Day 37 Nighttime, The White Weirdo Inn
It was delicious!
It was, but he got away
Yes, to prevent him from escaping we took an encircling position in the dining hall to make sure that this time he certainly won't get away and we will be able to properly tell him off. But the formation was easily destroyed.
By the first rice and onigiri in a month.
Everyone was crying.
It was so delicious, so nostalgic. Until just one month ago we were eating it every day, but by now we completely gave up on ever eating rice again. But he found it.
It seems that Haruka-kun once again made a killing without our notice, and using this money loaned funds and goods to the local general store and the weapon store, in turn raking easy money from the whole town, no, the whole country.
Here we thought that the town looks more lively than before, and turns out, he began economic domination here. One cannot relax even for a moment with him. And today we understood one of the reasons for that. It was for the sake of rice.
He made it into onigiri to feed everyone and brought it to us. We would've gladly helped if he only told us, but since he wanted to surprise everyone he worked all alone to make enough portions for 30 people.
And like that, we can't get angry at him anymore, as always. We always end up smiling.
In reality, if Haruka-kun didn't climb up, we all would've been dead. This is a fact. That was completely our own miscalculation.
By all rights Haruka-kun should've been waiting on the lower floors. After all, he was only Lv12. He is weak. Even he himself is constantly saying I'm dead if I get hit even once, even though he is the last person who should be fighting.
even though he is the one risking the most, and furthermore, he was all alone.
That's why we had to go to his rescue. That's why he absolutely should've waited. That's why we had to press on to reunite with him as soon as possible.
And yet, he climbed up on his own Even though it's dangerous. Even though he is the one in the biggest danger. He says that he was completely fine, but that is certainly a total lie.
He surely was doing something dangerous. He definitely came close to dying a dozen, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times.
The biggest proof of that is that he once again became stronger.
If we were to compare it to traveling, then Haruka-kun is a fast runner, and he is getting even faster. But everyone around It can be said that in this world if you raise your level, your speed, your entire approach, can change as much as switching to a bike, or a car, or even a plane.
And yet Haruka-kun keeps running on his own two feet. Since he can't ride anything, he just keeps improving his legs Basically.
Oda-kun said with a vexed look. That's why his strength is irregular, unreliable.
It is merely for this moment, while everyone is still not used to handling their cars, bikes, or planes, he seems so fast, overtaking everyone. But he can't keep doing this forever. Eventually, when this won't work, it will lead to his death! Such a forced rush cannot be okay.
It is surely dangerous. Even though he shouldn't even be fighting.
But with Dungeon Emperor-san he might be okay? They were super strong?!
That was amazing! And they are only level 10 at that?!
Although I'm not sure if I approve of his use of taming, this made things a lot safer for him. He got himself the strongest bodyguard. They are Dungeon Emperor after all.
But they can't protect him all on their own. They are physically incapable of prolonged fights, so they are not suited for protecting someone. They both don't have the power to take a hit. So in the end it is just two glass cannons instead of one.
But it seems Haruka-kun got a lot of cheat items?His items look the same, and they might not look impressive since it's just a villager set, but I heard that he fused tons of powerful items from the lowest floors with it, getting loads of special powers?I'm telling you, he is a lot safer than before, rather, his danger for the surroundings rose!The magic that he used on the 56th floor is not something that he should be able to use on his own!Normally, 200MP would be nowhere near enough to even activate such a spell.
At the very least, his killing power rose again.
He became stronger, once again. With his strength still twisted and irregular, it is his destructive power that simply keeps growing.
Even though that is one of the dangers to him.
Still as frail as before, he gets more power. Even though he doesn't have the capacity to withstand that.
Even though using such power at such a low level will surely ruin his body?
Even though I'm telling him to stop doing dangerous things He still always comes to our rescue.
Even though I'm telling him that it is dangerous He probably will still do it again.
And for that he will keep risking, trying to get even stronger. I'm sure of it.
