91 – Broken
Prop
“That’s
strange, I didn’t see any flowers bloom. Did it grow like a fig?”
When I went
to the garden through the veranda, I noticed some of the pillars for the
cucumbers were broken.
“Whoa! What
happened!?”
It’s a
fruit that is still safe even after falling from over 10 meters.
It’s
obvious that it would break the pillar after hitting it.
“Still,
were the hiratori fruits always this hard?”
The ones I
picked up before were so soft that my fingers would sink in when I held them.
I picked up
the hiratori fruit from the garden and it felt the same as before?
“Hmm?”
92 –
Verification
I feel that
strange things will continue happening, so giving up, I start picking up the
fruits.
I store
everything in the refrigerator and then water the garden.
And then
starts today’s dungeon exploration.
Today’s
goal is to kill three Giant Lizards and confirm that physical strength rises along
with the level.
Level: 6
HP: 75 Skills: Appraisal, Good Luck (Minor)
“Yep, the
same as it was.”
I confirmed
my level while making my way towards the third floor.
Using my
pickaxe I swing at the huge tree.
Kii! Yelled
out the rabbit as it came out.
At the same
time, a Giant Lizard came out from behind.
93 – To the
fourth Layer
I head
towards the lizard and attack with my kitchen knife.
After a
little resistance, my hand flows through easily.
I remember
my previous mistake so I swing my pickaxe behind me.
The rabbit
turned into light and disappeared.
“Okay, I’m
alright. I’m definitely getting stronger.”
After that,
I continued along using the same pattern of hitting the tree and defeating what
came out.
“Yes! With
this I’ve now confirmed it.”
Now the
problem was the location of the stairs, but I had an idea.
If monsters
appear by breaking a tree then the stairs must be the same.
I destroyed
the largest tree on this floor, and as expected, the stairs appeared.
I took a
deep breath and continued down to the fourth floor.
94 –
Embarrassed
When I
looked back after coming out of the stairs, I saw a huge hole in the large tree.
“I see, so
the fourth layer is connected to the third with this tree.”
I was
nodding in a place where there was no one else except me.
I realized
I was nodding and became a little embarrassed.
When I
looked around, the scene was a lot different from the third floor.
The trees
were the same kind but were almost double the size.
I tried
hitting one with the pickaxe but only a dry sound and shock came back.
95 –
Pterosaurs
I looked
around and then noticed the huge shadow that was centering on me.
Frightened,
I look up.
There was a
huge bird.
“Is that a…
bird?”
Featherless
bodies covered in similar scales like the giant lizards.
It’s almost
like…
“Pteranodon…?
Pterosaurs*, right?”
Not
something I should saying right now.
I rushed
towards the stairs.
At least it
doesn’t spit fire like they tell in stories.
Seeing its
sharp beak, I wasn’t able to keep my calm.
96 – An
Insidious Pterosaur
I was able
to escape because I wasn’t too far from the stairs.
The
Pterosaur was stuck in the entrance hole in the tree.
“Hm? Are
you stuck?”
It’s
dangerous, so I throw some lizard tails that I got on the third layer.
Gah!
Yelling and screaming, the Pterosaur continued to struggle.
There was
no sign of it getting out.
“Hmm…”
Considering
the fact that the Pterosaur fit into a hole this small and the narrowness of
the corridors.
“Can you
go?”
I jumped
down the stairs even though I was nervous.
97 – Margin
I jumped
down and hit the head of the Pterosaur as it was.
A sound of
hitting metal sounded out.
“You can’t
be serious!”
The
Pterosaur was so tough, no matter how many times I hit it, it wouldn’t inflict
a single wound.
“Hmm… this
is troubling.”
Now I’m
glad the Pterosaur is stuck.
Because the
stairs were blocked, I couldn’t explore the fourth layer.
Until now,
I was looking somewhere else, but the Pterosaur had locked its eyes on me.
“Man…that’s
scary.”
98 – Acid
solution
My legs
start fluttering in front of an enemy that is way above me in strength.
If you
can’t move, force yourself to.
“Oh, by the
way, is it still there?”
I suddenly
remembered the drop item I got when I defeated centipede.
The
screaming Pterosaur, is always wide open.
It looks
easy enough to throw it in its mouth.
“Hmm, I
have no other way to use it, so why not.”
When I
searched the pouch there were two such lysate bottles available.
It also
contained three such acids.
“Hahaha, be
scared!”
99 – Small
Work
I can throw
as many as them as I want to but it won’t matter if its mouth is closed.
I make a
small cut on the lizard’s tail that I got in the third layer and store it
there.
Of course
during that time, Pterosaur looks down and tries to come here.
Is that
understood, I get a little worried.
I wrap the
meat in rabbit’s fur so the bottle in the tail does not spill out.
Holding it,
I approach the Pterosaur.
“He~y, its
food, make sure you eat it nicely.”
As sweat
covered my back, I threw the meat in the Pterosaur’s mouth.
100 – Whole
Drink
It’s nice
if it kicks in, but an unexpected thing happened.
Pterosaur
swallowed that meat hole.
“Eh?”
I was
biting, hoping that the bottle would break with an impact.
I’m a
little worried that something unexpected happened.
I was
sweating when I noticed it. And not only my hands but my legs were shaking as
well.
However,
such a thing is likely to end in melancholy.
The
Pterosaur begins to rampage more violently than before.
It went
well, and the bottle broke first.
When doing
so, the Pterosaur screamed the loudest.
It stopped
working.
Thanks for the chapter
