Vol. 3 - Chapter 183 - Round—Karua’s Time!

"Hnn. <Vital Stab>!"

"Gege!?"

"It's down! Nice shot, Karua! Time to go all-out everyone!"

"...... Throb-throb... Throb."

Everyone hurls their strongest attacks at my order and boss’ HP drops to 0 and disappears.

It's the 20th time so we have already become used to this scene. Though, it's really hard not to laugh no matter how many times I look at the scene of a chubby <Fat Ball Ghost> like daruma withering away.

We are currently grinding for the boss <Fat Ball Ghost> in the <Ghost Cave Dungeon>.

Originally, our plan was just to clear away the dungeon once and not grind but we changed our plan when Karua equipped the Ice attribute dagger, <Ice Me>. Hence the <Fat Ball> hunting.

"V!"1

"Karua has come to play an active role"

"Yeah, to the point I'm jealous."

Rika, the only one who doesn't have any means of dealing attribute damage to <Ghost-Like Characteristics>, looks at Karua with envious gaze. Since there are very few jobs which make it possible to equip katanas, the specific drops are hard to get.

To say nothing about finding a katana blessed with attributes so easily.

<Samurai Princess> do have all sorts of attribute attack skills when they’ve unlocked the third order tree but I guess she must have wanted to use it while she's still at the 2nd order tree.

That's why this time Rika is only playing the tank role with her taunt skills.

On the other hand, Karua's performance after she got the attribute weapon on her hand was spectacular.

Although she only has one weapon for her twin dagger fighting style, she defeated those tiny ghosts in the twinkling of an eye thanks to the fast moves she possesses in her arsenal.

Just as we finished collecting all our drops, I sensed the presence of people from the door side.

Seems like there are people waiting for the boss room to be free. That's quite rare. I wonder if they are freshmans? I was a bit curious so I slightly strained my ears to eavesdrop.

"I'm sure if it's our muscle, we will be able to make a breakthrough against the <Fat Ball Ghost Special>!"

"That's right! It's now our time to show our reborn muscles, just like a magnificent phoenix after nirvana!"

"No way in hell we are going to lose against a ghost's muscle! We will show that it's no match for the beauty of real muscles!"

"Muscles are amazing! Heave-ho!"

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

...... Crap.

It's the <Machos> guild of muscle-san. I couldn't be wrong about this.

But heave-ho, heave-ho is...... This completely sounds like they have come to participate in the festival. You will suffer utter defeat again, don't they get it?

Somehow, I feel like it's not a sign of good omen to encounter them now in various senses.

Yes, let's return. To our guild.

"? What's the matter, Zephyr?"

"Nothing, shall we go back?"

"? Well, okay"

I urged Lana who seems to have a question mark floating on her head at my strange behavior and returned through teleportation.

T/N : V as V for victory. As you have seen Karua's listless speech, like hnn at the beginning of every sentence etc, V is another form to shorten her words.
