Daily Life in the Dungeon

Year 7444, Month 9, Day 3

I watch as my allies disappear from in front of my eyes while holding the teleport crystal rod in the entrance of the dungeon.

After confirming that Zulu and I teleported to the 1st floor. Oh? We're quite a bit of distance away.

I confirm the map and check the route before Zulu and I started forward.

"Zulu, let's arrive there before them. We're hurrying."

"Yes!"

I've passed through it so many times, I know the 1st floor like it's my own yard. Since the completion rate of our map is high as well, since it's a route I know there's no need to worry about traps either. It seems that they're moving a reasonable speed as well.

We crushed five monster rooms (by the stink bug) and arrived at the center teleport room just before 8 am. Since we entered around 5:30 am that means we cleared in about 2 hours. After waiting for about 30 minutes and Zenom and the others arrived.

"After resting for about 30 minutes let's head to the 2nd floor. Zulu, alternate with Angela."

While we were taking a break a party I don't know teleported to the 2nd floor.

We cleared through the 2nd floor without problem before 1 pm and ended up waiting in the teleport room of the 2nd floor. If I think carefully about it I've only entered the dungeon alone with Angela, Zulu, and Miduchi. On our next break, it might be good to tell Zulu and Angela the rough details about everyone's Unique Abilities while we're in the dungeon. I remembered from Unique Abilities but I wonder what ever happened to the expansion ability on Toris's Scale at level 9? I feel like Ralpha's will somehow be useful though.

On the 3rd floor I teamed up with Zulu again and rushed ahead. Since we were only taking the magic stones from the bosses of monster rooms we're quite fast. Just past 4 pm in the afternoon we arrived in the teleport room on the 3rd floor.

Today we'll camp here.

I managed to secure a place ahead of time. I tried asking Zenom and the others during dinner and it seems they didn't have very much trouble either. That's good.

Since Miduchi joined the group, I changed the rotation for keeping lookout. One person doesn't have to keep lookout each day and can sleep until morning the same as Giberuti. Since it was the first time I was the one who ended up resting. Though I've gotten used it, being in the dungeon still wears away at your nerves and along with that it exhausts your stamina as well so I fell asleep right away. Going off of the rotation Miduchi and Ralpha will end up keeping lookout together on the day after tomorrow.

It would be good if she can at least unravel Ralpha's caution(?) a bit but nothing will come of rushing it. It's fine even if it takes six months to a year. Rather if it takes that long then the other members who are getting the experience bonus effect from Unit Organization might catch up to how much extra experience Ralpha has.

Year 7444, Month 9, Day 4

Without any particular problems we were able to arrive at the teleport room of the 5th floor. The thing I was worried about was in the case someone hits a room with an altar but in the first place they almost never appear (as far as we know there's only 9 rooms on the 5th floor) so it can't be helped getting too neurotic over it, is what I decided to think. Miduchi can't use her MP as efficiently as me but elemental magic level 5 isn't just for show. If it's a thickness of about 50 cm then she can freeze an area of about 8 meters in every direction. Putting aside the insanely strong special bosses of certain rooms, if it's just a normal room boss (though calling them normal is a strange way of putting it) or the opponents that come out in the halls then they're no challenge. It uses 10 MP every time she uses the ice but as long as she holds the handle of the magic sword she can recover it in 40 minutes.

She can even use it consecutively making use of her large amount of MP. I doubt she'll fall behind so easily. We were able to establish that even if we split our party we're still plenty able to line up with the top teams.

Incidentally, with the increased number of members in the Unit Organization I thought I would be able to see the bonus to ability values with Identify but I wasn't able to see them. Since it's a proficiency bonus after all they don't seem to be the type that increases the maximum value.

One night passes and it's the next morning. Today I'm last on the rotation for keeping lookout, from 4 am to 6 am. My partner is Toris. I was woken up by Bel and Zulu as I rub my eyes and then wash my face with some cold water, then Toris and I took turns taking a piss in the hall. The trick to creating a good urinal is to create about one bucket of dirt ahead of time and have it sink in a bit. Use it as a reference for something.

Toris and I, the two of us are sitting with our backs to the teleport crystal in the center of the room while talking to kill time.

"Please leave Ralpha to me. Or rather please leave it to Bel to mange things. Rather than the surroundings saying too much it's best to let the two themselves settle things on their own."

"Yeah, that's right."

I know that. And somehow Bel has taken up the central position managing the women's side of things. In some meanings even the men occasionally are overawed by the strange force or pressure she emits as well. If we had everyone state their true feelings we'd probably all say, "It's seriously bad if you anger Bernadette.Koloil." Of course, it's not a joke but I think they really think that just as it sounds.

The source of her power is the God-like archery skills and the spells supported by an abundance of mana but I think what's really feared is her personality. While she has those lovely rabbit ears and a beauty which doesn't fall behind elves making it understandable she was Miss Campus, those glamorous curves that are characteristic of Rabbit-people, and a body which is tense from the exercise. If you just look at her outer appearance it's plenty to be called close to perfect but sometimes the glances she gives to people outside of our allies are like ice. The words that feel like they don't have an ounce of mercy at those times leaves a strong rational impression.

Though it's not like she's really that cold, she's quite warm in her interactions with allies. Particularly her lover Toris she's all over. Though she does get distracted if he falls into danger as well. I've given Miduchi a simple explanation but since she hasn't gotten an actual feel for it yet she probably don't know Bel's true nature. On the contrary Ralpha knows really~ well. On the surface they might seem like nothing more than equal friends but I think deep below Bel has a firm hold at the base of Ralpha's tail.

Particularly since she didn't show those sorts of things on the surface much until we grouped up with Toris, but after they joined us I think Bel is the one who changed the most. I don't know if meeting him again was the chance, her disposition was originally like that and it just came to the surface, it's difficult to make a decision on but the "naivety" that I felt from her at the start the same as Ralpha disappeared.

Honestly speaking, even if it benefits my goal, for example if it was something like burning down an entire village, I think I would hesitate. I think I would devote all my consideration to trying to find a different method to arrive at the same result. However, I'm sure she would burn it down without batting an eyelid. If it was an outsider village. Ah, of course, I think she would at least give them a warning to evacuate.
