Story 2-12: 『I Don’t Understand』
After taking out the enemy on the 40th Floor, floors 41-49 were uneventful.
When I died my status values increased by 1000 each, with Leadred and Shuri’s rising by 500 in the sa way. Tamaki’s magic rose to over 2500, though her other stat increases were poor. It was different from Shuri’s who expanded everything as an average, so maybe she is a specialist type.
No one obtained a new special ability. However, we’ve beco the highest leveled adventurers in the region.
Thinking the sailing was smooth, we stumbled into the stairs room on the 60th Floor. Now for the critically acclaid battle.
“Damn him! He’s annoying!” (Leadred)
Next to , Leadred cursed him.
I understand what she ans. I’ve also beco exhausted.
“He won’t stop moving……! Magic isn’t effective either, you’re f*cking kidding !” (Leadred)
Leadred thrusted at the hostile tiny demon. However, he avoided it by stepping to the right and retaliated with a head-butt to her side.
However, it didn’t damage Leadred because its body was soft like jelly. Even so, it wasn’t limited to physical damage.
“Tch! Poison!” (Leadred)
Leadred jumped far back to where Shuri was on standby so she could treat her with Light restoration magic.
In other words, the only current combatants were Tamaki and I.
“Hey, what is this guy…” (Daichi)
I looked at the tiny demon’s body jiggling in front of —Leadred also didn’t know its na so I nad it—it was a Poison Sli.
Opening the door, when we saw this fellow by himself we were sure we’d win.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say we were looking at an instant kill. Though after examining it, we were amazed.
Its Wit stat and reaction speed were crazy. We couldn’t hit its body with magic. Even touching it were afflict us with a special condition from its 『Deadly Poison』.
This guy is definitely not an ordinary sli. I’ve never known a sli to be this powerful.
Though Shuri can fortunately use recovery magic, the truth is that we can’t be careless with the 『Poison』when we attack.
Listening to Leadred’s story a little while ago, this sli might be one of Fantra’s strategis.
His aim might be to consu our Stamina and Magic statuses.
It has been an hour.
I an this fits that guy’s strategy brilliantly.
“One mont Katsuragi! Do you not have a plan!?” (Tamaki)
The complaint was from the drooping Tamaki. So noisy. I’m thinking to myself here.
And that guy is…… look, after such a loud voice he’s locked-on to you.
“Ah, wait ti out!” (Tamaki)
Tamaki was tackled by the sli fruitlessly.
Naturally, she was afflicted with the 『Deadly Poison』.
However, I was struck with an idea. A way to overco this.
For that reason, Tamaki was indispensable. I rushed to her while she was collapsing and drove the sli off of her shoulder.
“Uuu…… Katsuragi…..” (Tamaki)
“Are you alright, Tamaki?” (Daichi)
“The attack wasn’t that strong. However, the poison…..” (Tamaki)
“One mont, now, let check. Open.” (Daichi)

『Deadly Poison』: Decreases stamina value by 100 per minute. If the value reaches 0 from this effect, the object dies.
=======================
Tamaki only has nine minutes left. It is essential that I do this quickly.
Raising her upper body, I grip her neck and raise her up.
“Hey! You, what are you doing to a sick person!?” (Tamaki)
“I’m going to stop that guy’s movent stopped using you! I expect you to start your suicide tackle. Catch him at that mont! Sound good!?” (Daichi)
“That decision is not good! I’d be no different than a shield!” (Tamaki)
“Give it up! Repent for your actions so far!” (Daichi)
“No! Let go of !” (Tamaki)
Tamaki struggled desperately to escape my grip. Ah, another troubleso woman!
When I ordered her with an Absolute Command to beco a shield, her resistance finally ended.
Now she was concentrating all of her energy on capturing the sli. The change had such a large gap that it was surreal.
“Do you wish to be my shield!?” (Daichi)
“I want to be my master’s shield!” (Tamaki)
“Alright! Then, go! Shield!” (Daichi)
“Yes!” (Tamaki)
Although Tamaki《The Shield》was crying, she answered with a smile and dexterously approached the sli.
As expected, this guy only knows how to counter with a head-butt.
“Shield! Capture it!” (Daichi)
As it hit her stomach, the shield succeeded in capturing the sli with a well-tid embrace.
Raising it above her head, it was made unable to move by using Ice magic on it at point blank range.
“I did it! I did it, master!” (Tamaki)
“That’s right. Then, your reward. Pass it to and receive your treatnt from Shuri.” (Daichi)
“Thank you very much. I won’t forget your kindness. I will surely return it.” (Tamaki)
“Oh. I understand, so go quickly.” (Daichi)
With a rhythm of hopping-like series of light steps, she went towards Shuri.
Incidentally, when she arrived there I released the『Absolute Command』.
Needless to say, she was screaming from embarrassnt.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
Because our magic was drained thanks to the Poison Sli we took a small rest before resuming.
“Now for….. The final floor…..” (Tamaki)
Pulverizing the Wight Knights before her into pebbles, Tamaki grumbled.
“Work without the complaining, shield.” (Daichi)
So, I put in a bit of pep talk.
“Don’t call a shield! How could you treat like that…. My stamina was at 300 you know!?” (Tamaki)
“Didn’t it turn out fine? Lots of things could happen in three minutes. Like defeating that giant light monster.” (Daichi)
“It’s safe to say you could’ve just waited three minutes.” (Shuri)
“Shuri-chan!? If that happened, I would have died!?” (Tamaki)
“Yui-chan. I’ve told you before to use honorifics for Daichi-sama.” (Shuri)
Shuri splendidly passed the topic of the conversation like a dodgeball.
“U-……. But, I’ve been thinking Shuri-chan. That Katsuragi? That fat, ugly otaku? Shuri-chan is surely better than this guy.” (Tamaki)
“Yui-chan.” (Shuri)
Shuri interrupted Tamaki’s words. The tone of her voice was lower than usual, anyone could tell that she was angry.
“Wh-what?” (Tamaki)
“You don’t know Katsuragi-kun’s kindness. You don’t know Katsuragi-kun’s strength. You don’t know Katsuragi-kun’s suffering. Because you, including , did not try to get to know Katsuragi-kun.” (Shuri)
“…… That’s….” (Tamaki)
“I have confidence that I love Katsuragi-kun even if his appearance returns to how it was before. Not in compensation, but that these are my honest feelings. I love Katsuragi-kun.” (Shuri)
Shuri twined her arms around and drew close. Her expression was really happy. Because of that, Tamaki was unable to answer back.
“Therefore, from now on, I don’t permit any insults towards him.” (Shuri)
Shuri’s sharp gaze pierced through Tamaki.
“Absolutely, I do not permit it.” (Shuri)
Shuri declared strongly.
“………………” (Tamaki)
Tamaki stopped talking. She remained silent. She seems to have understood just how strong Shuri’s feelings were.
That it exceeded her friendship with Tamaki.
…………. I felt ashad analyzing it like that.
『………………』(Everyone)
Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere beca awkward. Though I’m not worried, I wonder if this will affect our teamwork in the upcoming fight against Fontra……
…… At that ti, should I use Absolute Command?
“……. Sorry, Shuri-chan. I still don’t understand.” (Tamaki)
Like that, Tamaki turned back and resud hunting demons to continue clearing the dungeon.
For the first ti, dark clouds hung over our dungeon capture.
