So many questions, and it does not look like the answers to them are going to be anywhere near in sight.

The monster from the twelfth floor is Pig Hog.

Do you know about it?

Just that. I do not know any other details.

The Pig Hog is an earth attribute monster. It has resistance to Earth Magic, and can use Earth Magic itself. Water Magic is its weak point.

Sherry gives us an explanation.

I only knew the name of it because of Identify, I do not know anything else about it, so I guess it was a stroke of luck that I was able to defeat it the way I did, because it saved me from looking like a complete fool in front of Roxanne and Sherry again.

Also, its Drop Item is Pork Ribs. The ingredients for tonights dinner have officially been decided. I need to recover a bit of MP with Durandal, so we went to the eleventh floor of Harubas Labyrinth to do that.

While there, I slaughtered some Minos and recovered MP, but I was doing that, a certain thought popped into my mind: if Pig Hogs leave Pork Ribs when they are killed, then why are Minos not dropping Beef Ribs, or any kind of food item that has something to do with beef? If they did that, then we might have sold them at a butchers shop.

I calm down after recovering some MP. Beef Ribs would be nice. I want to eat them so badly now that I started thinking about them. Where would they come from? Where can I get them from.

I can fight on the thirteenth floor with Meteor Crash and Durandal, and as a general rule, I should fight stronger monsters to improve myself and increase the levels of my Jobs. In that case, should I make the thirteenth floor of Tares Labyrinth my permanent hunting ground?

But in my case, I need to consider my EXP and skills. If I want to keep on using Durandal, Alchemists Plating, and Warriors Rush, then I am definitely going to be forced to sacrifice some of my EXP increasing Skills in order to continue doing so. Overusing Meteor Crashalso does not seem like that good of an idea, because there is always a chance that I might end up being seen by someone, and if I will be busted like that, then it is going to be all over for me.

Is it bad to make a recovery position if I dont have enough vanguards? The number of people is not enough.

Master. Master!

Roxannes voice fades in as I think about it. I had not noticed it.

Sorry. What is the matter?

There was a message on the door. It is from Luke. He seems to have made a successful bid on a Rabbit Skill Crystal.

While we were in the labyrinth, a messenger seems to have come from the broker, Luke.

Oh. Rabbit? Rabbit Skill Crystal gives Chant Delay, right?

Yes, thats right.

Sherry confirms it. It can become Chant Interruption if fused together with the Kobold Skill Crystal. If I put Chant Interruption on Sherrys weapon, it will help my strategy. She will be able to cancel the spell from the Green Caterpillar Lv.11 as well. The long-distance attack from the Rub Shrubs cant be prevented though. Theres nothing we can do about long distance attacks. The skills and magic can be prevented after we get close, so even that much would be good.

This is going to increase out battle potential even further, and I absolutely cannot wait for it!

However, we still have a number of thongs to do before we go get that Skill Crystal. First, I had Sherry make some equipment using the planks that we have obtained, then we had dinner, after which I washed every part of Sherry and Roxannes bodies quite thoroughly during our bath, then I had them inspect my body to see if it has been properly washed, and after that we had some fun in the bed that ended up with us feeling exhausted, but satisfied, so all three of us fell asleep rather quickly.

On the next morning, we followed up our daily routine of waking up, going to the Labyrinth to do some grinding and exploring, then I was off to deliver yet another mirror from Palmasque to the Duke in Bode, and when I went back home and we had breakfast, I had Sherry make some equipment again. See, that was a lot of things to do, and it is just the morning, and there are still more of them to do.

Now that we finished eating dinner and Sherry is about to do another round of her Master Smith training, I will have to go to the Merchants Guild in Quratar.
