Chapter 108: I think detailed depictions can be a problem when they get too specific. Apparently, they were floating…
Day 41 Morning, on the road.
It seems with the increase in speed from leveling up I will be able to easily reach the destination even without flying, which is nice since I don't enjoy crash landings.
And since unusually there are no carriages under attack, we are moving at a steady pace.
As a result of the meeting, it was decided that both for the sake of experience points and the peace of the town it would be better to proactively enter dungeons. So today we are going for an inspection.
Later on, we will gather parties, and depending on the circumstances, go for a raid, but first, we split, and are going to check the nearby dungeons acting in parties.
There are only two of us. We are all on our own, but I won't do anything strange. Yes, I was categorically warned against that. I won't do it, okay?
Probably?
Yes, I won't. That's why I'm walking in front.
Even geeks and idiots agreed that this sight is too tempting. Well, naturally, I crushed the eyes that were looking at her with weird thoughts.
After all, those hips visible from time to time through the gaps in her cloak are No, it's nothing. I didn't look at anything! I was just reminiscing!
Looks like Armored Pres-san is getting along with the girls, and is now often called for their girls-only gatherings. They are taking baths together, probably making a lot of noise there as well, and it also seems to me that she is gradually getting better at speaking.
She also seems to want to cook with me, but it looks like even Armored Pres-san can't cook at all. Which is not surprising. Some of the girls were from the cooking club, but apparently, their cooking over here isn't good at all.
That being the case, it is entirely possible that just like jobs give positive adjustments to combat abilities, they also could be giving negative adjustments to crafting-type actions.
If that's the case then my classmates, all of whom have combat-type jobs, are doomed Grilling a fish or cutting a salad seems to be their limit.
If so, it would be incredibly difficult for Armored Pres-san to learn how to cook, since she always had a combat-type job, and basically got to the apex of it. I'd like to teach her cooking, but I don't understand the mechanics behind negative adjustments
Even so, she seems to be happy surrounded by the girls, smiling and laughing in delight, so the small details don't matter. She spent so long in the darkness, all alone. It's fine if she just has fun without concerning herself with difficult stuff.
Even the girls are desperate in their laughter, trying to recover They are doing their best to smile, since there is no way that now, when things finally calmed down, they won't think about their families, homes, school, and friends.
It turned out to be shabby. The entrance is narrow and inside it resembles a limestone cavern. This is no good at all. There is nothing to even check out, no rooms, no layout, no point to even waste efforts on remodeling.
But The humidity level is also uncomfortably high, probably because the river water is leaking into the cave from somewhere. Not suited for living.
Aah, I don't care anymore. The moment I saw the entrance I lost all interest. That's not how it was supposed to be. It's far worse than my forest cave.
I wouldn't compare it to 1F of the great dungeon, but this just won't do.
Even if I expand the entrance, if the interior is too narrow then it's all for nothing. The shape also lacks appeal. Even the floor seems like it can hardly be leveled.
This dungeon is useless, right? No problem with destroying it? We can come for treasure boxes at a later date?
It seems Armored Pres-san doesn't quite get it but she is nodding anyway, so I guess it is fine to destroy this place. Since ex-Dungeon Emperor-san is saying that it's fine, then even the current dungeon master of this place won't be able to complain.
Since it's useless then there is no point in exploring it. Let's go with the siege of Takamatsu route. The humidity is too high anyway, so it should be fine. [1]
A carefree barbeque by a riverside. BBQ with a beautiful girl by my side. Although she is wearing full-plate armor, it can be said that one of my highschool boy dreams came true.
When I handed her skewers with grilled meat she began happily eating them. Since she had to take off her helmet for that, she looks like a proper beautiful girl. Though it's still a mystery for how many eons she is 17 years old, but a beautiful girl. Yes, since she is cute there is no problem at all!
Now, it's been 2 hours since the dungeon went underwater. I wonder how much time it takes for monsters to drown? The great dungeon had frogs and sharks. I think even a lizard would probably be okay?
And now that I think of it, I'm not sure if I ever heard of skeletons dying from drowning?
And as I continue munching on a barbecue with those thoughts, the presence coming from the dungeon disappeared. Did it die?
Well, that can wait until we finish eating. The next is grilled fish on skewers.
Armored Pres-san, who was giving me a flat gaze since I began flooding the dungeon, was now engrossed with eating grilled meat, so the dungeon can be left for later. And it's damp there
And looks like the dungeon master was neither a fish nor an amphibian. But if by some chance they are a reptilian, would they come back once the water is drained? Along with the dungeon?
[TL Notes: [1] Siege of Takamatsu (1582), during the siege, Toyotomi Hideyoshi resorted to flooding the castle by diverting a nearby river. ]
