Sekkusu & danjon! ! ~ Wagaya no chika ni, H kaisū = reberu no danjon ga shutsugen shita

Labyrinth that suddenly appeared in our basement.

I decided to explore it and went home first.

My parents have always told me that preparation is important for adventure.

It's the pinnacle of stupidity, like stepping into an unknown realm without any support.

"... All right"

Finish your preparations and stand at the entrance to the labyrinth.

Leather gloves on the hands, sturdy boots with iron plates on the bottom of the feet, and safari jackets on the back of the parents' clothes.

And it's a survival knife on the hips and a smaller rucksack with a variety of tools on the back.

The fact that the house has so many preparations for adventure has made it a lot more fully equipped.

(According to the book, the first layer should only have low LV monsters...... The goal is to recover the first layer of items as much as possible while watching how they are doing, and to survive)

Reaffirm your goals in your head and step out.

My current LV is zero, whereas the LV for the first layer of monsters is 1 to 5.

I want to try once to see how far I can go and see how much difference in LV will affect the fight.

And I want to get at least one of the Magic Tools that was also mentioned in the book.

Of course it's not good to be greedy too much, but you should know what the rewards of your adventure are.

…………

Proceed down the hallway as you feel your heart pounding.

Eventually I passed where I had come earlier, and I arrived ahead of me, in front of the descending stairs.

From here on out, monsters also appear in the area.

(The first tier of enemies are four species: "Mourning Tanuki", ”Male Rat", ”Blue Rose" and ”Vain Hinoki”... No one fought weird, shouldn't)

Before going down the stairs, recall the contents of the notebook.

I've already read all of that book, and I've tapped the information from first to fifth tiers into my head.

Knowledge would suffice.

"Phew......... Okay."

Exhale and calm your mind, going down the stairs.

More excitement than anxiety.

I'm still like an adventurer.

Would it have gone down about fifty steps as it was?

Eventually the stairs were over and I set foot on the first level.

(It hasn't changed its appearance...... it's stone built. The wind is blowing towards the back. The smell over here is probably found out......)

Proceed cautiously down the aisle with a little concern that you are standing on the wind.

Again, it's just a labyrinth, and the road is complicated.

The book didn't even list the structure of the labyrinth, and from here on out, I'll have to do my own exploration.

(In the meantime, let's move along the right wall...)

Nod one person in your heart and walk slowly.

A maze can be a light attack by holding your hand against the wall on the right and even moving along the wall.

This is one of the typical solutions of the maze: the right hand method.

Of course there are many things that cannot be solved with that, but at least I don't have to worry about not knowing my way home.

If you want to go home, all you have to do is turn around and walk along the wall again.

………… ... All right)

Whenever the bend comes, proceed with caution and asking how it is.

Proceed, alert, bend, proceed, alert, bend….

The creation of the labyrinth is complicated, and if you explore it in the dark clouds, you're sure to get lost.

Maybe we should move on while mapping the next time we come.

Well, even if you get lost, if you take more than a certain amount of damage, they'll transfer you to the entrance, so you'll probably be able to make an emergency escape by self-injury.

…………

The search went smoothly, and there was nothing left but enough.

The first layer seems to be quite large, and if the sensation is correct, it is now about three hundred meters away at a straight distance from the stairs already.

Now I still don't run into monsters, so maybe the floor area is bigger than I imagined.

(But this pine light... on what principle is it burning...?

Seeing the pine lights hanging at equal intervals on the walls raises such questions with nature.

There's air, so I know there's gonna be a combustion reaction.

The problem is that it keeps burning.

It's been a long time since I discovered this labyrinth, and it's obviously odd that the flames are still rising.

It is true that the duration of the pine light should be about two hours long...

(Well, you'll lose if you care...)

Throw away your questions lightly and concentrate on exploring.

This is a world of concepts like LV that I don't understand.

Quite a bit of common sense should be discarded.

Eventually I reached a slightly open space like a small room.

Kill your breath and peek inside through the entrance.

(Crate in the center...... But if you don't move on the wall, you're a vain beast...)

The room is about ten tatami size.

In the middle, a treasure chest made of wood and iron that seems to contain treasures.

And in the corner of the room there were trees growing about two metres high.

There is not a single leaf, and there are three cavities in the trunk of the tree that look like a man's face.

That look is just "vain."

It looks just like the illustration in the notebook, and that's definitely a vain hinoki.

(My face is pointing this way... are you noticing me...?

Turn your thoughts inside to the creepy void hinoki look.

If you are aware of this one, it may be difficult to sneak open the crate and take away the contents.

Well, of course I don't have that courage, and I wanted to go through the fight once, so I wouldn't ignore it.

I'm going to fight it right and fish the chest with dignity.

I close one eye just in case and check the LV of the hinoki instead.

The number 1 floating in sight.

Lv1... Considering that this Lv is 0, it might be a good opponent.

I got ready, pulled the knife out and jumped into the room.

"UAAAAAA..."

"Huh!"

From the vain hinoki's mouth, a moaning little groan rises.

Is it a threat to us?

Vacancy Hinoki is coming this way with Nosonoso as it is.

Because I'm dragging my roots, or not fast.

I can't seem to move half as fast as I can.

"Holy shit!

Aware of the hit-and-away, he puts a knife in his torso to quickly distance himself.

Feels like you slapped a decaying tree.

The expression "crushed" seems more correct than "cut".

(The attack is through...!

Feeling the response, slash it again.

Now it's the part of the branch that's like an arm.

Successfully disconnected as intended, and I quickly took another distance.

"UAA…"

You flinched into this attack, and your vain hinoki moves abound.

I cut into my torso again from the direction I lost my arm and became safe.

Now with all your strength, deep down.

The Vacant Hinoki scattered large pieces of wood on my attack.

"UA, A…"

The body of a vain hinoki falls without power.

Looks like the blow worked pretty well now.

It doesn't look like it's going to hit us anymore.

And...

……

The fallen void, the body of the hinoki, instantly turns into a particle of light, diffusing so that it can be bounced.

As it was, the particles of light were sucked into the ground and walls of the labyrinth, and a few seconds later everything disappeared.

It's just me and the chest in the room.

Looks like we've won the fight.

"Ha, hu..."

Drain strength from your shoulders and breathe heavily.

This is my first fight. I was only quite nervous, but apparently I did well.

The number of attacks is only three.

Maybe a LV1 monster would make it easier for me to win right now.

(But I'm just tired...)

A great sense of fatigue felt by the body.

I'm a regular student, and this is the first day I've ever fought.

I've never even had this fight in my life, so it's my first experience hurting others.

Though the fighting time was marginal, I got a lot more nervous and tired.

(Just take the contents of this chest and let's go home today...)

Put the knife in the sheath and approach the crate.

Though I wanted to explore it as much as possible, it would be better to return at this rate.

We should just fish this crate and honestly end our exploration.

I slowly opened the chest as I thought I was going to have a hard time exploring the dungeon.

It was in there.

(candles and, paper......?

Pumped inside the crate are white candles with no philosophy whatsoever and a piece of western paper with something written on it.

I took the paper and read its contents.

The letters written are still in Japanese.

And the contents seemed to explain this candle.

"A candle that calls for the night," this candle uses to make the men and women in that room want each other hard. Not for outdoor use. Number of times available: once '
