Volume 1 - CH 19

"Hey, Lilia, you're still awake?"

"Yes, I am. I want to go to bed with my master. And being alone with that pervert woman is something ......."

When he came out of the bathroom, He found Lilia propped up on the dining table.

He told her that she could go to bed first, but she seemed to have been waiting for him.

When he lifted Lilia from the table, her face was pale and her eyes were watery.

"You look sleepy. Why don't we go to bed normally today? You're tired, right? I'm tired today. I'm sure you're even more sleepy now that you've loosened up."

"No, ...... at least let me serve you. I know it's hard for you to keep it all bottled up."

"It's hard to say, but ...... the dungeon is more important. I'll be patient. I'm not going to let Lilia get tired. Let's get some sleep."

A cool-headed Mars thinks that he should sleep to regain his strength and be in perfect condition to take on the challenge.

Having been reincarnated and having two lives, Mars is good at switching his thoughts.

When he was using his head, he was in his twenty-nine year old self, and when he wasn't, he was in his seventeen year old self.

The upper limit of physical strength was different between Mars and Lilia. Lilia, in particular, seemed to be the type of person who didn't speak even when she was tired.

He have a sex drive, but he can put up with it. Worst case scenario, He just have to handle it himself.

"……If you don't keep your head clear, that perverted woman will try to seduce you, you know?"

"Lilia is jealous, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am. I can't stop thinking about it."

"――I like big tits. I especially like burying my face in your breast. It's really soothing to be pampered by Lilia. ...... Hazuki-chan is a flat."

Lilia looked relieved and then wet her lips with the tip of her tongue.

That action was so sexual that Mars couldn't help but feel aroused.

"Then I'll give you a good paizuri today.♥ You did very well during the day. That perverted woman doesn't seem to notice, but it's because of Mars that we made it this far without a major battle."

"Oh, really? I couldn't do it during the day, so I really wanted to ask you. ――You have to be very careful inside the dungeon. If we had to fight every single battle, we wouldn't have enough energy to make it to the lower levels. We're still fine because we have this [Treasure House of Dreams], but I'm sure Xerius and the others are in trouble. I don't think they're getting much rest."

When Mars first conquered the dungeon, his biggest enemies were sleep and food.

This was because he was alone and had no one to guard him. There was no treasury at that time, so he had to carry a mountain of food on his back.

Mars was using a homemade alarm made of string and cans, and was moving with only about an hour's sleep at most, while keeping a watchful eye on the demons in the passageways.

He was accustomed to moving in less time, partly because he had always had insomnia.

Xerius and the others would be in a similar situation if it was their first time to capture the deungeon, although they were not alone.

There are a number of other problems as well.

It was to be expected that he would get into fights with his tired friends over trivial things.

Mars understood that keeping stress at bay was more important than preparing the forces for the dungeon attack.

In that sense, Hazuki's method of refreshment could not be denied.

"You don't have to ask me. All you have to do is give me the order. I'll do it whenever it pleases Mars."

"I think I'm just barely alive. With that kind of skill, I can handle most things. Unless you've been near the bottom.――I didn't tell you this because I'm not into scaring people, but there is a boss at the bottom level. This is something you might not be aware of. If you meet the boss and survive, you can conquer it. Dead men tell no tales."

"Boss?"

Mars remembered what had happened in [Ganymede].

The closer you get to the bottom level, the stronger the demons are.

The basics of a dungeon is a pyramid, and the lower you go, the larger the entire floor becomes, and only the strongest and largest of the larger demons remain.

Since moving between the levels was possible even for demons, unlike in the game, it felt like a naturally occurring caste rather than a deliberate placement by someone.

Both demons and humans like to go to places where they feel comfortable.

A dungeon is like a poisoned jar, and only the strongest individuals can survive in the lower levels.

The strongest of them all is the boss.

They're is the apex predator in the dungeon.

"Yes. Ganymede was a giant snake-like demon. It was sleeping in the middle of a huge hall. It used magic, and it's poisonous liquid would melt the walls, so it was pretty strong."

"H-How did you manage to win all by yourself? How did Master defeat It? With lightning magic, after all?"

"No, just with a sword. I'm not very good with magic, or rather, I can only use a few of them."

"!? Then where did you get the name [Thunder]!?"

"You'll know it when you see it. It might be too hard for Lilia, so I'll tell you before I do it."

"Y-yes. ...... Master is a real mystery."

"It's always cool to have a secret or two, right?"

――It's hard to explain.

Because in the case of Mars, it was because he was reincarnated that he realized it.

Those who live in this world normally don't notice it as much.

And there is not enough time. When you realize it, you can't do it anymore.

It's a technique that he was able to do it because he knew how to do it efficiently from the time he was born.

The reason he base his thinking on his time in the modern world is so that he doesn't get lost in the crowd. Different values are valuable. The values of modern Japan, which are not of this world, can no longer be obtained once lost.

Also, it is very difficult to obtain knowledge and information from this world. It makes you realize how convenient the Internet society has become.

In the poor farming village where Mars is from, you have to work voluntarily to get information. And by "voluntarily," he mean by paying money.

In a world ruled by aristocrats, it is normal to control speech and it is difficult to get books.

Despite the external factors, because he has not been tainted by the norms of this world, Mars retains his current power, which is so powerful that he can conquer dungeons by himself.

In the seventeen years since he was born, Mars has refined his power in the most efficient way possible, a power that everyone in this world thinks they have perfected and mastered.

If it were not for his modern knowledge, he would have been reaching for various things just like any other human being.

――I don't need any of God's reincarnation perks.

As long as he have this memory, it's more than enough to be a cheat.
