Chapter 75: Demons are sly and treacherous, trying to deceive people aiming for their weaknesses. I know it because this guy went for my Affection Rating.
Day 31? The Faraway Labyrinth, 82F
A short nap. I put up a monster-repelling tent, set up traps around, and what's more important, there is Armored Pres guarding me. No one would be able to attack me! This is the safest place in the dungeon!
But for a tent to turn out to be the safest place in the other world?
It might be a drag, but I must've leveled up already. Both Skeleton?-san and I should've gotten quite a few levels.

As I thought, my abilities are trying to make a speedy mage out of me. What, am I supposed to charge at enemies or something? Strengthen and speed up with magic and then launch myself at the enemies? This world is so strange.
However, I didn't expect I'd get 4 levels! Isn't this place just crazy? In just a few days, 4 levels! Well, there are levels 100 and 99 all over the place.
Though I didn't fight them, I did manage to exterminate them, so it must have gotten me a lot of XP.
A whole bunch of skills changed. I don't even know how they are different. Apex Thinking Lv 1seems to be the fusion of other thinking-type skills Parallel ThinkingSerial ThinkingQuick Thinking? Holdingis Packing-san?
The name changed so much that I didn't recognize who it was at first. Movement turned intoTeleportation. I can now use Teleportation magic? I wouldn't know unless I practice with it, but failure is extremely dangerous.
I suffered so much even with Movement. It's very risky. I should level it up very carefully. Since it's me I certainly would end up inside a wall or something.
But it seems that I'm now beyond HP Recovery and going to regenerate instead. Does it mean that I now can grow new limbs if I lose them? Doesn't sound like something a human would do
The growth of combat type skills is also amazing. Well, since I was personally trained by the master of this dungeon it was expected. Those skills were otherworldly. Even though this is already another world.
Okay, time to get up.
Good morning? Nothing happened?? You aren't sleepy? You sure you don't need a nap?
She nodded repeatedly.
I'm not sure if it's right to have my tamed one go for days without sleep or food, but since I'm showering her with jewelry she makes for an expensive employee. I'm sure even the labor standards bureau would have nothing against this. Or rather, how about my status as a NEET despite working this hard?
Unforgivable.
By the way, Armored Pres, of course, also leveled up.

The monsters on 80F is self-proclaimed boss Demon Sword Master Lv 100. Judging by the name, it's a demon that mastered the way of the sword. I'd be quite pissed if it used a spear despite that. No, since it's a demon it just might do that.
The main point about demons is not their strength but their craftiness and cunning. Deceit and treachery are their true nature. It wouldn't be strange even if it had a club instead.
It's perhaps as sly and as evil as a demon. Well, it is a demon after all. It is doubtful even a demon would even fight seriously in the first place. It is probably going to use traps, poison, pitfalls, or even toxic vapors.
Hmm, I feel like we might just get along. Get along well enough to travel the world in search of affection rating together. Demon-san must be getting lectured every day as well.
Or so I thought, but what a disappointment, he just jumped at me with a sword. What about traps? And you call yourself a demon? Aren't you just an ordinary swordmaster?
But doesn't this make a demon look like a better person than me? Why is a demon so honest and upright? Think about how it makes me look?! I'm totally more of a villain!
Ah, I got it! This demon is trying to raise its own Affection Rating by putting me down! Unforgivable. Absolutely unforgivable.
Fierce fighting spirit, the stance without any flaws, the mere pressure is enough to make one back down.V/\\IssT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n)./ for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Raising the sword in an overhead position, the demon then brings it down at a terrifying speed, without any warning.
*THUD*
Well, since it fell into a pitfall, time to beat the hell out of it. I won't allow you to raise your Affection Rating on your own. Absolutely.
Damn it, such a devious person. How dare he try to lower my Affection Rating by trying to look good. Or rather, not a person, a demon. How dare he show off like that!
A mere demon!
In response, I got only a flat gaze. From her holding a sword with both hands, I can guess that she probably was expecting a fight? But what can I do if it falls down? While trying to drop my Affection Rating?
Who can blame me for dropping such an evil demon? In the first place, boasting to be a swordmaster and yet being so careless, serves it right! Swordmaster my ass, apologize to the jobless!
You can be Lv 100, or a demon, or swordmaster, or whatever you want, but I absolutely won't forgive anyone who tries to bring my Affection Rating down. And by absolutely I mean ABSOLUTELY!
I simply was protecting my Affection Rating. It's basically a self-defense. I did nothing wrong.
A magic stone and a sword?
Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds (Sword of Kusanagi) Divine Sword, Eradicates Evil, PoW SpE DeX LuK 30% Up ? ? ? [1]
A divine sword it says. It eradicates evil it seems
No, you are the evil here! A fiend! A literal demon! And it is already eradicated Why did a demon even have a divine sword?
Of course, it will get eradicated, that is basically suicidal behavior! I'm not to blame here.
Just what was that? What was it trying to do? What was it thinking? Probably nothing.
Just like the idiots. Aah, they could've gotten along as fellow dum-dums.
A demon would be obviously weakened if it uses a divine sword. At least think a bit when you pick your weapon? Why would a demon have a holy sword? Didn't it feel any discomfort?
Why couldn't it just be like a normal demon and have a normal cursed sword? Actually, where did a demon even get such a sword? Who? Who was it, who gave a demon a holy sword?
Is it bullying? Was the demon sword master actually bullied?
