Chapter 126
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 27
I gave it my best desperately trying to cling to the protuberances on the floor but they're at best a light uneven slope of about 10 cm and the surface is slimy so there's no way to grab on to them. It's to the point where it was good luck that I somehow managed to shift my posture so I was sliding down with my feet first and my head up. I quickly perceived that the lid of the dark slanted pitfall closed from above.
Because, up until now there was some slight light from the entrance but now it's completely shut off into darkness. This is bad, Identify..and just as I was thinking that I saw some small amount of light from my lower body but! just as I thought that both of my legs were standing properly on the ground. Of course, I still had the momentum remaining so I ended up rolling along just like that.
I touched the floor and felt the sensation of solid and dry dirt. Then I'll use the spell {Light}..I can't use it. In that case Identify, I can't use thsi either! What does this mean!? I suddenly started to feel helpless in the pitch darkness so I started to search around for the long sword I had let go of before I realized it and started crawling around but I couldn't find it.
Shit!! What in the world!? is this.
I can understand that I fell in something like a pitfall. I also know that the lid of it closed right away. Along the way down I saw a bit of fine light but..was that, teleportation huh!? Is this not the 3rd floor that I was on until just now!?
I looked upwards and yelled out "Hey!" but there was no response.
I thought I might end up calling some monsters over so I thought again and stopped yelling but the impulse to scream out remains just as large as before. We were just a bit away from defeating Franken. I wonder if, those guys will be alright? I think they should have been able to defeat it in another one or two hits, so I want to believe that they're fine but..Somehow I suddenly start to feel uneasy about it.
Come to think of it, since it seems I've survived the immediate emergency, it might just be my imagination but I feel hungry..I'm hungry! Ah,aaaa,aaa,aa....Shit! This feeling. It's mana exhaustion!
This is bad, this is bad, this is bad. This is very bad!
Following that I intensely want to have sex.
The desire to sleep has quickly started to come on as well.
I guess it's because I was in a situation where I didn't even have the time to worry about feeling any desires until now. Otherwise, the anxiety I felt around the time I hit the ground was caused by running out of MP as well?
Ah, my bag. There should be three days worth of preserved food in my bag but..It's not here! I should have been carrying it on my back..damn it! I pulled out the pin and threw it aside before charging into Franken. Then, in that case the emergency use antidote and healing potion that I put into the pack on my D ring..I guess it was no good that I had put it inside of a leather bag but the medicine bottle feels like it shattered inside the bag.
Then, in that case..Ah, shit, I feel hungry and my crotch is raging with violent energy. I took off the crotch protector portion of my rubber protectors. It hurt since it was hitting. Of course I'm still holding the crotch portion that I took off. There's no way I'd throw it away right. However, with this my only belonging is the flask I had hanging from my tassets on the opposite side. It seems that this one is safe but it's empty. No, there might be one or two drops of water remaining though.
My weapons are..the brass knuckles in the fists of both of my gauntlets and the throwing needles built into the simple shield on both of my arms for a total of 20 of them, and the knife I have fixed to the band on my right thigh. It seems my safe is safe as well.
However, I'm tired. Boiling. Hungry. If it was just one, since I'm already an adult I'm sure I can still endure it. However, for all three primary desires to come at once, what kind of torture is this? If I felt like it I could at least take care of sexual desire but if I was attacked or killed by a monster in the middle of that, for an eternity..rather if I die here there isn't even a next era.
Ah, but, I've been rolling over here and there while screaming.
If there was a monster nearby then it's strange that I wasn't long since attacked.
Then, in that case I guess there aren't any monsters nearby, in other words...The moment I feel like I'm able to start thinking clearly, the feeling of wanting to satisfy my desires gets stronger to where I can't hold it back. Shit, shit!! Be cool! The feeling of starvation is terrible!
I'm tired!
I want to do it!
I was able to think "No matter what I do isn't staying in the center of the room a bad idea? with the little remaining ability to think I had. It would be good if I can make it to the wall but I don't know which direction the wall is in.
I'm hungry!
I want to do it!
Tired!
Ah, really, I don't mind if I die so just let me eat something! I remember back to the food I ate on a trip to a hot spring ryokan once. The raw whitebait was delicious. Why am I only remember small fish?
