131 Episode 131: Twenty-three Layers of Kelokeroeaters (1/2)

Dungeon Strategy - Day XIX.

Dungeon entrance.

”Come on, let's stick it out, both of you.”

Anna, dressed in Songstress gear, smiled back at us.

”It's been a long time since I've attacked you.”

Anna sings with pleasure. A one-piece, flickering dress feels like a singing princess.

Yes, for some time to come, we're going to dive into the dungeon with Anna, the guild receptionist.

Why did that happen...

”Hohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho rana ~”

”Oh, Ra-kun's in retrospect”

∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽

A day before going back.

Elena, a veteran blacksmith apprentice, was recognized by her father, Shige, and became a sunny, one-person blacksmith. I'm really sorry.

Besides, your father says you'll be working back on the Eltral Sword.

Happy to ask. That's good.

”You're out of weapons... Attack today, take the day off...?

”Ugh, sorry Ra-kun...... If it hadn't been for my party yesterday, I could have taken the day off...”

Pumpkin, purine.

No, no, I shake my head.

”That has nothing to do with it.... Well, I have a holy spear, and I can look good with my bare hands for anything”

I am also a former martial artist, although I am dressed in full body armor as a magic warrior. With some body surgery LV21, you'll be able to afford it even if you don't have a score.

”All right, let's go for the offense”

”Are you okay...?

”'Cause it's okay. If it sucks, you can run. - With the magic of Prine.”

And I wink at Prine. If you tell her 'I'm counting on you' like this, she'll lose her pull, too.

”Ah............ yes! Leave it to me!

”Oh, I hope so.”

”Good luck!

Fusu, and a prine that makes your nose rough. All right, all right.

”Prine is cute.”

”Eh heh heh.”

No, no, no.

I came to the guild.

Because it's halfway through lunch, or rarely the reception was empty.

A face-to-face - I mean, an official I see every day sits at the counter as usual. She noticed us and stopped working.

”Oh, good morning to Larna, Prine.”

”Good morning, Anna.”

”Good morning, Anna -!

”Yes, yes, you're doing well today, both of you.... Oh, Larna, what happened to the long sword?

That's what Anna asked when she saw my empty sheath.

That's Anna, the famous receptionist, for Christ's sake.

”Actually, I'm working on it right now.”

I explained how. [M]

”Uh, you're Elena, the blacksmith. Thank you for taking care of her.”

On the sixth day of the offense, I went to the sixth tier to pick up the Mirage Ball.

”It's only been about two weeks. It's weird, I feel like two years ago.”

”Me, too.”

”Me too...”

It's a strange feeling.

”So, Larna, are you off on offense today?

”No, I have a holy spear, so I was wondering if it would be particularly problematic. I'm going to level 23 today.”

When I responded, Anna exclaimed, ”Huh.”

”You're already 23 layers! Fast wow. It's just too soon. Wow, Prine for Larna.”

”Because the prine is awesome”

”Ra-kun is amazing!

With Anna smiling bitterly,

”This won't be long before I'm overtaken.”

I ask.

”Anna was a senior, too, wasn't she? Indeed, the profession” Job ”is the singing princess” Songstress ””

”Yeah ♪ The offense, though stopped on the 29th floor. Well... I think it's time to get back to the dungeon offense.”

”Uh, from the receptionist, can you go back?

”Of course. ♪ About half the year, I'm in the dungeon. There are quite a few other Alliance employees who are active adventurers.

”It was...”

Speaking of which, it's been less than a month since you've been an adventurer, so there's a lot you don't know.

”If that's okay, but...”

Anna looked at us.

”May I join you for a moment, too? I'll cover you both with a song. ♪ Lalalar. ♪

When Anna sang lightly, around her, the flowers of light bloomed.

Me and Prine look each other in the face.

Prine looked happy, her eyes glowing. Then it's settled.

Looking back at Anna, I nod.

”If Anna is good, I'd love to!

”Please!

”Thank you. ♪ I'll be careful not to disturb you two. ♪

Well, and Anna.

”I'm saving for four levels right now, so I'm gonna have to reschedule to the 23rd floor where we both are.”

Speaking of which, did Anna set the savepoint to four levels for the show stage?

”Uh-huh, it's gonna take a while if it's from four layers. Maybe I should ask Dungeon Express.”

Me and Prine's voice is haunting.

”” Dungeon Express?

”Yeah ♪ Like me, there's a party that delivers adventurers saving in shallower layers than the highest reaching floor, super fast and to the highest floor ♪”

”I see...... That means you won't be treated like a parasite until you reach the highest floor.”

”And it's a little dangerous because you can't carry it. And money.”

And Anna smiled bitterly.

I'm concerned about that word that comes out earlier.

”Do you want me to carry you”, like a carriage?

Ms. Anna turned to the truth,

”Rear car.”

”Luggage Car Rear Car”

”Handle things.”

”Are you dealing with things...”

That sounds rash......

”Although, that party, of course, is all advanced Top Gear, so it's reliable.”

”Super fast dungeon transport for advanced Top Gear people…”

In me, a certain emotion swells up.

I want to see it.

I want to see it so bad.

”Hey, Prine, I need to talk to you for a second.”

”Yeah, okay? You want to come with me, don't you, Ra?

That's a prine.

”Can I go?

”Of course! Ra, your eyes are glittering”

The prine laughs dull. Lovely.

”It's not gonna be a prine.”

”That's not true.”

Turn back to Mr. Anna.

”Um, if it's not an inconvenience...”

Yeah, and Anna laughs and nods.

”If Lana and Prine can help me, I can count on you.”

It's settled.

Anna,

”Then I, because I'm going to apply for an offensive vacation and an express. Can you give me a minute?

”” Yes ””

Anna, who said and pulled back, came back less than five minutes later. Make an O with your fingers and wink.

”Okay.”

”” Yay!!

”I can dive into the dungeon tomorrow. The Express was lucky to be available.”

That's a good clap.

I confirm.

”Anna's highest reaching floor is on the 29th floor, right? Then we, too, dive a little deeper. I don't know how far you can go in a day.”

”You're not gonna get over it in one day, are you? Ugh.”

Exactly. I don't think that's possible. Not a flag or anything.

”Well, don't rush, I'll do my best”

”I, too, will follow you, Rana!

”Yes. ♪ See you tomorrow, in front of the dungeon at eight o'clock in the morning, huh?

”” Okay -!

I waved to Anna and broke up with her, and we left the guild behind.

Go straight to the dungeon and teleport to the 23rd level savepoint.

By the lake, in the woods. The surrounding trees are blocking the sun, and it's dark even though it's noon.

”All right, let's go, Prine!

”Yes!”

We just got attacked yesterday after reading the offensive information ”Shinbun”.

Apparently, from here on out, it's pretty much easier than before, like that recoil because it's been tough up to 22 layers.

Nevertheless, it is forbidden to be alarmed.

Proceed with caution and speed. Ah, monsters.

”Hey.”

”Shh, shh!

”Rakun is amazing!

My temper, the cry of the monster's terminator and the praise of Prine cling to the woods.

Yeah. I knew one holy spear would suffice. And I think as I watch the flesh of the monster on the tip become fog.

Having slaughtered the monster carefully and quickly, I danced with prine, victory and joy.

”Ran-ta.”

”Ran Ta-ta.”

Full-body armor says chatter, but don't worry about it. It is divine to see a coat of bright white prine, Niso and gloves shining in the dark woods. Bigger breasts than my face. It's even divine to bounce. Thank you.

”All right, I refilled HP (Tariku), MP (Mariku) and Eye Bliss (Kiai) by dancing. Let's move on.”

”Yes!”

Then again, when we defeated several monsters in an instant without jeopardy, we found a staircase to the 24th floor. After all, it's getting easier, dungeon.

But we can't just go down there yet. I've done this on the 23rd floor before.

”Shall we roll some more, Prine?”

”Yes! Ra-kun and I will roar!

The cheerful prine is cute.

I stroked her head, walked past the stairs and went further back.

I'm the avant-garde, Prine's the rear.

Prine in the back, he's not walking on the ground. Using the effect of the newly attached ”Cat Angel Feather” - the MP consumption of the flying feather ”Photon Wing” will be 1/5 - it remains floating almost all the time.

Prine, who has a lot of magic but less health, was more efficient at floating than walking.

But I'm worried about the avant-garde because I don't have footsteps. At some point, he's gone from behind - not necessarily without it.

So the floating prine has me grabbing the edge of my cape. This cloak also passes through magic vegetables, so a simple thought can convey it. It will be useful in times of agitation.

When I thought, a message came from Prine through the cape.

- Ra-kun. Ra-kun.

- Yeah? What's up, Prine?

- I'm in regular contact.
