LBADDWSB Chapter 3 - Let's Subdue Monsters and Update The Blog! (Part 1)




Haruki who kick the ground with all his power is stabbing his knife to the house centipede.

"Stab!"

Knife's tip slipped out from its crust.

It is unexpected.

As a result, Haruki 's cheeks and back muscles trembled.

"Woooooooooo!!"

Adrenaline accelerates his thought.

One second seems like an eternity.

While the knife's tip slipped,

Haruki forcibly changed the knifes orbit.

Stab, stab, stab, stab!

Every time he cut it, the crust is scratched and it gets deeper.

The cuts begin to accumulate, and where knife's tip contacting become stable.


The crust cracks.

At that moment knife edge smoothly slide into its body.

Perhaps its brain was finished.

House centipede has lost it power.

Without relaxing, Haruki moves three meters from it.

It seems like just a reflex movement. House centipede's feet is twitching.

When its reflex movement calmed down, Haruki finally solved the battle posture.

"Fuu...... This is dangerous because it's not an ordinary house centipede."

Thanks to fight against monsters little by little in Sapporo's dungeon after possessing an adventurer's license, I didn't fall behind when facing with the house centipede.

But, its crust was different.

I never thought that my combat knife would not pierce it.

This is unexpected.

Haruki's back is still has goose bumps.

If it is a monster with killing power......

Haruki would have fallen into a deadly ending.

There is no adventure, but is an experience.

From now on even if a monster appears and opens an attack, I would able to deal with it calmer than when I'm still inexperience.

"However, is this really a beginner bonus monster?"

If it is adventurers who has never fought against a monster, the result would be reversed.

Most of them would lose their armor......

Haruki who is tilting his head, suddenly feels his body temperature rise.

His body is getting hotter like someone who has caught cold, but the heat is immediately over.

"......it was truly intense."

Haruki murmured while holding his head.

Current body change is so-called level up sickness.

It is not possible to confirm the actual level change and not so clear as to quantify the ability increase.

However, after experiencing this several times, lift the rice bag, which was the best to lift up until now, will be possible with one hand.

For this reason in "Let's Be", it is called level up sickness.

"When facing with Chika-ho's first floor monsters, why level up sickness never happen to me."

In the first place, it definitely will not happen.

Is this thanks to growth acceleration?

...well, as expected it will not possible to conclude.

It is caused by growth acceleration, or rather by "beginner's bonus monster".

Despite its weakness, there are many experiences.

In addition it has no killing ability.

Therefore, it is a beginner favorite monster.

On the contrary, "beginner killer" which comes out in the upper layer refers to the "monster that has strength but small profit", Haruki guess it is not necessarily a mistake.

Haruki keeps his combat knife, and take out the one for dismantling.

He move the knife while thinking how to disassemble crustaceans in WIKI.

He removes its limbs, turns it over, and moves the knife's tip along the muscles.

While struggling with the house centipede's weight, Haruki separated the its crust from the body.

The size is roughly two times of Haruki. It seems that armor can be made with one of it.

The average purchase price was a thousand yen at maximum.

If you think that you could make 1,000 yen from the raw materials of monsters on the 1st and 2nd floor of "Chika-ho", one thousand yen each time is quite good.

If you put it in the car expense once again, you will only earn the gasoline fare by going to sell it.

I brought a backpack, but its size will truly not enough to hold items.

Probably this is a kickback from a purchase price of 1,000 yen.

Because it is big and can't enter the bag, it is impossible to take large quantity in a single hunting.

Since it can't be sold in large quantities, for its price to fall is difficult.

If I have a magic bag, I can hunt without worrying about the quantity......

Though I think so, it can't change the fact beginner adventurer can be very handy.

By placing crust on the ground, Haruki looked down at the sliced house centipede's meat.

This is...... Can I eat it?

An adventurer says

"Monsters can be divided into two types. It can be eaten or can't be eaten."

How about this monster?

Try to cut its meat with a dismantling knife, he put it in his mouth to ensure he can spit it out anytime.

"......hmm?"

The taste is completely bland.

I chew it, it has a unique texture.

He spits it out without swallowing, and rinses his mouth with water from the canteen.

It may not be inedible, but it may be bad if it has to be rich in flavor.

If I have vegetables I can make a dish using its texture, but since the dungeon emerged, vegetables' price has exploded.

The cause is that oil can't be imported too much.

It seems that dungeons have appeared not only on the ground but also on the seabed.

Monsters escape from it because people absolutely can't reach it. An ordinary ship doesn't have posibility to sail.

Therefore gasoline prices exceeded 1,000 yen per litter.

Even with mass production of vegetables, if you use agricultural machinery you will be in deficit by just harvesting.

Even if you bought a large quantity of cutting tools and harvested it, shipping costs will not be insignificant.

Since the truck is also moving with gasoline or diesel oil, it's natural the shipping costs will soar.

So nature and planting areas are diminished, and vegetables price are soaring.

Is it a noble food now? It is closed to that level.

Haruki's courtyard also has a home garden, but harvest is still ahead.

Nonetheless, the food situation of Haruki's house is always tight, but it has not exceeded the limit yet.

Let's try meat of house centipede when I'm hungry.

Haruki carried house centipede's crust outside the dungeon, and dives in again.
