Lets be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~ 78

Lets Take Them To The 15th Floor!

After finishing with the request, Haruki returned to K-Town.

After a week and two days, the vegetation in K-Town had quickly grown due to the summers heat, sunlight, and rain.

It was greener than ever.

After parking the car, Haruki took out his luggage and left it in his house.

Then, Haruki went to the prefab to check on things, only to find that

Theyre dead.

There were two dead bodies in the prefab.

Both Akane and Karens faces were devoid of expression, as if they were actually dead.

Haruki felt he had already seen this scene before.

He opened the prefabs door while pressing his thumb strongly against his temple.

Hey, Im back

All Karen and Akane did in response to Harukis voice was move their eyes.

This wont do.

Its so hot in here!

Thinking he would get heatstroke if he didnt do something, Haruki hurriedly opened the window.

So what happened this time?

Waaahahaaahhh!

When he asked, it seemed to have stirred some memories on the back of Akanes head. She suddenly began to cry while shouting and trembling.

Dont tell me youre still stuck at those spoon worms?

No Ah, long time no see, Karaboshi. Welcome back.

Thanks. So, what happened?

Well

After having come back to her senses, Karen slowly began to recount what had happened.

They had overcome their fears of the spoon worms, and reached the 11th floor.

It seemed that Karens level had increased considerably due to her training with the Werewolves.

The Chachas werent much of a training partner.

So they decided to go to the 15th floor to train.

But on the way

They were held back by the Slimy Eels of the 14th floor.

Well, actually, the only one who had been held back was Akane.

Waaahahaaahh!

Akanes tears tried to reject reality.

She could be barely heard saying But they didnt make any sense, what were we supposed to do?

Certainly, even with his sharp short sword, Haruki had trouble slicing through them since they were covered with slime.

Akanes blunt weapon would have had an even harder hitting them.

So you got stuck at the 14th floor, huh?

Yeah Sorry.

Karen apologized because she felt sorry for herself.

Her lightning attacks worked well against the Slimy Eels.

What she had lacked in order to defeat them was raw power.

Still, if the one at the rear guard fails to keep the monsters in check, then the battle will end up going south.

The reason for that is that whether the ones at the rear guard use bows or magic, the time between each of their attacks is much slower than that of the ones at the front lines.

The damage each of their attacks can deal is very high, but their attack rate is low.

If they are swarmed by monsters, they will be inevitably forced to withdraw.

If the ones at the front lines are unable to properly keep the flow of monsters in check, the rear guard alone will not be able to press forward through the dungeon.

Karen had gotten strong enough to be able to deal with Chachas on her own.

That meant that her power was by no means insufficient.

So it was Akanes fault.

How can it be my fault!? Once they get you with that slime of theirs, you cant move an inch!

Ah

Haruki was terrified by Akanes tone of voice.

Their slime is so sticky that even the Slimy Eels themselves get stuck with it.

Still, if the melee-based Akanes movements are sealed, there wouldnt be much to do about it.

However, Akanes eyes didnt seem to be those of a lost puppy.

So she did get caught by them on purpose, huh?

That must have been just Akane trying to train Karen.

Though Haruki wasnt sure exactly why Akane was going that route.

Wait a second.

Perhaps I could help as well?

Akane slightly lifted up her chin as if she knew what Haruki was thinking about.

Oh well. Ill help you break through the 14th floor.

But

Karen bit her lower lip at Harukis suggestion.

She probably felt sorry to inconvenience him any further.

However, Haruki shook his head.

Dont worry. I wont be going to the 14th floor just to help you out.

Though Haruki had reached the middle floors of Nakasatsunai dungeon, Esta did not receive a Divine Protection.

For that reason, Haruki had planned to go through the first floors of the garage dungeon and up to the middle floors in order to allow for Estas Divine Protection to manifest.

The stronger Esta were to become, the better he would be able to protect the household.

There was no way Haruki would let him not have a Divine Protection.

Esta didnt need to become so tough just to be able to protect the household better.

Still, to grow stronger is part of a mans adventurous spirit.

Even if the household he was meant to protect was in the middle of the countryside where there are no burglaries, Haruki wanted a tank in his house.

Are you coming with us, Akane?

Of course. I have to go help Karen train!

Even if you become a burden to your trainee?

Ugh

Akanes eyes began to well up with tears due to Harukis retort.

No matter how well her intentions were, she was as shabby as ever.

However, Haruki might have gone a bit too far with his comment.

Im sorry, so lets forget about it and go.

With Esta by his side, Haruki reached the 9th floor in three days.

The idea this time around was to help Esta level up as well.

Haruki instructed Rhea to avoid getting involved as much as possible.
