It might be a bit of a pain, but we might as well give it a try.」
「Let’s do it, desu!」
「I think we’re going to be fine.」
A defeat is unacceptable for all of them after all.
Now that I have obtained everyone’s approval, we have entered the Boss Room on the twenty-ninth floor the next day as well.
「Did it, desu!」
The first battle ended after Miria managed to petrify both the Monotaurus and Boss Taurus in quick succession.
This is exactly what happens when the ti of the battles is extended, so I don’t feel like that’s making too much trouble for us. I also defeated the Monotaurus with Durandal, and then I moved on to defeating the other two petrified monsters. The Monotaurus quickly disappeared in a cloud of green smoke and the item that it left when the dust has finally settled…
Was Triangular Boneless Ribs. I got it form the Monotaurus that Miria petrified.
I finally managed to get it. This is the first ti when we got this item after killing a Monotaurus.
「Here you go, master.」
Vesta brings the Boneless Ribs from the other Monotaurus that I defeated back to .
「Here, desu.」
Miria picked the Triangular Boneless Ribs up. So these are the Triangular Boneless Ribs, huh? Appearance-wise, it doesn’t look all that different from the regular Boneless Ribs. It’s just a lump of at. Looking at it now, I kind understand why do the butcher don’t want to but the Triangular Boneless Ribs to avoid the problems associated with them. I an, the normal custors would not be able to differentiate between the two of them at all.
I wonder if a professional butcher would be able to tell them apart. Good thing that I have my 「Identify」so that I can know about it imdiately.
However, if I proclaim that this thing right here, is the Triangular Boneless Ribs, I wonder if the girls are not going to get suspicious of how can know it?
「Are these here the Triangular Boneless Ribs?」
I asked Sherry while trying to sound as confused as possible. I wonder if Sherry is going to be able to tell the difference between the Triangular Boneless Ribs and the regular Boneless Ribs.
「Are you able to tell?」
「No. Uhm… I only know that if it’s really a Triangular Boneless Ribs, then it shouldn’t fit into the Item Box space containing the regular Boneless Ribs.」
I see. So that is one way of differentiating between the two. It makes sense, since you can put multiple copies of the sa item in the sa Item Box Slot, but you cannot put two different Items in the sa Item Box slot.
Therefore, Triangular Boneless Ribs and Boneless Ribs should be treated as separate items, and when I tried fitting the Triangular Boneless Ribs into the Boneless Ribs slot, it really couldn’t fit in there at all, but it fit when I moved it into a free space in another row.
「Ohh, is that how it is?」
「Looks that way.」
Damn! I should have told them that these are Triangular Boneless Ribs from the start. If I did that, then I could appeal to them by showing how smart I actually am.
No, even if I could appeal how smart I am, then there’s no reason for to pretend to be smart. I am genuinely smart, and I don’t have to disguise or hide it in any way. Perhaps.
Sherry must’ve also seen that I was confused because I couldn’t place the Triangular Boneless Ribs in my Item Box. In her eyes, I must be looking like an idiot who didn’t noticed that he managed to obtain the Triangular Boneless Ribs, and so she was looking at with sowhat cold eyes.
No, I am sure that this is just my imagination. I want to believe that this is nothing but my imagination.
Damn, now that just makes feel bad about myself. However, now that I have it in my Item Box an be able to find it in there, I should be able to sell it at the butcher’s shop. However, this might end up not working, since not all of the custors have access to Item Boxes, and we cannot just go and sell things that would be limited only to Explorers or Adventurers. Even if you have an Item Box, it would be useless if you don’t already have the Boneless Ribs in it.
After putting the Triangular Boneless Ribs into my Item Box and dispatching the Floor Boss that has beco petrified with magic, it turned into smoke, and once the smoke disappeared, I saw that if left a at item behind when it died.
Ara? It’s Zabuton. After we obtained the Triangular Boneless Ribs, that was the only item left, but we managed to obtain it in this Floor Boss battle.
「Oh, looks like we managed to get Zabuton this ti. This makes two rare ingredients in succession.」
We really are on a roll with these ingredients right now. Or maybe its just a matter of luck? Or maybe the Triangular Boneless Ribs and Zabuton have set dates of appearances that are really close to one another?
Normally it is said that these things are so rare that people think they don’t exist, but yesterday we managed to get one of these things, and the other thing today.
I wonder if there is a pattern to it? Although that does not seem very likely.
People usually tend to think that if it is said that once in a hundred years disaster is going to occur every one hundred years, but in reality, disasters like that tend to happen once every several years. I have heard that this is more natural in terms of probability. Large earthquakes are excluded from this equation because they are inevitably periodic happenings due to the need to store energy. In other words, even if I gotten my hands on Triangular Boneless Ribs and Zabuton in a row, that does not an anything special.
