LBADDWSB Chapter 1 - If Dungeon is Created, Let's Report It! (Part 2)
The next day, Haruki went out of the house with carefully equipping his weapon.
His weapon is a combat knife of about 30 centimeters purchased for 20,000 yen. It is an entry model made by Mitsubishi. On the blade, a logo of 『δΈ』 is crafted together with its series name.
His protective gear is a (white) helmet for construction use and slightly compacted with leather.
His elbow and knee supported with safety gear. The total sum is 10,000 yen.
None are dungeon exclusive armor.
His weapon is a considerable difference.
Of course, there are reasons why the price of his protective gear is cheap.
It's not because he's stingy.
He doesn't have enough money to buy good equipment.
Truly, he at least wants to purchase specialized equipment
But he has no choice but to proceed.
As a matter of fact, every beginner is similar in nature.
It is not only Haruki that wear the lowest quality equipment.
Except for a few rich people, beginner adventurers are generally poor.
It is natural not to be able to buy protective gear for the dungeon.
It is a weapon that is problematic for Haruki's equipment.
There are only a few adventurers equipped with a dagger or knife.
The reason is simple. It is because it can't kill monsters.
Diving in the dungeon and fighting monsters is like killing a bear physically.
Does anyone have a knife to fight bears?
......No, there is not.
Killing a bear with a knife is only for someone like Seagal[1].
But not everyone is like Seagal.
So, they are preferred to attack from a safer distance with a powerful weapon.
"Let's Become" has done an investigation for weapon type used by adventurers.
Bow = Large Sword > Long Sword >> Sword >>>>> etc.
With, bow and large sword occupied more than half of chart.
By the way, knife, dagger, blunt weapon, and the like are not included.
Of course, some adventurers fight with knives.
But they are for senior adventurers who fight with lower rank monsters for fun or training.
The demerit of a dagger is larger to that extent.
So why did Haruki choose such unpopular knife?
Of course, it is because it stands out.
Even for someone who has Air like existence, showing such style will surely stand out.
Thinking like that he chooses a knife, but...... until now there is no effect.
Surely someday, Haruki believes that this hardship will be rewarded.
Whether it is praise or ridicule and curse,
"That fellow, he is fighting with a knife!" it is a victory if they say that.
Hold the IC card over the ticket gate, retinal authentication is performed.
Data associated with the IC is read, only after the retina is matched the ticket gate open.
If someone forcibly passes through this, a report will instantly be sent to the police.
Standing on the first step of the dungeon staircase, Haruki puts his hand in front of his chest.
Then, a tablet like stone slate comes out of his chest.
"As expected"
After he came back home yesterday, he tried to take out the stone slate several times in his room but it didn't work.
Perhaps it won't even possible to take it out.
It can only be used in the dungeon, a restricted type magic tool.
It is also the first time for Haruki to see a magic tool.
Besides, magic tools are not something that novice adventurers can easily grab.
Magic tools are items rarely come from the treasure box that appears in the dungeon.
There are various kinds.
Everything looks different, but what is in common is "it demonstrates effects beyond human knowledge".
Magic bags are probably the most famous magic tool.
It is beyond human knowledge, although it sizes only enough for a watermelon, it is possible to store more items. It is such a bag.
As it is famous, an eyeball protrudes price will be attached when it set on auction.
It can be acquired for a maximum of around 3 billion became a hot topic recently.
It was purchased by a large company, a weapon dealer under Kawakami Industry.
The successful bidder who answered the interview,
"I'm thinking of decorating this in the store to entertain customers' eyes."
That is his answer.
Is it the first melon. (TL: I'm not sure what does it mean.)
Next is the famous magical sword.
The effect is unknown. The existence of the magic sword has been confirmed, but information about the effect doesn't spread.
Perhaps the acquirer is limiting the information.
They are scared of theft, or it is too dangerous so it can't be told.
Some mysterious weird magic tools also came out.
Is it too early for mankind that nobody knows how to use it, mostly it is sold at discard price.
Even collectors do not put out their hands afraid of curses.
Anyway, the skill board Haruki got on is sure to be that kind of magic tools.
Haruki sat on the stair and look at the stone slate.

Basically melons are expensive in Japan. There are some specially grown ones that get sold at action for thousands of dollars. Two was sold recently for over $25,000.00 as a fruit company publicity stunt or something to wow the customers, hence the reference in the novel.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information
DeleteThanks for the chapter! Wonder if his knife is going to be long enough to reach the vitals on larger mobs lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the other portion
ReplyDeleteoof, a knife user, strike one. the reason's pretty bad too, let's hope he get's over it and switches to a decent weapon pretty quick.
ReplyDeleteLOL imagine counting strikes on a website with unreadable chapters, and then your first strike being the close range weapon he chooses XDDDDDD
ReplyDeleteif you’re here it means you could care less about the fine details or your trying to soldier on through the first crappy chapters here so you can read the good chapters later since they didn’t retranslate or even fix the early chapters.
but hey if you don’t like unique content or near suicide to spite others and forcing the character to overcome things, why don’t you just go back to your collection of harem isekai dense mc trash novels.
Imagine criticizing people because you're too close-minded to understand that people have different likes and dislikes.
DeleteBro chill we just powering through it cus we got nothing else to do π
