Chapter 73

Chapter 73. 8th Floor (1)

After a two-day break, the next day of the week.

As usual, we gathered in front of the dungeon, and I returned the Black Clothes to Kazane.

“Thank you, Daichi-kun. ...... Hey, did you smell it by any chance?”

Kazane-san asked me with a mischievous smile.

“Wha, what? Most dungeon equipment is automatically purified, so even if you smell it, the smell of the person wearing it won’t remain.”

“Oh, you know because you’ve tried it!”

“No, no, that’s not true. ......”

“I’m not mad at you, so why don’t you tell me the truth?”

“Yes, I’m sorry. Yes, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“Well done. Daichi-kun is a pervert. But forgive him, onee-san.”

Kazane-san patted my head.

Damn, she treated me like a child.

I’ll remember that the next time you make out with me.

“It’s hot again today, even early in the morning.”

Yuzuki, who was watching the situation, was looking up with her hands flapping as usual.

Hmm, what a pity.

With such early morning warm-up talk, we changed into the locker room and headed for the dungeon.

Today was our first attempt at the 8th floor.

We landed at the relay point using the transfer magic circle and descended to the 5th, 6th, and 7th floors.

We entered the dungeon around 9:00 in the morning and reached the 8th floor around 10:30.

Assuming that I would work 8 hours a day, I would have a net of about 5 hours to explore the eighth layer, taking into account the return journey.

The 8th floor is the lowest floor of the forest floors.

Like the 4th cave floor, the boss is waiting for us.

While gazing at the forest dungeon scenery, which remained unchanged as usual, we continued to explore the dungeon on foot.

After a while, we encountered the first group of monsters on the 8th floor.

7 giant vipers.

We succeeded in clearing this one away without any particular problem.

It was a monster formation that also appeared on the 7th floor.

Incidentally, in this battle, Kazane-san was hit once in the abdomen by a poison fang attack.

“Well, the black armor is still amazing. Giant viper’s fangs didn’t even get through.”

Kazane-san was completely unharmed.

The Black Clothes Kazane-san equips completely blocked the damage caused by giant viper’s poisonous fangs.

Naturally, she wasn’t poisoned.

It was like the cheat-level armor came into its own.

In addition, next to her, Yuzuki proudly stretched out her modest-sized breasts and smiled broadly.

“Hahahahaha! Giant viper is already a small fry. After all, it’s one shot with my[Burn Blaze].”

“Ah. If the swarms weren’t scattered around, I could round them up with that. But it’s great that we can get through without Kazane-san’s [Windstorm]. It’s a big deal.”

“Right, right! Senpai can praise me more and more. You can stroke my head as much as you want.”

“Oh, wow, wow, wow. As expected of Yuzuki.

“Heh heh heh, heh heh heh...”

When I patted her head, Yuuki became fluffy.

I’m glad she seems happy.

Last week’s level-up boosted Yuzuki’s magical power by 5 points.

Add to that the effect of the Sorcery Staff’s increased magic power, and she now had enough magic attack power to destroy a swarm of giant vipers with a single [Burn Blaze] shot.

With this, there was almost no need to worry about Kazane-san running out of MP.

That did not mean that Kazane-san’s [Windstorm] became useless.

We encountered 5 death spiders.

These were the same monsters we could encounter on the 7th floor, and they weren’t unique to the 8th floor.

Death spiders were moving their 8 legs at high speed as they attacked us.

“Let’s go, Hotaru-chan... [Windstorm]!”

“Got it, Kazane-san... [Burn Blaze]!”

The magic of the two seekers is triggered almost simultaneously, and the giant spiders are engulfed in a storm of fires.

The ranged magic attack that engulfed 4 of the 5 spiders annihilated all 4 of them together.

“Oosh! If Kazane-san and I play well together, even death spiders are just small fries!”

Death spider, a more durable and powerful enemy than a giant viper, couldn’t be eliminated with a single Yuzuki’s [Burn Blaze].

That is where Kazane-san’s [Windstorm] comes in.

When the two attack magics overlap, even a death spider is no match for it.

Incidentally, at the stage of the week before last, death spider couldn’t be destroyed even if two attack magics were stacked on each other.

I can see that he has matured in this area.

And the remaining one is.

“Kazane-san!”

“Yes, Daichi-kun!”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

My spear sharply gouges the giant spider’s torso, and Kazane-san’s two daggers quickly slice through the spider’s body.

With the combination of our two weapon attacks, we easily defeated the last one.

“””Yay!”””

The three of them clap their hands together and rejoice in their victory.

The first two battles of the eighth layer were off to a good start.

Let’s keep moving forward at this rate.
