<< Previous Chapter | List of Content | Next Chapter >>

Happy New Year Everyone!!. XD

I apologize for the delay from chapter 4.
I'm quite busy and not feeling well a few days before the new year.
I will try to catch up with the delay in translation.

I also have news for the translation of this novel.
As you know, this novel was originally translated by Shujinkou Translation. After we discussed, we finally decided to collaborate.
We will take turns acting as translators and editors of this novel.
Although most of it will be translated by me due to the uneven schedule between us.

That's all from me.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

It was a mistake to add three points to Growth Acceleration without thinking of anything.

After delighting that his PVs had increased by three, Haruki calmed down to think.

‘Both my skill points and PVs were 3.'

‘Could this be fate……? It is impossible.

‘House Centipede was a strong monster.'

‘But, I don't really know how much the growth acceleration is effective.'

‘I feel regret, I should at least have to measure it by experiencing growth acceleration at level 0, 1, and 2.

or I should at least fight the monsters in "Chika-ho".'

‘I still don't know the requirements to increase the points.'

He had been level-up several times after defeating around 100 House Centipedes. Therefore, he thought the points would increase, but it didn't in the end.

‘In other words, there are different conditions besides level up, or it may not increase anymore.'

"I don't think it will not increase...... I wonder why it isn't."

It was just a magic tool that can distribute skill points he found by chance.

Therefore, there was no demerit for Haruki.

It wasn't enough to get him depressed because there were no merits.

"For today, I'll explore the first floor and peek at the second floor......."

He scheduled today's subjugation while preparing breakfast.

For people who live alone, cooking skill was a necessity.

Naturally, Haruki was also good at cooking.

Although it was a man's dish with an irregular ingredients' cutting method, he could cook dishes at a normal level.

Of course, if there were ingredients.

He made bread and prepare eggs using flour and chicken eggs from his neighbor - Kitora-san, the farmer (by walking for 10 minutes).

Humming while making egg benedict and roaming around blogs has become Haruki's routine.

"Hump. Bacon-san is giving a beginner's short course today. Ah..., I also want to be taught by him. As for Masatsugu-san……, there is no update. Is he in an expedition?"

Both Bacon and Masatsugu are active rankers on the Rank of "Let's be".

As they had substantial abilities, both of them were sponsored by companies.

Masatsugu is categorized as a so-called cheater.

He is a member of a dungeon capture team, a fixed ranker, and has the second name as Hero.

He also held the deepest dive record of Tokyo's the most difficult dungeon - Shinjuku Station.

Bacon is a bored, popular ranker who like to give beginner's short course.

He is a person who focused on enjoyment.

But even though like that, he is still a ranker.

His second name is Muscle, Old-Man, and Nudist.

His official second name is the perverted one.

After registering the bookmark, he looked over the blog's new articles.

Meanwhile, Haruki's mouse stopped slightly on a specific blog.

There is a blog with the title of "May Rain Today".

The administrator's name is Shigure.

She is the only women ranker that is entering the top ten.

She is specialized on using katana and equipping light armor.

Her profile picture, with her tied-up long hair at her back and looking-far-away pose, is drawing attention.

As a dignified person, just standing makes her seem attractive.

She seems to have attended Iai-dojo since childhood, and never lost to anyone in a fight.

The second name attached because of her brilliant ability is Senki. A war princess twisted from a brilliant princess. (TL: Senki = War Princess)

In addition, some people call her as Big Sister or Miss.

She is very popular not only by men but also by women.

Haruki often overlaid himself on her appearance.

Rather than admiring her..., she is his role model.

She is the figure of adventurer that he wants to be.

(The next is Bacon, but it is impossible for Haruki who has Air-like presence)

‘For the new article, it is about her expedition probably.'

‘The update will probably cease for a few days. It's a shame.'

"Nevertheless, the main weapon should be a katana"

His actual funds on-hands were only 100,000 yen.

To buy an anti-monster katana, he would have to prepare at least 1 million yen.

Haruki couldn't handle such a large fee currently.

"Haa", he let out a heavy sigh.

But today, he patted his cheek and stand up.

‘I got a long-awaited dungeon here.'

‘In addition, I got a mysterious magic tool.'

‘I have no time to sigh!'

After he finished eating egg benedicts and washing the dishes, Haruki immediately wore his equipment and entered the dungeon.

‘I will be stronger, and gain my presence!'

*********

'The first battle with House Centipede yesterday was more or less a close fight, but today I can finish it easily.'

'‘The carapace that impenetrable in one strike yesterday can be penetrated in almost one blow.'

'I was almost hit from behind yesterday because I couldn't hear the sound of House Centipede's footsteps.'

'Now, I can take House Centipede by surprise.'

He didn't realize that his presence was thinner as his level increase.

Everything would always look nice when viewed from the good side.

He defeated 100 centipedes after shutting himself a whole day in the dungeon.

Originally he planned to enter the second floor that day, but in case something would happen, he decided to devote himself for leveling.

The next day, Haruki practiced defeating 5 House Centipedes after taken surprised by the change in his body.

House Centipede is now not an opponent for Haruki.

It was good that the subjugation became easier, but Haruki felt guilty.

It seemed like bullying the weak.

‘Beating monster isn't evil.'

‘However, one-side oppression even when fighting monsters isn't my hobby.'

"There's no problem with my strength, let's enter the second floor"

Harumi walked out looking for the stairs to the second floor.

After mapping for about an hour, Harumi arrived in a hall.

"Is it House Centipede?"

A silent voice came from Haruki's mouth.

In the hall's center, several House Centipedes were gathered.

If they were small, they would look like a lump of threads.

However, they looked disgusting when 50 to 100 centimeters of House Centipedes gathered in a group.

Insect haters definitely would faint when they saw them.

Haruki frowned when he look at their figures.

"How to defeat them......"

It looked bizarre but it wasn't a big deal for him.

He didn't think about his adventure, and only  about how to defeat them.

Harumi mapped everything on the first floor so far.

The remaining underground passage was this way only.

Apparently, it was necessary to pass through this hall in order to enter the second floor.

‘Were this treated as a boss room on the first floor?'

‘I wonder how the boss of monsters without a killing power is……'

Haruki pulled out his knife as he managed to recover his fragile mind.

‘I have experienced fighting one or two at the same time.'

‘But this time I face 6 of them.'

‘What should I do now?'

As soon as he thought about it, the foundational strategy (basic) for one-to-many battle in "Let's be" blog came to his mind.

‘The easiest way to annihilate a flock of monsters in a spacious room is to throw something and lure them into the passage.'

‘In that situation, I can reduce the number of monsters attacked at once.'

Haruki followed the basic by picking up a pebble from the ground.

He threw it with his full power to the crowd of House Centipedes.

The pebble caved into the body of a House Centipede.

The crackling sound of smashed crust could be heard.

At that moment, five House Centipedes started to move at the same time.

As Haruki expected...... no, beyond his expectations, five House Centipedes was simultaneously rushing to Haruki.

"OMG!"

It was unexpected.

......no, this was clearly Haruki's fault.

It was meaningless to lure monsters in the passage if it was wide.

At Haruki's location, there was a 5-meter wide walkway.

Luring them to such a place was useless.

In addition, House Centipede was a creature that could crawl on walls and ceilings.

The numbers of their simultaneous attackers were more than double compared to the ordinary monster.

All House Centipedes were crawling not only on the ground but also on the walls and ceiling to aim for Haruki.

‘It is dangerous.'

‘My armor is in danger if I continue like this!'

The panicked Haruki stepped on the ground with his full power to dodge.

"Donger?"

A strange voice was leaked out from Haruki's mouth because he was too fast.

It was as fast as when bungee jumping.

He slowly decelerated by kicking the ground in a hurry.

When he turned his neck and looked backward, a separated House Centipede was heading to him.

"Is this due to level up?"

Compare to the last hunt yesterday, Haruki only let out a little effort.

About 50% of the power he used to subjugate House Centipede was certainly because he has leveled up.

Haruki, who didn't understand his situation, began to experience his full power for the first time.

That was why he was surprised.

‘I have gained this much power......'

"......can I do it?"

‘It is my first experience to fight against six monsters at the same time.'

‘However, I can handle them with my current ability.'

After resolving himself, Haruki turned around.

He held the knife forward and confirmed House Centipedes' position.

His back trembled.

His heartbeat rose.

And adrenaline made his body hot.

‘Now, it's time for adventure!'
