Haruki and his colleagues returned to the normal floor from the secret room and headed for the 15th floor.

The boss strengthened the Werewolf by about two steps, and he was a slightly larger look.

Anticipating the struggle, Seiki secured a considerable safety margin.

However, the fighting power was raised by several levels, and Haruki and his friends wore Wolf with armor and sleeves. We were able to win a sealed victory.

The Werewolf boss was never weak.

The boss transformed himself on the way, transforming his upper body into a form that is almost human.

At the moment of the transformation, Seiki and Esta overjoyed forgetting the battle.

`` If the monster is deformed !? Cool! ''

"(Nyanyaniya !!)"

The gaze of the women looking at such brilliant light ...

"Um ... in combat? 』

"(Teron ...)"

It was very cold.

It will take some time for them to understand Han's romance.

Aside, the transformed boss fought using a wooden stick on the ground as a weapon.

This is a big change in shape that cannot be done by a former boss.

In addition, the boss's skill was high, and his power and agility were outstanding.

But,

"I thought I was a stronger partner ..."

"Well ... I thought I had a hard time."

Screaming sadly, Kun ... The boss sinking into the ground, Haruki and others looked at the imaginary face.

There was too much room for the boss fight, and I didn't feel like defeating the boss.

He improved his skills by strengthening the tree, and leveled up by fighting the evil enemies of the lower gods.

In addition, Haruki learned the power attack, and can now perform a powerful attack that is far from the conventional one.

Only three weeks during this time.

In three weeks, Seiki's skill level has improved tremendously.

The phenomenal changes in a short period of time drastically disrupted body movements and perceptions, as was the case when the skills were first strengthened.

How crazy were you?

In this battle, Haruki was finally recognized.

"I need to spend some time getting the power I get into my body ..."

If you can't properly recognize and handle your power, you'll waste a lot of things.

Then, like a former Werewolf or like a rain shower, it's beautiful, fun and unfightable.

And waste leads to bad habits.

So, for the future, it seems better to spend a little time on recognizing your body and awareness.

When I activated the gate on the 16th floor and looked at the clock, it was already past 18:00.

Akane's store is already closed.

(I wanted something to be hurriedly evaluated ...)

Seiki sighed to be able to return a little earlier.

The reason why it took a long time was that the 15th floor was more than four times as large as the first floor, but first of all, the search was very wasteful.

It's a racing game, the same logic as running a car with the maximum horsepower hitting a wall.

No matter how strong you are, if you can't handle it correctly, the efficiency will not increase.

Today I took more margin than I needed, scared by demons more than necessary, and surprised more than necessary.

Those little stacks led to the present time.

But now that the bad point is visible, it's a chance.

If you squash the problem, growth is promised.

"Today ends here. Tomorrow is because of shoulder break-in."

"Yes, I understand"

Returning to the ground and looking away at the lotus, Seiki returned home.

[Road to presence to be noticed] ① Manager: Air

"The Werewolf Boss! 』

It's really air (^ o ^)

We defeated Werewolf boss today (^ o ^)

The Werewolf boss is amazing.

Transform!

Looks cool !! (> _ <)

I saw the transformation of the demon for the first time, but it is good.

Will demons transforming like that increase in the future?

If so, the excitement will not stop (> _ <)

I want to be able to show my presence like a transformation.

…, I saw it with cold eyes from the female team members.

Why is that?

Did you not understand the transformation romance? (==

I did my best in the dungeons today as well!

Is this one step closer to the future where presence can be gained? Wonder?

Pichipan, Pichipan.

Chunky chunky.

early morning. Before the alarm rang, Seiki woke up with the sound of a bird.

A bird is singing very close. It is a sound suitable for the morning.

Seiki opens his eyes.

Then there was a little bird beside the pillow.

It is a white, fluffy bird. It looks very comfortable when hugged.

"... where did you come from?"

Even if Seiki gazes staring, she doesn't seem to escape.

It's like I'm convinced that there are no humans here ...

――No matter.

Haruki immediately negates his negative thoughts.

What happened next to Haruki who is troubled? As I said, the bird tilted her head.

"Pip?"

"Stuff ..."

I was inadvertently overlooked and almost lost my heart.

(Oh, I have Rare and Esta!)

Haruki remembers Leah and Esta, and shakes off the temptation of the little bird.

As Seiki struggled with temptation, the bird lowered a little and stowed his feet in his body.

Immediately the hair is “Nummo! ] It swelled up.

「――Well !!」

Haruki was knocked out with a single shot, as if the birds were fluffy.

I don't want to resist anymore.

OK, let's admit.

This bird is number one!

"Where did you come from?"

I asked my hand, but the bird said, "ぴ? ] And tilted his head.

Now what is it? It is a gesture like saying.

Windows are open but screen doors are closed.

The room door remains closed.

There is no approach route anywhere.

"... maybe?"

At last, Haruki turned his eyes to a dungeon search bag.

I looked for the mysterious egg stone I got in the secret room yesterday, but couldn't find it.

Instead, there was a thin, loose stone under the bag-under the jar full of potato stones.

The color is the same as the mysterious egg stone I got the other day.

no doubt.

White birds were born from eggstones.

"What is born from a stone ...?"

The egg stone was an egg in appearance, but the feel was a perfect stone.

I did not expect that birds would hatch.

Seiki picked up a piece of stone from her bag and watched the bird fly up and down on Seiki's head.

"Muh?"

"... Pyo?"

No good? The face of Haruki loosens loosely with a sweet twitter asking.

(I don't know ...)

「―― !?」

At that time, Seiki felt chills.

It was an intense chill that didn't feel much outside of a dungeon.

The place of chills is the entrance of Seiki's room.

Seiki turned his eyes immediately,

「――Hah !!」

I inhale unexpectedly.

The door of the room opens slightly, from which leaves slightly protrude.

Lea stared at Seiki, as if she was a hobby housekeeper with a peep.

While releasing a poisonous aura from that body ...

Esta, who was secretly looking out of the window and looking inside, suddenly walked away from the place with a whitish attitude saying, "Oh, I have to keep my house-I'm busy."

"That's different, this is the reason-"

"(ぷ i)"

Rare who turned her face (?) Disappeared from the door.

"Well, wait!"

Haruki in a hurry follows Rare.

Why are you bothered and why you are scared? And I didn't know what I was afraid of, but anyway Seiki felt she had to stop Leah and make an excuse.

It took 30 minutes for Seiki to convince Leah.

Persuasion was a series of very nervous tasks.

If you want to say, "I'm beautiful today," I'm going to say, "What is" ha "today?" What is it? !! " Like a woman, she had to pay close attention to even "Teneha" during persuasion.

I wasn't so tired when working at a former workplace and hosting a customer like a yakuza.

It was the most tired 30 minutes in Seiki's life.

As soon as Seiki finished his preparations and left the house, the lotus, who was waiting in front of the dungeon, rushed a little and trotting.

"Good morning sky star ... that?"

Fire Lotus looked at Seiki's head and narrowed her eyes.

Stare at the head with tremendous control while tilting the neck and changing the angle.

"Soraboshi has taken a normal animal!"

"……Hey"

The strange point of the fire lotus is strange.

"What do ordinary animals mean ..."

"Because Sky Star, only special monsters can be tempted!"

`` What do you think of me !? ''

It's astonishing that you're betting your life on taming an unusual animal.

Seiki calmly plunged into the open lotus.

Of course, Seiki wants to take on ordinary animals and demons.

It just didn't work.

It is not that Seiki's hobbies and behavior are bad.

"... Is it edible?"

"Well not!"

"e?"

He seems to have to talk with the lotus once.

Seiki puts her hand on her forehead and shakes her head.

"When I woke up in the morning, the eggs hatched."

"Eggs ... oh, maybe that stone you got yesterday?"

"Ah"

"Hey. That's good. I also want ........."

When there was a pause between the subtle words, Seiki certainly saw the lotus looking down at Girari's own pocket.

(……Yup)

Seiki, who knew what she wanted to say, nodded at her rough inner heart without blame.

The lotus that seems to want to experience Mofumofu while moving enchantedly moves his hands aside.

A little bird, terrified by the ominous movement, hid himself in the feather ring of Seiki's neck.

"Don't scare me too much."

"... mmm. By the way, what kind of bird is that?"

"Well? I'm a little bird born of stone."

Seiki shook her head.

Seiki doesn't know much about birds. At best, you can tell the difference between pigeons and crows.

Even better, these birds are creatures born from egg stones obtained in dungeons.

A creature that lives in the natural world, or a monster that lives in a dungeon.

Seiki couldn't help identifying the type of bird.

"Do you understand Mr. Akane?"

"Oh, you can understand the material because you can do it."

"What about that?"

"Hmm?"

"It's like a little bird, as if it were a material."

The fire lotus stared at Seiki with staring eyes.

"... I don't have any other intention"

"Is it true?"

Denied, but little trust from Lotus.

Why?

I put my hand on my chest, but I don't know.

"Let's show it to Akane for the time being"

"I agree"

Seiki opens the prefabricated door and enters inside.

"Wow!"

Then, Akane welcomed Seiki with a smile.

In an unusual manner, Haruki gets an eye to see stuffy things.

"..."

"What's your eyes?"

"No, I don't think it's suspicious."

`` What, you're not doing anything suspicious !? ''

Neither "terrible" nor "rude" nor suspicious.

That word is already suspicious enough. Suspicion is deepening.

"That's right, it's the air. Do you know what's going on in Japan right now?"
