Vol. 4 - Ch. 244 - Feel it! Feel the power of <Refreshment> item!

"Man, that really hit the spot! It felt as refreshing as if a load had finally lifted off my chest!""Congratulations, I guess. You kept firing one skill after another like an inexhaustible machine."

These were Lana's feelings after we had taken down 20th floor F-BOSS, Jurra Torutoru. Sᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

One had to wonder how much frustration was accumulating inside her, as she was looking like the embodiment of perpetual motion machine.

In contrast, Ester, who had defeated the boss last time in a jiffy, was pitifully trying to reduce her presence.

Lana obviously stood out in the fight with her continuous buff after another, heal after heal.

She has come a long way, and unlike her past self who may use buff randomly without giving any second thought, she was actually thinking about timing and all recently.

But, why am I having this bit of empty feeling, even though it was supposed to be a happy event. Maybe, because she would no longer be the clumsy Lana I was familiar with at this rate...

"Ah! What's there? I'm going ahead to take a lookー一kyaa! What's this sticky liquid! Be careful everyone, there are traps!"

"Calm down, Lana-sama. It's just a monster's egg, and you have stepped on them."

On another note, her clumsiness definitely had to be deep-rooted.

Apparently, she found and rushed to the harvest point but stepped on eggs.

What's this relieved feeling bubbling inside me?

By the way, these eggs were the resources named <Monster Egg>, but don't go after the name, as they weren't given birth to by the monsters. They weren't unfertilized eggs either, but spontaneously produced eggs. As expected of the <Dungeon Activity> world. The common sense here is that eggs are a natural product, not laid. I was stunned silly the first time I heard it.

Anyway, these eggs' sole worth was as the ingredients used in cooking items. So we picked up unscathed eggs.

"But~, my legs are all slimy now."

"Fret not. Here, try this Refreshment."

I handed over my favourite disposal item Refreshment to our Her Highness who whimpered out in a deplorable voice.

This was kind of an item like the so-called Clean magic that was a template in light novels, which cleans the body and gives a refreshing feeling as if you have taken a bath. The best partner one could ask for in the dungeon.

Albeit, this wasn't that popular among females, as they prefer showers over this. It's quite a convenient item in my opinion.

"You really saved me there, Zephyr~."

Gah. I think I had just taken a trillion damage from her upturned eyes coupled with her whimpering tone. What a fearsome foe.

Though, it's a secret my heart skipped a beat at her mewl voice.

Lana's feet sparkled when she used Refreshment>

. No wait, her whole body is like purified, not just her feet. The effect never failed to amaze me.

"Hmm, this isn't quite bad. In fact, this is so good!"

"Right? it is also helpful in removing the dirt and smell etc like you have just taken a bath, not just on sweat or feeling sticky."

"Can you explain about that in detail, Zephyr?"

"Uwahh!"

Sierra had suddenly appeared behind me while I was explaining to Lana, giving me a scare. Good lord, I didn't feel her presence at all, what is she, a Ninja? Ah, but Ninja is Pamela, not her.

No wait, why did she look so serious? Did something happen?

"Zephyr-kun, why did you hide such an amazing item!"

"Even Hannah too...? No, I sure did explain it before though. That it gives the same effect as if you have taken a shower even without taking one actually."

"...... I think I remember."

I had explained it before, but it seems like it had slipped out of their mind.

After all, girls like baths, of course I also like taking baths, but apparently the words "you don't have to expressively take a shower with this" must have made no sense to them.

I see, I finally understand the psychology of females wanting to take shower after returning from the dungeon. The way I introduced it was simply not clear enough. Hmm, A mystery was resolved.

"Do you guys want to use it?"

"...... Thank you for your offer."

"Y, Yess, thank you, Zephyr-kun."

In this way, the matter of sharing the item with Sierra, Hannah and also Ester ended without any incident.

My words, the serious expression of the girl's group was nothing to scoff at.

The girl's group quickly used the Refreshment and checked out the effect. Though, I had to look away as they were ascertaining the smell by smelling which reminded me of dogs.

"I see, this certainly is effective. I'm ashamed for failing to notice this."

"You're right. I really feel like a bit of my fatigue has faded away."

Sierra and Ester were impressed as well. Hmm, I knew they would like it after giving it a try.

I was equally happy seeing they have finally understood the importance of Refreshment.

"We're done with refreshing, let's hurry back to our hunt!"

"What's this inexplicable connection between hunt and refreshment?"

I don't quite get this, but anyway, there's no reason for me to refuse her request.

Alright, hunting time!

"You're getting it wrong, I mean there's a monster over there! Our first 21st floor monster!"

"Oh, that's what you meant. Alright, battle ready everyone!"

As ever, Lana was the first one to notice the monster. Seriously, what kind of sense of smell she has.

I also gave a shout to the girl's group who were checking out the item effect and began preparing for battle.

"But where is it, Lana? I don't see it anywhere... "

"Over there, behind the boulder. I can kind of feel its gaze."

A large boulder was enshrined where Lana had pointed out to.

The boulder was giving quite a sense of alienation in a grassy field. Certainly, It could easily hide 3 or 4 monsters easily with that size, but there shouldn't be a monster capable of hiding itself, much less watch over the situation as far as my memory goes. Atleast, it shouldn't be in Jurrapa.

But, if it's Lana who was used to being the centre of attention saying that she can feel the gaze, then there ought to be someone.

Could it be a person? But Zezelthon-san said no students had entered. No wait, could it be they entered while we're busy dealing with F-BOSS? Hmmhmm…

Hold on, F-BOSS, F-BOSS... How did I forget that!

"I remembered. I know the identity of our opponent! Our opponent is none other than the wandering type field boss of this dungeon, Jurra Rex!"

"Hm一一!! Field boss!?"

No sooner had Lana looked at me with an astonished expression as if saying "seriously?", Boom!, A giant shadow showed its presence pulverizing the huge boulder.

It was the wandering type field boss that randomly loiter around from the floor 21st to 29th. A mighty bipedal monster with a big head on its body as it exudes an unmatched pressure, and also, the last trump card by the dungeon to thwart away any of the intruder from reaching the deepest floor. The name was, Jurra Rex.

Seriously, are we really going to face the wandering type right from the get-go?

I never had expected the situation to unfold in a third consecutive field boss battle!
