Vol 3 Chapter 45 (2/2)
It held a large cylinder in its right hand, and it started pointing it in my direction
I i at my waist, and threw the balls one after another
By the ti the edge of the circular rooht at me
The Second…
『That’s quite bad If he took that head on, the current Lyle would be finished in one hit』
The Seventh too
『Don’t even think of blocking it Dodge at all costs』
I was full on board with the two’s opinion
“That’s quite a troublesome one”
I was breaking into a cold sweat
Deterood, I i towards me
What’sspeed
The ic that collided with the wall exploded, and lit up the room for an instant
What I was, unlike the ene overly ceremonious armor
So from its joints
“A plant-typemetal armor? What sort of joke is this!?”
I used ic
Not directed at the enemy, but at the wooden balls below it
“Fire bullet!”
An orb of fire shot out of ertip, and landed a direct hit on one of the wooden ball
As it exploded, the other ones went off in a chain reaction
Smoke wrapped around the room
The Fifth spoke
『The others can’t target the enemy in the smoke Lyle, blow it away』
As ordered, I brushed away nothing but the smoke
It seems that from the explosion below, the monster was forced to part with its shi+eld
“Why not drop the pipe, too! Storm!”
I bleay the smoke
But I still wasn’t able to see the surroundings well
As I thought, there’s a problem with this method
The Sixth…
『You should have stuffed gunpowder into a crate Then you would just have to lead it to it, and bang』
It’s a bit too late, but that was a plausible method
But it’s not that easy to get your hands on gunpowder I would only be able to prepare one crate
On top of being unsure whether or not I could lead hi it, I would be the one in danger of incineration
The Third looked around…
『Look, Novem-chan and the others have come』
Round objects came down on the monster one after another, and in a space separated froic
They probably deterether
At the sa off the nearby gunpoas scary
Fire and wood balls collide with the boss, exploding
The cereht arm joint was bloay by the impact
The pipe fell to the ground
The Fourth issued out orders
『Lyle, manipulate the wind to send the smoke into the deeper parts of the chaet too low to follow its movements』
I used ic to cleanse the air, and the monster that had fallen to its knees raised a roar
As its helmet fell off, as visible was a monstrous insect-like head
What an ominous fellow
『Oy, Aria is…』
Aria used her Skills to throw the balls with all her ht
The moment the monster screamed, she tossed one into its mouth, and it ed
The next ic
The surrounding air started rapping around the monster
The high level ic was the one Celes once used
“She’s using… Fire Storm”
The wind is set ablaze, and within that tempest of flame, the monster squirmed
The room’s temperature instantly rose, and the beast’s behavior started to becoe
Its head was blown off
The Fifth offered some conjecture
『Was the one that Aria threhat finished it off? I guess you have to hand this battle to her, then』
I stared at the fla it had died, I took a deep breath
I didn’t know Noveed victorious, so there’s no problem
The first one to run over to me wasn’t Novem, but Miranda-san
“Nice work!”
“It looks like it all ell”
As I said that to her, she nodded with a smile
“Really I thought it was a plant-based monster, but the head was an insect parasite If Shannon was here, she would have fainted”
It appears that Shannon dislikes bugs
Seeing the unuished the flaic
While its contents were burning up, the armor itself was only dirty, and it hadn’t melted
It’s too sturdy
I’m not sure if she used an unfamiliar Skill, but Aria seemed tired
Nove to her
Miranda stared at Novem as she muttered
“… That girl’s so incredible She’s over me”
I thought she was praising her
“She’s quite a dependable one In… various ways”
I roup I thought of having Damien’s dolls carry the scattered armor pieces, barrel and shi+eld

“… I’o home”
“H-hey”
After having defeated the fortieth floor’s boss, we didn’t proceed any further, and returned to the previous floor
If possible, within the day, ould get to around the twentieth, and rest the night, but… a change came about in me
It wasn’t to the saued
I didn’t want towas a pain
With a largelike, ‘with this, I can finally finish the device to convert Mana to electricity!’
(It’s as if he’s a child who bought a new toy)
We collected all the necessary monster materials, but it looks like our main objective was the stone
He’s probably happy at having his devices completed
Da the heavy-looking ar
Our reward this tiic
However, like that, ould have no income
Since I paid quite a sue, it was natural for me to want to collect a few valuables
But…
“That armor sure is cool Its rustic parts are quite nice Quite nice”
As I hobbled forwards, Aria looked at me with irritated eyes, and shouted
“Can’t you walk properly already!?”
“… I don’t feel like it”
If there were a man here, I would even like to be carried
But if you’re looking for one in the area, there was only Damien, as shorter than me
The individual hiic stone on hand, and the corner of his lips were raised
I doubt he’s actually looking at anything else
(I’m surprised he can make his dolls move around in that state)
While finding it a wonder, I wrung out th to tread down the labyrinth

The fifth day
In a worse state than before, I borrowed Noveh the maze
Clara looked at me orry on her face
“Your complexion is pale, Lyle-sam”
“… No ht there”
I use my Skills, and somehow relay orders to the rest of them
I can still use the Skills, but the fatigue is starting to beco is low, andtoo much to help it
“Lyle-kun, could it be you pushed yourself too far?”
As Miranda-san said that, Aria…
“It was like this before as well What comes next is just as bad”
“Really?”
Even cautioningmy personal information, felt like a pain, so I didn’t open my mouth
Novem called out to me
“Lyle-sama, we’ve already reached the tenth floor, so hold on for a little longer”
Because of the large nuher ent, the less and less monsters appeared We were able to move with some peace of mind
When I checked the Skills, I saw yellow signals scattered around here and there
But…
“… No more…”
Complaints escaped from my mouth
Hearing that, the Sixth let out a sigh
『Lyle, endure it a little longer And wait, you’re that, aren’t you… the type where your physical condition is ravaged right before a Growth』
The Fifth was level-headed
『But he grows enough to coht? Just think of it as recoil, and deal with it And wait… the others seem pained as well』
When I looked around, I saw that Nove some pain
Da his mouth less
Aria was constantly irritated
Miranda-san had lost the sharpness of her movements
Clara’s light wasn’t kept at a stable brightness
Even when Nove me her shoulder
The Second…
『When everyone fights and receives a s will really go to hell if you don’t increase your number This is definitely related to Lyle’s Skill, isn’t it?』
The Third held the same opinion
『Rather, for hiet this much experience to experience Growth… the others here have probably gone through it tiain, but this is just Lyle’s second time, isn’t it?』
Right, I was about to go through rowth
It’s just that… I was only getting one after fighting nu both the thirtieth and fortieth floor bosses
What’s ue that came from it, I was left in a state where I couldn’t even move myself properly
The Seventh chose his words with care
『… Lyle is that, you know U force These small demerits here and there aren’t a problem』
The Fourth
『Well, after one Growth, he should be fine for quite a while But still…』
Even taking a single step required quite a bit of willpower
In the end, with the relief I felt fro around the fifth floor, I lost consciousness
I heard this later, but apparently Novem and Miranda-san carried me
Dae, Da force just in case, and Clara was our support, providing us with light
Miranda-san volunteered, so she assisted Nove me, it seems
In the fifth floor briht ofcarried home by tomen

The ancestors’ evaluation of this expedition as a whole was as follows
『Having girls carry you, not happenin’ man What a turn off』
… It seems
I thought so as well
