Episode IX: The Rice of Seekers' Admiration

The second tier was a forest with vast lakes.

And as expected, there are many Rank 4 demons living there.

Step into the second tier for the fourth day.

Tomorrow is finally the last day to explore the Dungeons of the Long Goddess.

It has been a fierce battle after a fierce one.

Both body fatigue and mental fatigue have accumulated, making it more difficult to hide them.

Everyone, even though it is rank 4, the demons of rank 4 are not a glimmer.

Anyway, it's like the boss of the Golden Temple, where Kuna and Anne fought for their lives.

One down is not the end, so the resources available at once are limited.

Fighting while thinking about the next is a burden besides thoughts.

Still, we kept knocking down demons.

... and still is.

Look up above.

The dragon of darkness swirls at a speed close to the speed of sound, while aiming at me with a brace of double attributes of darkness and flame.

Altitude, a thousand meters. If they fly that high, they won't even get Kuna's [Rigid Flame Bullet].

I run around and avoid it, but I can't completely flatter it.

While the braces themselves are fast, explosive braces allow craters to form on the ground, causing widespread blast flames.

I've never even seen such a demon before in a game.

"Ugh, Sage. Rank 4 demon. This is ridiculous."

"Yeah, I can't believe this is a mutton fish."

It feels like one fight, one fight is like a boss fight.

They'll kill me like this. It doesn't have to be. It's all flashy.

Cowardly demons flee, but if they are belligerent demons nearby, they come close.

Even though Black Dragon is the best I can do.

"Both of you, when reinforcements get here, it's our top priority to get out."

"Copy that!

"That's the only way."

Even reinforcements are Rank 4 demons. Here, it is a top priority for three or more people to escape when demons show up.

If you don't, you die.

While I was running, I was getting ready to drop the Black Dragon.

Being hit doesn't suit your sexuality.

"Kuna, I want to aim carefully at you to finish that one off. I'll take care of it."

Whether you are an enemy at an altitude of 1,000 metres, you have the means to deliver the attack.

However, we need to concentrate because of the big moves.

"Leave it to me! I'll do anything if you shoot that one off!

I trusted Kuna to stop and focus on the spot.

Strengthen your vision with magic and stare at the black dragon in heaven.

It's even harder to just prepare an attack that reaches that far, but it's even harder to hit an opponent who flies at a speed of sound a thousand meters away.

I can't do it by normal means.

We need to use magic to hit them apart from the magic we use to attack them.

The attack magic used is [Silver Dragon's Roar "Dragon Breath"].

A super-fired blow using the phenomenon of the collapse of mana.

That one will arrive, and it doesn't matter if the power is attenuated somewhat.

And use witchcraft to make him hit.

[Automatic aiming].

Advanced magic that combines information gathering sensors with arithmetic to make them hit.

Speed, Stamina, Residual Magic, Behavioral Patterns, Environmental Factors, Characteristics of this Attack Means, Compute all of them to increase Shooting Accuracy.

If it was me before, it would be impossible to use auxiliary magic in combination with only the control of [Silver Dragon Roar].

However, with Rank 4 and increased arithmetic ability, I can do about that.

Collection and calculation of information was completed.

All you have to do is release the magic.

I felt a gaze from the sky.

At the same time, the black dragon clearly turns on me and releases a brace of darkness and flame.

Apparently, he felt swollen magic and regarded me as a threat.

... Highly ranked demons are highly intelligent and crisis-sensitive, and these places are troublesome.

Kuna reaches out her hand toward heaven to intercept the falling flaming brace.

"You don't have to get that far, you can shoot down enough flames over there!

Kuna unleashes a flaming bullet, hits a black dragon brace in the air and explodes heavily in the air.

Explosive flames spread and zero vision.

"Shit, Sauji, I'm sorry"

"Don't worry, I see it! [Silver Dragon's Roar" Dragon Breath "]

In the field of vision extinguished by blast flames, mimic the dragon's agate with both hands, emitting a band of light.

Mana, compressed to the extreme, collapsed, bursting with all the power within.

It is the light that extinguishes everything.

The blast flames have zero vision, but we already know where the black dragon is when [Silver Dragon Roar] is reached by [automatic aiming].

[Auto Targeting] predicts where the enemy is in the future.

A band of light rose to heaven and broke the clouds.

And……….

"Hit."

The black dragon whose torso disappeared.

Also, I could have slaughtered rank 4 on the whole.

I was pretty nervous this time.

"Sage, you did it."

"Right."

"... I knew magic would be good. I can't do anything with someone like this."

I look at the black dragon with its torso crept out, as Anne seems to regret it somewhere.

She's right, she hasn't come active in the battle against the Black Dragon.

Ranged attacks have magic.

Skipping slaughter is a fantasy world.

Although the guy who made the magic for it in his hobby can also be among the players.

"You have nothing to be ashamed of. It's the right material. As soon as we pick up the Demon Stone, let's get out of here. I want to leave before the demon comes who hears the noise. I can't fight any more."

Even this battle with the Black Dragon is already after a series of battles.

Until just now, Cerberus, the guard dog of hell, fought what a monster and was attacked at a time when he tried to catch a breath.

Everyone is exhausted, and the amount of magic left is poor.

Coona moves the fox ear as it tingles.

"Demons are approaching from the east."

Then let's head west.

Hurry, retrieve the demon stone and we'll start heading west.

"Sauji, what are you doing!? I'll leave you."

"Go ahead. I'd like to check the vicinity for a moment. I'll catch up with you soon."

"Absolutely, in a minute."

I see the Black Dragon's body.

Besides Demon Stone, I still want something from this guy.

In a way, that is the admiration of the adventurer.

You may see the surprised faces of the Kunas.

He then defeated the Rank 4 demon about twice and started camping because the sun went down.

I'm finding a safe point within four days of coming to the second tier.

Caves hidden in waterfalls.

Demons don't come near here.

"You've also been blurry today."

"Sort of. This is what happens if you keep fighting rank 4"

I have exhausted all of the recovery items I have already brought in.

The potion that restores the protection is also the last one I have just used.

Food is more uncomfortable. While eating demonic meat, we can only use staple foods and supplements that we bring in.

Consumables are in poor condition, but there are other things that are not good.

"I knew this would happen in time."

The outer shell of the machine spear Vajra, which was crushed after being transferred to the white room, was impossible to repair.

I tried to make it because I needed an alternative, but I couldn't make a solid one due to time and equipment constraints.

It is not a satisfactory performance but it has helped me a lot.

That's finally broken.

Thanks to this, today I have been fighting in a second form and both spear forms all along the way.

"You're strong enough, aren't you?"

"I agree. Both spears and straight knives are strong."

"…… sort of. But there was also a scene today where I wanted destructive power. Speaking of greed, I wanted to rebuild it firmly. Well, it's nothing."

I've wanted to recreate the outer shell since the beginning.

I chose the former because it was a situation where I would either come here, collect materials and repair the outer shell, or not.

It is much more beneficial to increase the ranks of Anne and Kuna.

I have no regrets about that decision.

"Come on, it's our last dinner today. I use what I keep because it's the last one. Oh, my God, it's dragon meat. I brought the soft part of my tail from the black dragon earlier"

"Oh, I thought you disappeared earlier. You were going to get something like that."

This is what I just recovered after I let the Coonas go first.

When I analyzed the meat with witchcraft, the body was more dark force, poisoned and violently poisoned, but the tip of the tail was safe, so I recovered it.

"Can you eat that?

"It's not just a dragon, it's a dark dragon."

The two of them are looking at a slightly distracted face.

I guess I don't have an idea about eating dragons.

Not to mention the dark attributes, which makes me even more alert.

"I'm making sure there's no poison, and the flesh looks good. Well, I hope not. They fought today, and that's all I could eat."

Rank 4 demons were somehow less edible.

The fact that the food in hand is running out is one of the causes.

Most of them are poisonous or too firm to eat.

"……… I will eat. Soup and bread aren't the only things you can do."

"Right. If the sausage is fine, you can eat whatever flavor you want."

"It's all an experience. Exactly. I don't eat dragons either. If you say you ate a dragon, you might be able to brag somewhere."

Outside, I think it looks soft, so let's make it a steak.

I cut it quite thick.

Because of the smell, rub the curry powder.

This is the last curry powder I've taken care of in the past week.

The curry powder that made any meat taste good should be prepared again.

This is a great way to explore.

"Well, I miss meat alone."

While the meat is taming the curry flour, I make the accompanying soup.

There's a big lake, so I don't have trouble with the water. [Purification] As long as you can drink it.

Use dried vegetables for the soup.

And when the soup comes to a simmer, I tackle the steak.

"Oh, I smell good."

"That spice anomaly. Whatever ingredients are used as ingredients, they become delicious. … if you sell it, it's going to be a big hit."

"Well, the other Seekers are going to want it."

Sell this out.

Might be good. If I sign with the store and sell it out while I get a margin, it seems like it's going to be one property.

It makes me self-admire, but no one can quite formulate spices as brilliant as this.

Copy products would be difficult to come up with.

After peace, it seems interesting to get your hands on business.

For once, let's really think about it.

But now it's the dish of the moment.

After cooking both sides thoroughly, let the fire through carefully in low heat.

I prefer steak to rare, but unlike beef and the like, I'm afraid even if I'm able to confirm that eating in rare is not poisonous with magical analysis.

All right, it's baked.

Serve the meat on a plate and give it to everyone with the soup.

"Come on, we got it. It looks like it will, and the scent is passed thanks to the curry. The problem is the taste, but I don't know until I try it."

I usually taste it, but I want to challenge the three of us to something interesting at the same time. You'd be interested if I checked first.

I don't have the option of not eating.

Safe when analyzed by witchcraft, and I know it's nutritious.

I want to eat good meat and prepare for my last day.

Takuri and Kuna drank the saliva.

Looks delicious but hesitant.

We nodded and each cut with a knife.

Everyone speaks in unison.

At the moment of chewing, the smell that even the curry powder could not erase spread.

It smells like a beast. But thanks to curry powder suppression, it's a level that I can tolerate.

Without curry powder, it wouldn't be a very edible thing.

When the meat was elastic and chewed up, the gravy appeared.

The flavour is very intense. … and delicious.

It tastes like duck meat. That, too, is fine.

Besides, it has a gelatinous flavour like a cowtail with only its tail. I made it a steak this time but the simmering might taste better.

Surprised. Because it is a dragon with dark attributes, I thought it might taste amazing, but it tastes good.

However, I have a bit of a strong habit, and the taste of blood is too intense.

People who don't like it don't seem to like it.

"This is delicious! Let's bake more and more additionally!

The fox's blood will roll!

"That's good, but we don't have curry powder anymore. Can you eat a pretty beastly smell?

"If this is all delicious, I will put up with it! I like it. Wake up to the wildness. Momogu."

Sasu is a fox ear girl.

I guess the smell of blood and beasts is resistant from the beginning.

"I only need one. It does taste good, but I'm really worried about the smell of the beast. You can't eat without curry powder."

"I'm tough too. Coona, make sure you eat your replacement."

"Leave it to me! I'll eat for both of you."

If that's all you have to say, let's make a big deal of it.

Let's cook Kuna's meat and also prepare for lunch tomorrow.

Last day, I get busy.

I can't afford to cook a meal, and I need to make lunch within today.

"Sauge, what are you making?

"It's lunch for tomorrow. Spices aren't the only way to get rid of the smell. The firewood I collected today smells pretty good, doesn't it? Now if you smoke it, you don't have to rely on curry powder to get rid of the smell."

Use the last bread, make it a sandwich and it'll be just fine for lunch tomorrow.

That would be the last meal I would eat in this dungeon.

"I'm glad the food is delicious, but watching the sausage is going to lose my confidence as a woman.... when it's all over, I'd like to try my best."

"I like that. Other than the sword, life could be important from now on. Most importantly, I'd like to try Anne's hand cooking."

Anne got strong enough.

Of course, the sword will continue to work out. But that's not all I want. I want the world to expand.

"Yeah, the sword, otherwise I'll hang in there. … for the rebirth of Oakrail and our happiness"

That's a good word.

I can't imagine anything from Anne, who once saw nothing but the Oak Rail rebirth and walked his teeth all the way down the path of misery.

I'm sure it wasn't just Anne who changed, but me and Kuna.

It's really good that these three traveled together.

After the meal, it's time for Demon Stone Time.

"Not now, but was this really good?

"Of course. If you're alone, it's Sauji."

"The strongest of us is Sauge. Then it's Sauji who's in Rank 5."

He entered the second tier, battling the Demons of Rank 4 and gaining stronger Demon Stones.

Even the Magic Stone of Rank 4, which encloses enormous power, is a special dungeon but thus holds several times more magical power than normal, and its power is hard to brush.

But when I came to the second level, I saw the results of the hunt on the first day and realized it.

... Even if one can be ranked 5 for delivering more than that day, one is the limit. I'm suspicious that even one of them will arrive.

No matter how many times more powerful the Demon Stone is, Rank 5 is so far away.

I told them about it and they both told me I should be rank 5.

So, from day one until now, I'm the only one who's used all the demon stones I've got on the second tier.

"Okay. Together with today's achievements, you'll probably get as much power as you need."

Absorbs the demon stones one after the other.

My whole body is paralyzed by tremendous pleasure. Powered cells give a voice of joy.

I can hold back for a long time that I'm about to give you a weird voice.

"Anne, the look on Sauge-kun's demon stone, it's a bit eclectic, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna get a little excited."

"... I'm not even a little happy that a man said that"

Watching me absorb the Demon Stone as Kuna and Anne blush.

And the last one.

That's it.

I will look into my own body by magic.

That's the math. I'm ready to be rank 5.

Give me this far and all I need is not an extra demonic stone, but a rigid battle to spread the vessel.

… As a matter of fact, the star is on.

As there was a boss at the end of the first tier, there is also a boss on this floor.

I checked it down and was sure of it.

Rank 5 Demon.

Defeat that one and I will reach Rank 5.

"Final showdown of a week's special training, you're nervous."

"Yeah. But this time the three of us are going to try. I'm sure you can win."

Actually, I was nervous too.

Rank 5 demons are strong. That's also very tedious.

Still, the three of us could win.

Win, get rank 5. And I'll get the power to protect you both

"Well, let's go to bed today...... but I dawned because of the demon stone. Ready?"

"Don't ask. Are you embarrassed?"

"That's how I feel, too. I want to love each other while we can."

They accept me.

I'm glad about that.

Sauge, I need a favor.

"What is it?"

"Don't use contraceptive magic, because, you know, it might be memorable when... I'm saying something backwards, but still, I think so"

"Me too.... Strong enemies of Rank 5 to fight tomorrow and beyond are unparalleled enemies, aren't they? Then I want you to carve Sauji."

Two people stare at me with their nagging eyes.

I don't want to say no, no, I want to, too.

"Okay. I'm not using it today."

That's how we first loved each other without contraception.

I feel much more connected to you two than usual. And I like the two of you better.

… If we can do this, then we will take full responsibility. We need to get ready for that.

In this situation, I've been thinking about it.

Kuna and Anne, how can you ever feel happy when you think about your future with them?
