It happened the next day.
I was at the entrance to the school dungeon, in front of the first floor.
At the entrance, the stone wall that would have risen from below, as if to refuse entry to every person, obstructs entry and exit.
What comes from the palm that touches the stone wall is a hard, cold will to reject.
"I guess it's been two years since I first got inside you.Is it long or short? "
Leave your back to the stone wall and I'll sit on the spot.
The first spring that comes to mind is the 13-year-old spring, when the level has reached its limit.
I broke into the school dungeon through the escape route and used the materials I stole from the school to make explosives and destroy the ceiling in search of the "seeds of the stars".
Even though I remember the satisfaction that comes from self-portrayal and self-praise, I think I still did well, I talk about the dungeon gently and thoughtfully.
"I just feel a little bad about the ceiling blast, too.My first intrusion, I couldn't figure it out.But thanks to that, I was able to acquire the Seeds of the Stars and establish a way into the dungeon... and that's why I decided to keep going to the dungeon.If it weren't for that, I'd think it would have been slower for us to meet, and it would have rained and solidified, or it wouldn't have been a bad surprise. "
You don't have to say anything back.
After all, this is just nostalgic thoughts coming from my nostalgia.
So it doesn't matter if you don't respond, it's just an egoism that wants you to know what I think.
"I miss the days when I used a monster-like perfume that I bartered from the school shopping department to encourage leveling.Unlike games, I felt like the encore rate was dropping, so I snuck into the school alcohol room to improve it, read the recipe for making items, and find a way to concentrate the perfume. "
"Hey, the one sitting at the entrance to the dungeon.Were you there yesterday? "
"Nh... it's true. The one who was dragged by Mr. Hitogaki's neck."
"From there, I tried and mistakenly concentrated at home up to six times!Well... when I dumped the failed work in a garbage dump, the sweet smell spread around, causing a strange smell noise and the Knights to come. "
At that time, the failed work "Monster's Perfume" was similar to potion as a classification, and it was a shame to realize that even if I hit the ground and sprinkled the contents, it was judged to be "using an item".
After all, I was able to hone my [Potion] skills by throwing it through the window to the garbage dump.
"Potion Magic" is a skill that increases the amount of potion items depending on the skill level, but it has been transformed into a skill that handles potions well with realism.
This has increased the speed with which potions are used, allowing them to be consumed naturally and smoothly in battle.
Now it is no exaggeration to say that the power under the edge that supports my way of fighting is plain.
Without this, I wouldn't have been able to practice slashing with my uncle, Kensei.
And without that lesson, the growth of interpersonal combat would have been problematic, and I'm sure I'd have been cut off by now without a fight with Hitogaki.
If I hadn't decided to go to the school dungeon, I wouldn't have been able to find a way to concentrate "Monster Perfume", and I would have been late in obtaining "Potion Magic".
Given that, I can say that my strength was taken care of by the school dungeon in aspects other than experience.From the depths of your chest, your gratitude rises.
"Speaking of perfume, 24 layers of dungeon!With the effect of concentrated perfume, it turned out to be a good place to earn money by fighting the game age!It was a troublesome place because there were several small rooms connected in several corridors, like a maze, and there were no signs in the original, so it took time to get lost once I got lost, but when I found out that I could circle all the small rooms in a single stroke by grasping the map, I smiled unexpectedly!Originally, the perfume I used for myself was scattered in each small room, and the concentrated smell drifted through it, so I realized that it was good to sniff it out and knock down the monsters I had gathered! "
"Didn't he talk to himself like that yesterday if it wasn't a mistake in my memory?"
"I have a very good memory, but what the guy over there is talking about hasn't changed from yesterday..."
"I remember every word of it, and you're scared..."
Thanks to this, I was able to earn experience and develop my 'Alchemy' skills to create perfumes.
Moreover, since many of the materials dropped by the 24 layers of monsters could be used to make perfume, I continued hunting on the 24 layers for a time like My Boom.
"Speaking of which, it seems that it was the hunt on the 24th floor that made Cypress Gaki realize my existence, but I don't remember encountering Cypress Gaki or leaving a trace that leads to me even though I remember being chased by the morality commissioner occasionally.Hey, do you have anything in mind? "
"I'm talking to you like you're asking a friend about the wall. Shit, yeah."
"Your eyes are completely dead.Shouldn't we call a commissioner? "
The words thrown with a smile seeped into the stone wall, but there was no response from the dungeon.I'm sure the school dungeon is shy.
As for me, there is no shame in showing others the depth of my bond with the dungeon, but it seems that the dungeon is not.
If so, eliminate the factors that make the dungeon's shame boil.That should make our communication smoother.
"These guys aren't spectacular!Yikes!! Yikes!! "
"I suddenly screamed!"
"Come this way! Run!"
"Hmm, I don't love anyone else."
With the monkey shouting along with the slide movement by gait, the surrounding gallery ran away scattered.
I stand in front of the stone wall when I make sure no one else is around, and I smack the wall that still refuses me.
"There was a lot going on between me and you."There are many bad memories, such as being chased around by a morality commissioner or having a strong experience and stepping into a swarm of monsters with bad taste.I think I was able to accumulate many times as many fun memories. "
To wake up a sleeping child, I keep beating him with all kindness.
"I have you... no, not just me.Everyone in this school needs you.Hundreds... Including the future, that's what hundreds of millions of people need you for.Don't you think this is a mess? "
Stop your hand and put your forehead against the trick and wall.
A cool chill comes from the stone wall.That makes me feel more comfortable and smile unexpectedly.
"There are a lot of people running for you right now.I honestly don't know what you're thinking with your mouth shut.But we want to live with you.So just a little... just a little, so why don't you give us a chance to talk to you? "
tick and forehead, tick and forehead, tick and forehead.
Coldness turns into intense heat.I can't afford to feel the pain on my forehead.
"The entrance is blocked like this... and there's no way out...I can't go in there.What are you complaining about... I wonder if it's the meaning of your dungeon to invite adventurers to fight monsters...! "
Soon the rattling sound turned into a dull, strong sound.
Something lukewarm comes down from my forehead, but I don't care about that.This is what we need to do to get past this shitty wall.
Open it. Open it.
Love turns into hatred.
I've been thinking so much about the dungeon (and I want to use it), but this dungeon won't answer anything!
"Open, open, open, open, open!!"
I beat my head on the stone wall over and over again.
No, not only the head, but also the fist and the body will not go to the end of the stone wall with all their strength.
Skin rubs, blood seeps, flesh screams and bones scream at the impact.
Still, I won't stop the assault.The mental pain of not being able to challenge the dungeon is dozens of times stronger than the physical pain.
"Don't get on your nerves!What's the value of a dungeon you can't challenge?Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!! "
There he is. Sakurai!
Sakurai-san! Please stop this!
"Get off me!! I'm busy right now!Don't mind me!! "
The cypress and Iris came from somewhere and grabbed me by the body trying to stop me from turning into a wall tennis ball.
But I'm busy going over the stone wall right now.Shake off the two of you who don't know that, and I'll keep raiding the walls.
What are you doing, Sakurai!?
"Hey Thor!? You're not bloody, you idiot!!"
"Anyway, we have to stop Sakurai-kun!"
Yeah, the heroes of the Statue Elephant (Main Character) aren't stopping me!
I have to get ahead of this wall!For me, for everyone, I have to solve this problem on behalf of all those who want dungeons!
That's my duty to keep this dungeon in my hands and ultimately to own it!Don't bother, don't bother!!
"Get off me! Get off me!"
"If you do more, you're going to die, idiot!"
"Sakurai-san, please be quiet!I can't burn it that way! "
"Somebody get me a potion!The injury gets worse when you try to force down the current Tall! "
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!Get over the texture!! "
"Come on, Sakurai! Don't talk nonsense!"
Sakurai-kun, stop it!
I'm aaah! I'm ahhhhhhh!!Into the dungeon!!
And when I shook it off and stormed it from my head, it was so bad that I came to the 'Underworld (this way)' again.
Unsullied tote Sensei
"I'm glad you're lucky you got here, but you're being an asshole, right?Should I open my head and wash it once? "
"No, I'm really sorry."
The attending physician who had been taken care of in the "Underworld" before, the magical god Toto Sensei lowered his head without a word to return the curse.
I'm Hiromi Sakurai, 15 years old.
It was the second death in my second life.
