【Gang Force】 Travel across the Dungeon with Full Power! 132nd Floor 【Wisdom】

128 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Is it bright in Chika-ho?

129 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Is it a festival?

130 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Is the first BOSS subjugation complete?

131 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
If I'm not mistaken, Masatsugu is in that expedition.

132 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Oh~, I see.
Well, his way of thinking is weird.

133 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Did he go to Hokkaido by boat?

134 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Idiot, you are wrong. He pedalled a swan boat.
No matter what kind of materials the oar was made, he would definitely break it.

135 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Eh, that's weird......!
Did Masatsugu-san do it!?

136 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
>>135 Flag is prohibited.
It was probably Masatsugu-san

137 Name: Masatsugu★
Hello everyone.

138 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
The person himself appears......!

139 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Is he Masatsugu-san who subjugate the first BOSS?

140 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
What is the first kill's reward?

141 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
What kind of monster is the BOSS?

142 Name: Masatsugu★
>>139 Yes.
>>140 It was an unknown stick as it is still in the appraisal progress.
>>141 It seems like a lizard with a big tongue.
I will release it on WIKI.
I'll also update my blog, so look at it later.

143 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
I hope it would be a wonderful stick. Ha ha ha.

144 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
>>143 Come on Monster Rampage.
I'll look forward to it!

145 Name: Masatsugu★
By all means.
Oh, yeah.
Does anyone know the masked man who hunted in Sapporo?

146 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Who is that mysterious man?

147 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
I have never seen a masked man.
You can find a false man here if you want.

148 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
>>147 Monster Rampage GO.

149 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
Is there something wrong with him?

150 Name: Masatsugu★
I thought his name is popular.

151 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
I don't know.
If you ask for this false man name (omitted)

152 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
>>151 Monster Rampage

152 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
I've never seen him, but is there something wrong?

154 Name: Masatsugu★
I saw how he knew the way to break his opponent's battle formation using his footwork only.
He is pretty skillful in suppressing his presence.
So, I think he is interesting and talented.

155 Name: Nameless Frontline Challenger
For Masatsugu-san to say he is interesting.
What kind of person is he...

*********

Haruki made an advance arrangement with Karen about how they would pass through the dungeon tomorrow.

On the first day, there were 100 House Centipedes. They had finished the hunt and sold those materials.
After repeating it for 3 days, Karen has grown to the level that she could handle 2 or 3 House Centipedes at the same time.

'Is Growth Acceleration 3 about 200% experience increase?'

"......Eh?"

When he opened the Skill Board after a long time, he found there was 1 additional point.
It was an unexpected increase as he hadn't visited a higher floor.

"......Is it because of the rare monster?"

That was the only possibility that he could think of.
'Is it possible to gain a large number of points after hunting some rare monsters?'

'However, it makes sense if I don't get a point when facing another rare monster from the same species for the second time.'

'Moreover, the chance to meet a rare monster is very low.'
'It's not a monster that can be found easily.'

'It's not realistic if I try to aim for a lot of points from rare monsters.'

'I also experienced another change.'

- Technique
Armour Proficiency
One-Hand Sword 0 → 1

"My One-Hand Sword skill made progress."

Haruki didn't allocate his point to One-Hand Sword.
It was a natural development.

It was probably the result of his fight with the rare monster. Haruki remembered slicing his blade as he tried to show a dagger technique.
Maybe that was the reason for his skill growth.

'With this, I have confirmed that skills can be developed naturally.'
'Therefore, now I know the way to increase my skill quality.'

"It's better if I put off skills that can grow in battles with monsters."

'Before, I thought about allocating points to One-Hand Sword skill, but for now, I need to wait and see.'
'Rather than allocating points when it is low, it's more efficient if I allocate points when a skill's growth slowed down.'

"Ah!"

Karen's magic stroked 100 House Centipedes' heads easily.

On the first day, she needed to strain herself to use magic. Now, she can operate it like her own limbs.

This could be due to level ups or because she's used to it now.

'I still don't understand what kind of principle it used even after looking at her using magic.'

'The only thing that I know is that her magic doesn't have an attribute.'
'It seems she can't materialize flame, wind, earth, or water.'

However, Karen's skill is still low.
'So, it is not impossible for her to add an attribute to her magic later.'

"Let's end it here for now."
"Yes."
"And for tomorrow, I'm sorry but I'll take a day off."
"Do you have another plan?"
"No, I need to do some levelling too."

It has been 5 days, Haruki could not hunt properly as he needed to
support Karen.

In the last 5 days, Karen has grown to the level that she would not let 1st and 2nd floor get close.
Therefore, Haruki thought he also needs to grow.

"That...... I'm sorry because of me."
"That's okay, you don't need to apologize. As an exchange, you can take a day off tomorrow."
"I understand. Ah, if you think you need to level up, I think its better if I--."
"Take a rest. Even God takes a rest on Sunday, right?" (TLN: I think its only for Japanese Gods. EN: For Christians, Sunday is the day God rested after creating the earth, so not only for Japanese Gods)

Karen unwillingly nodded to Haruki's strong tone.

'I feel bad for Karen, but I want to enter the dungeon alone tomorrow.'

Looking at her growth, his body felt an ache.
'I don't want to lose.'

'Of course, hunting alone is only one of the reasons. The main point is to give her a day off.'

Haruki, who had experienced working without sleep and any day off in the printing company, thought rest is a necessary thing in human life.

Especially for adventurers, 'your body is your capital.'
You can't have a satisfying fight if you accumulate fatigue.
It could affect your life if you can't fight satisfyingly.

It's best if you prepare for an emergency.
It's also an adventurers job.

The next day after he persuaded Karen to take a rest.
Haruki went to the dungeon after checking his equipment.

'In this dungeon, I only reached the second floor.'
'I want to reach the 4th floor in this dungeon, like what I did in "Chika-ho".'

'If possible, I want to reach the 5th floor.'
'Am I too greedy?'

At the first floor gate, he vanished to the second floor.
Without regarding the smell of Onion which made his eyes teary, he directly went to the inner area.

On the 2nd floor, there was still no BOSS monster.
The 10 Onions gathered in the hall in front of the stairs were not Haruki's opponents.

He went to the 3rd floor after kicking them while letting out some tears.

It was similar to the 2nd floor.
There really was no change.

He held back his nearly dropped motivation, and tighten it.

When he walked carefullywalk, there was something about 50 cm in size suddenly appearing from the opposite direction of the passage.

It has dark grey (nearly black) fur, sharp claws, big and beautiful eyes, and a cute nose.

The 3rd-floor monster is a raccoon which is famous as a pest.

"If I'm not mistaken, it is called Black Raccoon."
