2-10. Labyrinth of Demon 3 (1/2)
2-10. Labyrinth of Demon (3)
Satou's here. The weak person who yearn for the sun so much, Satou.
Although dungeon is fine if it's in a game.
Fighting insect, insect, frog, insect, snake in a wet, damp basement is getting tiring.
◇
We've passed 6 rooms since then, but we didn't encounter any more living human. We came across several corpses though...
”Master, the magic core recovery is complete.”
”Alright, let's take a break.”
Liza and the other are passing the water bottle around after drinking for a mouthful.
Before I knew it, they way they call me have changed from [Danna-sama (Mister)] to [Goshujin-sama (Master)]. Since it seems easier for them to use that, I leave it alone.
Liza drops the water bottle.
Water is spilling from the fallen bottle...
”I, I'm very sorry! Master!!!”
Liza desperately picks up the water bottle. Her hands seems to be unsteady.
Come to think of it, Pochi's and Tama's throwing accuracies were bad on the battle earlier too...
”Are you tired?”
”I'm very sorry! I wasted the important water. Please punish me in any way.”
...You're exaggerating. No, Liza seems to seriously think that.
”Liza, we can just obtain more water. Rather than that, is your body okay?”
”I'm sorry... I feel heavy since earlier, I've tried to move my limbs, but they won't budge.”
Pochi and Tama drink the water while lying on the ground looking lifeless.
Confirming their status, there doesn't seem to be any abnormality. They're probably tired.
”The break is canceled, let's take a full rest instead.”
I lift Pochi and Tama in my arm and drink them the water.
I distribute sweet potato fries to the three. The three look very sleepy, but maybe because they're hungry, they have some vigor left to keep eating.
”After you finish your meal, sleep for 3 hours.”
Pochi and Tama sleep with my legs as pillows. Liza shyly curled up into a ball a bit away.
When the three fast asleep, I observe their status.
The attribute values are increasing by 1 every 10 minutes, getting back to its original values. 2 hours after the rest, the grayed out skills turn white.
Speaking of skills, if the three leveled up then their skills would increase right?
They don't get skill just by doing something?
Apparently the improvement from level up is applied after you sleep.
...this is totally like like the masterpiece from the labyrinth's classic. It's scary to age if you're not on the stable.
◇
We broke through more rooms after that. The limit before we need to rest was about 3 level up based on earlier, we should rest after breaking through two more rooms...
”Stop!”
It's rare to see Tama warns without being sluggish.
But there's no enemy on the front?
”What's wrong?”
”The ground is~ strange?”
That's right, this is a labyrinth, there should be traps.
Since there wasn't any until now, I forgot about it.
”Well done, Tama. There's a trap there.”
”Ay!”
I stroke Tama's head and cat ears.
I let the three withdraw and try throwing stone at the trap, but it doesn't active. From the name of the trap, it probably only reacts to living things.
Since I don't know the range of the trap, I can't be sure if we can safely walk through the edge of the passage either. I won't even consider making the beastkin girls step through it.
There are rat monsters on the room after this, maybe I'll try to lure them here with stones.
I throw 3 stones in a row.
”Rats are coming.”
In response to Pochi's report, I make the three fall back. The rats here are only level 10 and weak, but they act in group. Since I can't be sure if they can break through trap or not, let's take some distance.
The rats are caught in black spark far from the trap's location. In the end, the 3 rats are all caught up in separate location. It seems that traps are scattered around in this passage.
>[Trap Release Skill Acquired]
>[Trap Usage Skill Acquired]
>[Trap Discovery Skill Acquired]
Since the trap might be the type that can reactivate, we leave the magic cores behind.
I immediately allocate skill point to just Trap Discovery skill and activate it.
