Chapter 78: Honda Tadakatsu

'Thinking about it, I am like one of those bosses in an RPG game. Even though I'm only at level 4, I'm equivalent to level 8+.' Nero thought about this as she brushed her teeth. Gargling, she spat into the sink.

Stepping out in her nightgown, she went to change into the leather battle suit.

'Also, thinking about clothes, I can't wait to win Valquiria's Dress and helmet,' Nero smiled to herself.

"Did something good happen, Nero?" Choko asked.

"Mhm? I was just thinking about how beautiful you look this morning," Nero smiled.

"Fool, stop kidding…" Choko blushed.

"Okay, don't get distracted by me. Keep absorbing the Monster Cores' mana. After that, we will invade the dungeon again," Nero said.

"Alright." Choko became serious.

'I knew it, Choko is special.' Nero, seeing her meditating, realized Choko was different from Jana and the rest.

Of course, there was the fact that the Monster Cores she was absorbing here were better, but it wasn't just that, it was more than that. In any case, it was a good thing she was getting stronger fast.

After Choko concentrated, she entered a world of her own. The Monster Core mana leaked and went towards her without being able to escape. She was like a black hole, pulling everything towards her.

'As expected, she didn't let me down.' Nero smiled.

A few hours later, almost lunchtime, Choko opened her eyes. Her eyes shone even brighter than the stars. That's because she managed to advance to level 7.

"Congratulations on your safe progress," Nero smiled at her.

"Thanks." Moved, Choko hugged Nero very tightly.

Afterward, take care of daily necessities, eat, and bathe. Nero and Choko left. When they arrived at the front of the dungeon, Jingu, Alex, and Maura were already there.

"Did you wait too long?" Nero asked out of politeness.

They shook their heads.

"Shall we go in now, degozaru?" Jingu asked with her samurai accent.

"Yes, we don't need to waste time out here," Nero said.

"In front of the dungeon, with a bow on her back, there was a blond woman with shiny white skin, gozaru. It was shimmering and almost translucent. There wasn't a single flaw on her skin, which looked so fragile, like it could break at any moment, degozaru. The most striking thing about this woman who wore a veil were the two mountains below her chin. They were huge, gozaruyo! The worst part about them was that they were upright, completely defying the gravity of the earth, degozaru." Jingu finished her narration.

Jingu, what the hell was that all about?" Choko was in the mood to hit her now.

"Easy, easy, easy," Jingu smiled compassionately, "She's my friend, she wants to go to the dungeon too, but there's no staff and I invited her, okay? In fact, she's a level 6 archer,degozaru."

"What is her name," Nero asked.

"Honda Tadakatsu. She also comes from the same village as me, but she didn't want to be a samurai, degozaru," Jingu explained.

"Won't you need us anymore?" Maura had tears in her eyes.

Nero hugged her and said, "Little one, don't cry, no one said they don't need you anymore, okay."

The girl despaired and said in a low voice, "I- I'm dirty."

"Hehe, don't worry. If I don't care, why should you have to? In fact, if you don't want to be abandoned by the group, stay strong, only then will you not be despised by others. Mm, after we enter the dungeon, this big sister will teach you a flawless way to do that," Nero said with a smile.

Then, turning to Jingu, Nero said, "What are you waiting for, Jingu? Go call her!"

"Hai!." Jingu left.

"Honda, these are my teammates I told you about, degozaru." Jingu starts presenting them one by one.

"Hello, I'm a shy girl and I have a hard time relating to other people." The girl named Honda held her big breasts. "And that's because of my unnecessary big breasts, but please be friends with me." She bowed.

Jingu kicked Honda's fat ass and cursed, "Shy, my ass! Stop inventing a character that doesn't suit you, degozaru."

Standing up, rubbing her ass, she looked at Jingu hurt and complained, "And you with this 'Degozaru' here, 'Degozaru' there. It's so fucking annoying! Stop that yourself!"

"Tsk, tsk, this is my samurai way of being, gozaru," Jingu crossed her arms between her breasts and said confidently.

Choko interjected at this point, "Mm, I don't think there are any samurai left these days who talk like that. After all, that way of speaking came from the old days and 'gozaru' was literally the polite form of 'aru', only this was used for both people and inanimate objects. Currently, 'gozaru' is only used as a form of joke. No one takes it seriously anymore since it's something from an ancient dialect."

Jingu turned pale white. "Is that true?"

She didn't even use *Degozaru/gozaru* this time.

"Yes, unfortunately, it's true," Choko nodded.

"Well, if you like to talk like that, there's no real harm in it," Choko added.

"I, I..." Jingu was going to say something but was silent.

"Hahaha, I told you it wasn't even used anymore! You see, this is what you deserve for saying bad things about my big breasts!" Honda laughed out loud.

"Are you still going to keep using degozaru/gozaru?" Nero asked and added, "I particularly find it cute if you use it every once in a while."

"Serious?" Jingu's eyes sparkled.

Choko's radar flashed. She ran and stood in front of Nero with her arms outstretched.

"Choko?" Jingu looked at her strangely.

"...I don't know what happened. I just thought Nero was in danger and my body reacted by itself," Choko said embarrassed.

After registering as a party of 6 people, they paid and entered the dungeon.

The first floor was the same monsters from yesterday, all felines of different species. There were at most 100 of them, maybe a little more than yesterday. This meant that it has been a while since someone had challenged the dungeon and gave many of the cats time to be reborn.

'Well, I need 250. The more I have, the better. If possible I want to kill the Boss, too...' Nero had blood in her eyes.

Honda, with her honey-colored eyes, squinted at the sight of a lone level 5 feline. She took an arrow from her quiver and placed it on the bowstring. Pulling to the limit, the arrow was reinforced by the earth element.

*Whoosh!*

The arrow cut the wind and caught right in the middle of the cat's forehead.

"Good shot." Nero lifted her thumbs up.
