Chapter 4.2

Editor: Merry Christmas! We’re back! But for this holiday season, our schedules will be erratic . If nothing particularly troublesome happens, then we’ll be back to our regular schedule by the start of 2018 .

Translator: Merry X’mas for the people who celebrate it! So sorry, I was busy for the final a.s.signment to be graduated next year . So I will try my best again this year and also next year too!

Enjoy!

———-

By challenging the labyrinth repeatedly, I feel that I’m gradually getting used to handling monsters .

Well, to be specific, for someone who’s spent so much time playing games in my original world, encountering monsters didn’t shock me as much as it would have . As such, the idea of fighting monsters to survive was something open to me from the beginning .

It doesn’t matter what they look like; they’re all pretty much the same to me .

Ah, but sometimes, I do still get surprised by something . I mean, it’s not like every monster I encounter here also exists in some form in the games I’ve played .

While I spent my time leisurely by being nostalgic about video games, we managed to travel to the 19th floor without much difficulty . Well it’s because of Lastiara’s prodigious talent of laying waste to the enemies violently, though . I warned Lastiara to not get carried away, but she didn’t pay me any heed and just kept on fighting monsters on her own pace .

Then, as Lastiara was cheerfully trotting down the path, it appeared .

A ma.s.sive monster in the middle of the road .

A monster that stands on two legs and resembles a cow . The body is extremely flexible with brownish, hairy skin . Its eyes look very intimidating, and it stood there threateningly with a giant axe held with both hands .

Minotaur? Yeah, gotta be .

「Woah, what is that? A weird monster appeared!」

「Di, disgusting! And it’s enormous…」

Unlike me, Lastiara and Maria don’t have gaming experience, so it was their first time encountering a minotaur .

Then I use 『Display』on the Minotaur to see its details .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

【Monster】Carmine Minotaur: Rank 20

As I thought, its Minotaur!

… I sometimes feel that it’s strange how the displayed names are in the language I’m familiar with . The language and culture of this world is supposed to be different from my world, right? Somehow I feel a bit disappointed .

Anyway, after confirming its attributes, I inform Lastiara .

「The name of the monster is Carmine Minotaur . This beast is a power type . Do you want to face it?」

「Mmmー Maybe this time I will protect Maria from behind? I feel like Maria’s feeling down anyway」

That’s a surprise . Lastiara isn’t willing to fight this one and is leaving it to us . Is it because this is her first time encountering this kind of monster?

But I do realize what she’s trying to achieve after seeing Maria’s reaction…

「No, I’m fine . I prefer to be alone!」

「Wow! Since when did you start hating me? I thought yesterday was the start of our beautiful relations.h.i.+p!」

「You forced me to!」

「Hmmmーa nice, cold reaction! As they say, haste makes waste!」

While talking, Lastiara continues to make moves Maria until she was able to pull her into an unwilling hug .

「Hey! Please think the time and place for doing this!」

「I’m fully charged!ーSieg! Leave the rear to me!」

It looks like Lastiara really will just be a rearguard this time .

Well, it’s obvious why she’s doing this . She just wants to play with Maria . I kind of envy her, since she can have fun even within a dungeon .

Lastiara continues to hug Maria like a close friend . But Maria shouldn’t be weak to the point where she couldn’t just forcefully release herself . Though it might just be possible that the gap between their stats are just that big .

No matter . Feel calm, I step forward to face the minotaur .

The minotaur also walks closer while breathing roughly .

Rank 20 . This is the first time I’m dealing with a monster that high in rank .

Based on experience, rank indicates quality . From information I’ve heard in the bar and with what I’ve seen with 『Display』a monster’s rank is usually low . In other words, this Minotaur is a monster that needs someone of level 20 and above to face .

Just yesterday my level rose to level 11 . It’s hard to say what’ll happen . However, my attributes aren’t inferior against someone of level 20 . I mean, this should be a good fight .
