After finishing the request, Seiki returned to K town.

For the first time in one week and two days, K-town had wildly grown plants in the summer sun, heat and rain.

The green is deeper than before.

He parks his car on his premises and Seiki carries his luggage into the house.

After that, Seiki looked into the prefab,

"......... I'm not dead."

There are two dead bodies in the prefab.

――There was a look of a lotus and a vermilion without expression like a corpse.

It's like I saw the same scene before ...

Seiki opened the prefabricated door, pushing the temple hard with her finger.

"I'm back."

"" ......... "

Fire Lotus and Akane moved only her eyes to Haruki's voice.

No.

The heat melts the brain.

As expected, if you suffer from heat stroke, Haruki quickly opens the window completely.

"So what happened this time?"

"... Ahahahahn!"

When asked, the memories of the past may have returned. Akane began to cry and start crying, shaking.

"Maybe you're still struggling with Lutz?"

"No .... Oh, it's been a long time since Soraboshi. Come home."

"Yeah, right now. What happened?"

"that is……"

A fire-blowed lotus recounted the reason.

They overcame Lutz's fears and reached the 11th floor.

In the battle with Werewolf so far, the lotus seems to have risen considerably.

Chacha did not train at all with her.

For this reason, the hunting ground was set on the 15th floor.

On the way.

They stumbled on the 14th floor slime eel.

No, more precisely, only Akane stumbled.

"Ahahahaan!"

Akane's cry rejects reality.

"Physics do not communicate, I can not help! 』

I can hear such a voice.

Certainly, the sharp dagger of Haruki's sharp dagger was greatly attenuated by Numeneme.

First, you can't compete with Akane, a hitting weapon. The compatibility is the worst.

"So stuck on the 14th floor?"

"Yes ... sorry."

He apologized because he felt compassionate about himself.

The firefighting of the fire lotus goes well with the numen eel.

He couldn't pass because he had no power.

However, when the rear guard goes alone, a rather difficult battle is forced.

This is because both the bow and the magic have a longer reservoir before the attack than the avant-garde.

High attack power per shot, but low turnover.

If multiple monsters appear, you will have to forgive easily and withdraw.

Unless the avant-garde firmly secures the monster, it is difficult to go through the dungeon with the rearguard alone unless there is a great advantage.

Fire Lotus has the power to fight alone against Cha Cha.

Then, the power of the lotus is not necessarily short.

"The bad thing is Akane."

"Oh, I'm not bad! I don't want a slime to block my movement !!"

"... oh, oh"

Haruki suddenly wonders at the sound of Akane.

Numenum is so viscous that even the released eel is stuck.

And even if the vermilion sound of physical is sealed off, there is no help for it.

However, Akane's eyes contained light that was contrary to that of a loser dog.

(Is it still on purpose?)

This is also a means for Akane to nurture lotus.

Seiki doesn't really see what he wants to grow, but ...

Comma one second.

(Can I help?)

In the gaze of Seiki, Akane pulled his chin slightly.

"It can't be helped. I'll help you break through the 14th floor."

"but……"

Fire Lotus bit his lower lip in response to Seiki's proposal.

Perhaps they are feeling sorry to cause trouble.

However, Seiki shakes her head sideways.

"Don't worry. It's not just fireflies that break through the 14th floor."

He descended to the middle class in the midstairs dungeon, but Esta was not protected.

So Haruki originally intended to go to the middle floor from the first floor in the dungeon of the garage in order to express the protection of Esta.

The stronger your ESTA, the better your house will be.

There is no option for no blessing.

There is no point in escaping Esta to protect the house.

But the strongest is a man's romantic.

Even if it's a countryside home that doesn't have theft, you want a tank at home.

"Shine should be on the 15th floor?"

"Of course, I have to grow a lotus!"

"Isn't the raising person in a good position?"

"Gushy ..."

When Haruki rushed in, Akane made his eyes moist.

Even if there is a high aspiration, the shabbyness does not change.

However, it is a corpse kick that pushes in further.

I'm sorry, so let's just go.

*

With Esta, Seiki broke through the ninth floor in three days.

This time, it also doubles as Esta's leveling.

Instructed Rare to keep his hands as low as possible.

Perhaps because of that, the hunting speed was much lower than in the middle bill.

The reason is a small amount of trouble.

And it's Esta's characteristics.

Esta is guarded by a very hard shell.

Esta is so stiff that it doesn't take any damage if it jumps out of Haruki's belly and hits a monster.

Also, the hard shell hits at a terrible speed, so the attack power is high.

However, Esta had a strong sense of attack, probably because it was a monster that destroyed the armor rather than the opponent's life.

That is reflected in "No Attack Skills" on the skill board.

Despite having enough attack power, it takes time to exterminate the monster.

Jump out and return to Haruki's belly, then jump out and repeat.

Occasionally, when the attack comes off, he bounces around the ground and turns his eyes.

Shouldn't Esta be attacked too much?

Haruki appeals to Rare with his gaze.

But Rea looks at Esta with soft leaves, "Let's see a little more."

You can't learn attack techniques overnight.

If you continue to attack, you will eventually acquire the skills.

Haruki decides to watch a little more, as Leah says.

"Well, what kind of blessing is there?"

Seiki, who descended on the 10th floor, immediately took out the skill board.

Guard or guard, or fire?

Haruki swipes the board, anticipating the blessing on Esta.

Esta (0) gender: male

Skill points: 2 → 4

Evaluation: Hardworm

Kago: Insect (??)

-Special

Armor destruction 3

Kago 1 NEW

"... I'm not sure."

Seiki dropped her shoulder on a straight text without any twist.

Is God aiming at the blessing worm that sticks to Gejigeji?

Or is it a god of insects that protects Gejigeji?

"Esta. Will you give points to bless you?"

Seiki confirmed it just in case.

Yeesss! And Esta both lifted one leg.

Esta (0) gender: male

Skill points: 4 → 2

Evaluation: Hardworm

Kago: Insect (??) → Tired God (godworm)

-Special

Armor destruction 3

Blessing 1 → MAX

"Muh? This is another minor god."

Insects are one of the pillars of the god that is depicted in the national treasure picture book “Fuyu-e” depicting good gods.

However, it is too minor and there is almost no literature.

Is it not the object of religion but the product of imagination?

It is said that gods keep away plagues.

Perfect for Esta, which is a benefit insect.

"that?"

Seiki's eyes trying to close the skill board caught the emergence of a new skill.

-Vitality

Stamina 0

Natural recovery 1

Epidemics 0 NEW

"Similar to old Takenaka's skills, but different"

Elder Takenaka, who was active in Chikaho, had immunity.

Although epidemics and immunity are a bit different, then ...

Epidemic prevention 0 (keeps state abnormalities) MAX5

From the effect of epidemic prevention, there is no doubt that this skill has emerged thanks to the protection of the worm.

However, there are currently few demons that use abnormal conditions.

Even if you look around the whole country, there are only a handful.

Even the few demons that use state attacks are mostly poisonous.

It is said that fighting poisoned monsters is all you need with an antidote.

Seiki did not find this a useful skill at this time.

Shaking when something happens will not be late.

I wasn't sure whether to shake, but I decided to leave Haruki as it was.

Seiki reached the 14th floor from the 10th floor in 3 days while leveling Esta.

Meanwhile, Esta was eaten by Lutz and beaten back by Cha-cha's fist.

In each case, Esta has not suffered any injuries thanks to its hard shell.

It's like Akane and Uri.

However, his body was safe but his heart was quite hurt.

Esta, who escaped from the mucus while being enthusiastically trapped in the mummies of the eel, which she fought for a trial, appeared somewhat sadly in the eyes of Seiki.

The next day.

Before the dungeon wicket, a lottery fire lotus and a shouting Akane somewhere gathered.

"Is it okay?"

It seems that the trauma has been so severe that the movement has been blocked by receiving Numeneme.

Akane asked Seiki while he was jumping.

"I think it's OK"

It is a hierarchy that has been cleared once.

It can be cleared if there is no major problem

As expected by Haruki, the 14th floor was cleared without fatal problems.

However,

"Ahahahaan!"

Small problems occurred frequently.

Akane was often caught in Numenume, and Esta became a prey to Numenume.

After all, they are similar.

Akane is crying and screaming, and Esta is trapped by Numeneme.

The difference between them is whether they can get out of Numeneme.

Akane can't escape no matter how much the algae is scratching.

On the other hand, Esta escapes from Numeneme.

Seiki buried the eels one after another while watching the bad two with white eyes.

Last time, Haruki struggled more with Numeneme.

However, as the skill level increased due to the rainfall and the battle, the eel could be handled more smoothly than before.

The support of the fire lotus was also good.

Every lightning strike stuns the eel.

Why couldn't Fire Lotus break through the 14th floor in a pair with Akane despite having the power to gain an edge?

Seiki twists her neck, but she is refreshing.

It is important that the avant-garde keep attracting the demon.

With that in mind, Haruki cryed and looked down at Akane who was captured by Numenume with warm eyes.

"Hey, don't look at me, help me soon! Gyaa !!
