"Not really, you don't run into enemies..."

"Right..."

After a dangerous battle with electric sheep.

Spring Town Sensei and I were both feeling subtle awkwardness as we continued our exploration.

To parable, a couple who made weird mistakes on their first date.

They also tell each other that they pretend they don't care about each other, but they don't know what to do.

Honestly, it's a very bad vibe.

(Nevertheless, what is really going on...)

I desperately circle my thoughts in my head as I go down the aisle.

The teacher's a barber, and I'm a knife or Matsuaki.

Both can only be melee and interrupt each other in encounters in the aisle.

Somewhere as flimsy as a small room, you can adjust your position and fight well... but not in a aisle that's only three or four meters wide.

Slipping past the enemy every time would be quite dangerous.

(Uh-huh... I knew I had a weapon... But letting the teacher use the knife is also whether that will work...)

Try to simulate the battle if the teacher uses a knife in his head.

The two of us approach the enemy, attacking the enemy so as not to harm each other, and then the enemy...

(... no. I'm sure I'd rather fight alone, still strong)

I have no good vision at all.

The strength of the teacher is due to the beautiful streak of barbs and precise steeple aim.

I don't have arm power, and letting him have a knife won't make an effective attack.

Besides, waving a knife side-by-side between the two of them is absolutely hard to do.

I didn't think it would work, no matter what you think, such as attacking each other with mutual consideration.

…………

…………

Me and Dr. Harumachi going down the aisle, silently.

Though I can't think of a solution, the map is burying well.

More than half of the floor has already been mapped.

We keep exploring, and...

"… sir"

"Ah."

Looking at the end of the aisle, we hang up briefly.

Approximately ten minutes from the earlier battle with the electric sheep.

Finally, we discovered this last little room on the floor.

(Is that... a laughing pumpkin? Lv is 7. It seems difficult to strike by accident)

Quietly peek inside and check the treasure chest keeper.

Still a treasure chest in the center of the room.

And behind it, a laughing pumpkin was sitting slightly sideways.

"Doctor, as per the meeting"

"Yeah, I know."

"... All right, then let's go. I'll take care of the timing."

That's what I say. Pull the knife out of the sheath.

The method of warfare when a laughing pumpkin is the other party has already been decided.

It's a disturbing tactic for both of us, with my attack as the spindle.

The teacher grips the six-step, looks me in the eye and nods.

And he breathed heavily, and then let himself leap into the small room.

I'll follow that, too, and run towards the inside.

"GYAHA!"

A giant pumpkin that notices us and makes a creepy laugh, as its name suggests.

I'm slowly spinning and trying to set my aim here.

The first target looks like Dr. Harumachi.

"Doctor!"

"Leave it to me!

Dr. Harumachi raises a reliable voice and runs to escape the target.

Totally free, I ran it into a pumpkin laughing sideways.

And...

"Go!

"GYA......!?

Flash.

A groaning voice leaked out of the laughing pumpkin's mouth at a thoughtful blow all over his body.

If you look, there's a deep crack on the surface.

Apparently I could do more damage than the LV10 guy I fought before.

Again, it seems that the difference in LV affects the amount of damage as it should.

"Look, what's up! You're not gonna shoot me?

"GYA...... GYAHAA!

"Ha! Can you hit that!

You can hear it from beyond the pumpkin, Dr. Harumachi's voice.

I heard a shock noise called Bacock, but that would be the sound of a laughing pumpkin seed attack hitting the wall.

The teacher seems to play a brilliant role.

"Wow!

"GYAHAAA!?

I'll give you another blow.

Thanks to the teacher, this one is a total no-mark.

I could safely attack with all my might.

I have a deep scratch on the surface of the laughing pumpkin, and I flip the knife as it is.

More pursuit.

"GYA...... AA......!

In a flash of running again, the laughing pumpkin stops moving.

And...

"GYAHA…"

A giant pumpkin that turns into a particle of light with a small groan.

In seconds, the figure disappeared completely.

"Phew..."

Sigh and put the knife in the sheath.

Complete victory.

It was a small room where the place was easy to combine, and the enemy's LV was not expensive, so we could fight a lot more sparingly.

The number of attacks required is only three.

They still did more damage in one attack than the laughing pumpkins in the LV10 they fought before.

(Well for now, I'm so glad I won. The look on the teacher's face seems a little brighter)

I'm just a little relieved to see Dr. Harumachi giving a quiet thank you.

Long after the struggle with the electric sheep, the teacher's expression was dark.

However, it seems that this time we were able to work together and fight properly, so things got a little better.

Well, if we run into enemies in the aisle again, we could be backwards again...

(... In the meantime, open the chest)

Stop observing Dr. Harumachi and head to the center of the room.

Then he crouched in front of the chest and slowly opened the lid.

Inside...

Breathtaking and intuitive by accident.

The item in the chest, it was… what I needed most right now.

I immediately read the instructions that were in there with me.

"Love Crossbow", highly aggressive crossbow (Ishiyumi). Up to five arrows are automatically charged each time you enter the dungeon. In addition, if an arrow is stabbed by a person who has romantic feelings for the user, the opponent is not wounded and instead strengthens his affection for the user. Not for use outside the dungeon. The effective range is 30 meters. Available times: ∞ times'

(Ok! I knew this was a weapon for ranged attacks...!

Get your hands inside the chest and lift that item.

Love crossbow.

It looks similar to a bowgun and feels like a gun with a bow on it.

There is something like a lever in the barrel, but pulling this will probably load the arrow from the upper magazine.

Will it weigh about two kilos?

It's a little hard to stand with one hand, but I feel light with both hands.

With proper hands, even weak people can stabilize their aim.

"Simino, that's..."

"Yeah, apparently it can be used as a weapon.... Doctor, can we fight through this ray while we're aware of the hit-and-away?

"!! Oh, of course, I can......!

Dr. Harumachi snorts loudly at my words.

Looks a little excited.

Apparently, the teacher also noticed the great potential of this item.

Me and my teacher just left the small room and resumed our exploration.

Aim is not an item or an entrance to the next floor, monster.

We both couldn't help knowing to what extent the presence of a romantic crossbow would affect the fight.

And ten minutes after I left the room.

Most of the maps are filled, and somewhat we know the way to the third level.

"Oh, Doctor...!

"Oh, there you are..."

A long passage of about twenty meters, bent at the corner.

As much as that, there was a beast of yellow hair.

That's for sure, electric sheep.

This is my third encounter on this expedition.

I'm turning my back on this one, and I don't see how I noticed this one.

If you check the LV, 9...... I mean, it was the same level you struggled with earlier.

"... I'll try to pre-empt it for now. The teacher..."

"Ah. Then I go in and stop while I'm aware of Simino's second blow. For now, we will focus on defense, so Saino needs to look at the situation and give us instructions."

"Okay."

After a brief discussion, the teacher sets up a stick and I set up a romantic crossbow.

The romantic crossbow is not equipped with a scope, but instead is provided in front of it with a round small circle that seems to be able to be used to specify the aim.

Did you call this an iron site or something?

There's just a protuberance on the tip of the crossbow, and if we put both that and the enemy in this wheel, we're going to be targeted.

"… I'm going"

Speak to the teacher and put your finger on the trigger.

And he set his aim well, and put his strength into his fingers.

At that moment...

Bash!

"MEEEE!!?

Arrows fired at high speeds from romantic crossbows.

It flew in a precise straight line and pierced the electric sheep's ass with momentum.

Naturally, the impact leaps the body of an electric sheep and screams out of its mouth.

Based on the painful appearance of it, it seems to have done a lot of damage.

"... I'm coming!

That's what Dr. Harumachi says, and he marches on to the electric sheep as he meets.

And with a sharp poke with few gaps, he finally attacked the enemy who looked back at us.

"Huh! Ha!

"ME, MEEE!?

A quick double penetration, so fast that I suspect you're reaching the speed of sound.

It hits both heads and shakes the heads of electric sheep.

But the shake is small and doesn't feel like it's doing a lot of damage.

Looks like it's just an attack I made for restraint.

I pull the lever of a romantic crossbow while I get a little closer to such an electric sheep and teacher.

Gachan, the sound.

If you look at it, it was properly loaded with arrows and ready to fire.

"Second shot, you can do it!

"Whoa!"

To my voice, the teacher lowers obliquely while poking the electric sheep's head again.

That made the ray go through, and I set my aim firmly and pulled the trigger.

"MEEEEEE......!!

"All right!"

The second arrow is also a brilliant hit.

Besides, it's a good place to hit.

The arrow was stabbed deep in the left eye of the electric sheep.

"MEE…"

Electric sheep make a fine squeal and fall slowly.

And as soon as the torso was on the floor, it turned into a flock of particles of light.

Victory.

…………

…………

I stop putting up crossbows and come close to Dr. Harumachi.

The teacher also walked over here.

And...

"... you did it! Sir!"

"Ah! If this way of fighting, I can...!

We both shine our faces and discuss our response to this way of fighting.

Fighting with a romantic crossbow was much better than I had imagined.

The offense was impeccable, and the combination was decent.

We both did the avant-garde and the rear guard perfectly, and there would be no more way to fight.

Me and Dr. Harumachi have a full smile and keep honoring each other.

Earlier it was a struggle, LV9 electric sheep.

By being able to crusade it perfectly, the unpleasant air just now completely disappeared.
