Volume 10 Chapter 1 PaRT 3



But since I don’t have a Cook Job equipped, I have no expectations about it at all.

Now then, let’s go and see how many repetitions we’re going to need to have the Black Diamond Tuna drop its rare Drop Item. For the first few rounds I’m not going to equip Cook to see how well are we going to do, and if it goes poorly, then I am going to equip Cook and hope that it’s going to help finish the grind that much quicker.

This time finishing as quickly as possible is not my goal, so having no Cook Job equipped is fine. I don’t want to spoil Miria too much by making her think that obtaining rare drops from Floor Bosses is an easy feat. She needs to see that getting a rare drop is a hard work, because otherwise, she’s going to be asking for the rare drops over and over again.

「That being said, I guess it might be just a tad bit too difficult, huh?」

After around ten repetitions of the Boss battle, Black Diamond Tuna still didn’t drop its rare Drop Item. I would’ve understood if it was two or three, but isn’t that quite a lot now?

「If we’re lucky we might get it soon, but even I wasn’t expecting that it’s going to be that bad.」

「Let’s do it, desu!」

Sherry and Miria answer me.

For example, even if the probability of getting the Rare Drop would be one to ten, it still doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to get the rare drop for sure once every ten times.

Is that what Sherry was trying to say? That being said, maybe its about time for the luck to turn around and give us what we wanted? At the same time, I also realized that telling Miria that it is difficult to get a rare drop from a Floor Boss is pretty much useless.

That’s right. The rare drop is not the only thing that Miria wants here. Miria wants to keep fighting against the Black Diamond Tuna, because she finds the battle against it to be fun.

It’s the opposite of that one saying: hate the priest, and you will hate his very vestments. Miria likes the Drop Item left by the Black Diamond Tuna, and so she likes the Black Diamond Tuna itself as well, which is doubly true for her since that is a fish-type monster. And besides, even if fighting it normally might be difficult, there is always a chance of it getting petrified.

In that sense, it must be pretty fun for her.

And even if the drop that we’re going to get is not a Fatty Tuna, we’re still going to get our hands on Lean Tuna, which is going to be just as delicious too.

Even after ten unsuccessful attempts at getting it, Miria still doesn’t show any signs of disgust on her face. She still looks like she’s full of motivation.

It certainly looks delicious, but it probably cannot be used for sashimi, since apparently there is no custom of making it in this world. With the exception of the Kobold Salt, I’m not even sure if you’re supposed to eat raw ingredients that you’ve found in the Labyrinths.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

Let’s not do anything dangerous and steer clear of any potential threats. However, I wonder what would have happened if I whispered into Miria’s ear that these things can also be eaten raw? Would that be a human experiment?

Let’s not go that way then.

I have to resign myself from having soy sauce as well.

「But you know... is this going to be enough for everyone?」

Even if its not, it’ll just be a matter of dividing it all equally between the five of us. In the worst-case scenario, it should be enough for a one-course dish for us.

「......」

Miria remains speechless. She didn’t even confirm whether or not this much fish is going to be enough for us. Personally, I don’t think that this is going to be enough, but maybe I’m actually demanding too much?

We had some white meat yesterday, and we’re having the Whole Fish as a celebratory meal whenever we’re breaking through another floor of the Labyrinth. However, I feel like it has been on our table too many times already.

This is going to be our very first time eating a Fatty Tuna, so I think that Miria would want to eat a lot of it. I want to eat a lot of it too, but if we don’t get enough, then Miria is simply going to eat too much of it without leaving anything for the rest of us.

「I think it would be better if we got a second one after all.」

「Yes, that might be preferable.」

Roxanne answered as the representative of the group. It looks like both her and the others don’t want the amount of the food on our table to be reduced.

「We should still have some time, so we might as well try fighting the Floor Boss a few more times. Shall we go?」

After exiting the twenty-third floor after entering it once, we immediately went back with a 「Field Walker」to repeat the Floor Boss battle a few more times.

Once again, I apply 「Abnormal Status Resist Down」onto the Black Diamond Tuna and leave it to the girls while I myself make my way to confront the extra that was summoned along with it. I will challenge the Floor Boss as well, but only after taking care of the small fry first.
