Zeros and the others went down the endless, bleak tunnels defeating thethe way However, it took theet to places with vein deposits, where they could extract ressed towards the deeper layers, the nuth, increased
The eon, so for that reason, they don't starve, however, that brought upon the side effect of having a complete loss of appetite Because of that, they surrender themselves to their sexual desires and spend their tiainst each other Such creatures gave the ih, despite that, they were still a threat
Nevertheless, strong e opportunities for mercenaries totheiron the case, it can be an extremely profitable business
As they descended, it becaeon, but fortunately, Zeros was capable of easily detecting them, thus they were able to advance safely
”There's a trap over there It's a relief that they don't explode”
”Don't say unpleasant things, ht in one of those”
”You'd have to be an extre that though”
(TN: referring to Iris)
”I really don't get you so but pitfalls, but the were soave electric shocks, andthe worst aht in them, there wouldn't be any loss of body parts, but now that it's reality, there's always the possibility of losing one's liic isn't able to completely restore someone's body to a perfect condition, and even if that were possible, the body wouldn't be able to replenish the necessary nutrients to reconstruct lieneration ability of a creature may be, it's necessary toparts There's a discrepancy between the gaenerate a person'sli tendency to nonchalantly get themselves into reckless situations, probably because they retained the cos when it's beco away their lives, and supposing they could overcoh level, like for example, Zeros, whose level is over 1000
”Ene Spiders Should I defeat them?”
”And their numbers? How many are there?”
”There are three It should be a walk in the park for you, girls What will you do?”
The three look away
”That spider's ht?”
(TN: Keep in mind that Rena(probably) said おいしい[oishi+], which in this context I think it means profitable/desirable, but it can also mean delicious, as in a delicious h I don't think I can cut it with my sword”
”Even so, I really want the experience points…”
”'Delicious' huh? Now that you mention it, deep-fried spiders taste just like shrimp I wonder if I could eat this one too…”
(TN: and here Zeros interprets Rena's(probably) oishi+ as delicious/tasty)
”””You want to eat a spider!? No, wait, you've eaten spiders before!?”””
On one occasion, when he traveled abroad for a business trip, he went to an extravagant restaurant, where he was served a deep-fried tarantula
He has even eaten a huge centipede before, showing his skill to be able to live anywhere Though the representative of the local partner coht he would seriously eat it
Zeros [Osako Satoshi+] may have the extraordinary power of environood with alcohol……”
”””So you did eat it!!”””
”The cold h… They serve you the monkey's head on a plate, so you have to eat it while it's staring at you”
Cigarette smoke drifts in the air For soh, as if to accompany the sad man's melancholy In another sense, it was hard to be a salary looked like heaven on Earth in comparison
”Oh, but the calf's brain was delicious, wasn't it? It looked like a little cow's head but it was properly cooked It had a nice, smooth texture”
”Please stop!!!”
”Nooooo!!! Now I' sfx
Jane had aout of her orey cuisine description had an iinations They seeh-quality dishes
”By the hat should we do about the Big Spiders?”
”You want ht in this state? Are you an S, mister? You're really an S, aren't you!??”
”Uuu… The monkey's freshly severed head… Noo!! It won't disappear!!”
”……(Ah, I can see a flower field)”
After receiving a critical hit from those words, she was about to depart to Nirvana Jane, the usually strong-willed woly, emotionally weak
Zeros breathes in the tobacco sh, but if they aren't kind, they are not women, huh?”
”Mister, that hard-boiled kindasuch a shabby outfit?”
(TN: Apparently it's a literary genre that's similar to criuess she's telling hi/wiki/Hardboiled)
”I refuse This is a policy of mine”
”That's a lie, isn't it? I don't think you have such a thing, mister”
”… Is this where I should cry?”
It sounded like a cruel thing to say to him, but it was a fact that he liked to dress like that He wasn't different fro around like that, the three spiders had gone soirls had missed their chance In the end, Zeros was irritated at the three for having let slide a perfectly good opportunity to make money
The old man was lonely
Incidentally, it wasn't clear whether he ate the cold monkey brain or not…
As Zeros continued to advance while feeling the stinging cold gazes of the three people behind hi up his ears, he heard the weak noise offrom a place that seemed to be deeper in the e to be fro repeated over and over
”… Is not fro a metallic surface”
”I don't know Isn't it your fault, mister?”
”The only people co It's not that strange”
”Zeros-san, we haven't forgiven you yet though?”
It was a serious probleazes were painful
However, all the nagging co his like 'speaking of which, the cold e flavor…', and so on To which, the three girls immediately covered their ears all at once
”Why are you saying such a thing now!? I i sfx
”I knew it, after all, you're an S… Uuu… just when I was about to forget…”
”No, it doesn't reallyattention to those weird signs would lead to your deaths in a dungeon”
He nonchalantly recites such a thing while flashi+ng an absolutely perfect smile He unexpectedly had such a personality
”It's useless to worry about so towards the direction of that sound Their nuet spider threads if I can It's the rawspider silk”
”I know it sells at a high price, but there are ten of theht?”
”Even so, we can e for us”
They seemed to have decided to hunt them The mercenary life looks to be less profitable than one would expect In addition to the wear and tear of weapons and ar medicine and food
Moreover, most of the money earned from requests will disappear instantly due to the i expenses when there isn't work to be done It was hard to live by for the extra income They were actually in desperate financial straits
—
Following the Big Spiders, the four turn right at the T-shaped junction and quietly head towards the direction of the ed to a
【shi+t! The spiders are co Christine-sa won't open!!】
【Hurry up, there are a lot of them!】
It looked like they were in trouble
FourSpiders Nor it twice, the four people sword above her right shoulder, Jane slashed diagonally doards, twisting her body as she does so, while Rena pierces the spider's body as it flinched from the previous attack
”Iris!”
”I know! 〖Rock Blast〗!!”
The countless rocks released fro Spiders, successfully defeating three of theic attack
Si left and right, cutting the spiders' legs, and instantly dis!”
”Thank you for your help! We are…”
”We'll talk about it later!”
”Right! My bad”
With the addition of another four coate the spiders that attacked the them, while Iris tried her best to not look at such a scene of carnage It seeically iuys saved us back there Allow me to thank you”
”No, no It's natural to help each other out in these kinds of situations So, even knights are in trouble sometimes Can you tell hts?”
”The swords you guys have possess a fahts of some noble, am I correct? I tutored a nobleman's children for a while and I saw mass-produced swords like that before”
Even when disguised as hts never replace their swords, as they are important ite without their distinctive armor on some missions
Because they arewith a seal engraved on the handle indicating that they belong to this kingdohts
In addition to that, a fauards, proof that the knights have gained the trust of a noble fa this, they would reveal the identity of the noblehts serving other faician! Please lend us your wisdom here”
”I don't think I'm such an important person to be called that…… but well, what's the issue?”
(TN: So, this was coht referred to Zeros as 貴殿[kiden] which is apparently a super respectful way of referring to one's male equals or superiors)
”Christine-sama, the Lord e serve, fell into a pit shooter trap We've been trying to help her soe”
”Wha!? This is really bad…”
”Who would think of such a villainous trick…Kuh…”
A pit shooter is a coeons In short, it will randoeon You may end up on the upper floors, but in some extreme cases, it can also drop you off at the deepest part of the dungeon
Naturally, the strength of the ue, so if rookie mercenaries end up there, they will not be saved
Depending on where you fall, you could end up as dungeon fodder
”I was too late to notice that this place was a dungeon The question nohether this is connected to the deepest layer or not…”
”A dungeon!? Wasn't this just an abandoned mine!?”
”Mister These people, maybe they're comrades of that kid you helped out before? Probably it was her who fell down…”
”Don't say more, I understand But, I've opened one of these once, so I should be able to do it again, I think”
Zeros tries to get on the closed opening of the pit shooter trap It's tightly shut and doesn't budge even with the full weight of an adultto take us some time to find a route around, so it's better to…”
――― Gakon!
While thinking, 'let's try to blow it aith ic,' the top opened just when he was about to prepare a spell, and so, Zeros disappeared after dropping straight into the opening
It completely looked like a failed sketch coician-dono!?”
”Oi… That won't end up as a double accident, right?”
”That was on purpose, wasn't it?”
”But noe're able to get where Christine-saht We'll take a detour and go to her rescue”
The knights started to irls ere still dis the monsters She wasn't worried about Zeros at all, after all, she knew the stories of the 【Annihilators】 Rather, she orried about the dungeon
Luckily, the pit shooter trap was a slide However, just before it, there was a three- his rear before slipping down said slide that, unfortunately for him, had an uneven surface, so the pain in his buttocks was severe
He felt a bit numb, probably because he hit his back too hard
”Ouch… I really hope my behind doesn't end up abraded… Well then, It seems I ended up in the same place as her, but I wonder where the princess[TN: ohiht now… Isn't this another cliché?”
The lonely Zeros starts walking while rubbing his lower back The place he fell was a narrow space around threein one direction, but as he doesn't knohat he h alert for any surprise attacks Incidentally, the walls of this tunnel also glow in a pale blue hue
Zeros stopped in his tracks and began to think with a serious face
(This light… is not radioactive, right? Given that the laws of physics seee for such a thing to exist It wouldn't be funny ifaround…)
The true nature of the light is a stone that glows in the dark called 【Lu like harht actually be a dangerous thing Though, if it was really radioactive, it would've been game over for him the moment he set a foot inside the mine either way Nevertheless, it took him some time to realize that fact
――― Gyiiooooohhhhhh!!!
