Let's Be An Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons With A Skill Board~ Chapter 4 Part1

Happy New Year Everyone!!. XD

I apologize for the delay from chapter 4.
I'm quite busy and not feeling well a few days before the new year.
I will try to catch up with the delay in translation.

I also have news for the translation of this novel.
As you know, this novel was originally translated by Shujinkou Translation. After we discussed, we finally decided to collaborate.
We will take turns acting as translators and editors of this novel.
Although most of it will be translated by me due to the uneven schedule between us.

That's all from me.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

It was a mistake to add three points to growth acceleration without thinking anything was a mistake.
After delighting that the Page Views has increased by three, Haruki calms down thinking.

Both skill points and Page Views are 3.
Is it a fate...... It is no way.

House centipedes were very good monsters.
But, I don't really know how much the effectiveness of growth acceleration.

I regret that I should at least have judged by experiencing growth acceleration 0, 1, and 2.
Or I should beat the monsters found in "Chikho".

The conditions to increase the points remain unknown.

After taking down about 100 house centipedes, I felt level up many times, therefore, I thought it would increase, but the points didn't rise in the end.

In other words, there are conditions other than level up.
Or it may not increase any more.

"I don't think it will not increase...... I wonder why is it not increase?"

I picked the magic tool up by chance, and distributed points to the skill.
There is no demerit in Haruki because it was only that.
It wasn't enough to get depressed because there are no merits.

"For now I'll explore the first floor and glance at the second floor today......"

I build today's subjugation schedule while preparing breakfast.

For living alone, it was essential to have cooking skill.
Naturally, Harumi was also good at cooking.

Although it was a men's dish with irregular material's cutting method, he could cook any average level dish.
Of course, if there were ingredients.

He made bread by using floor obtained from a nearby farmer, he also prepared chicken eggs received from the same neighbors - Kitorsan (by walking for 10 minutes).

Haruki hummed while making egg benedicts; roaming around the blog and preparing food at the same time has become his routine.

"Hump. Bacon-san is giving a beginner's short course today. I wish to speak with Bacon-san. There is no update from Masatsugu-san...... Is he in an expedition?"

Both Bacon and Masatsugu are fixed active rankers on Let's Be Ranking.

Their abilities are also substantial; both of them are sponsored by companies.

Masatsugu is categorized as a so-called cheater.
He is a member of a dungeon capture team, a fixed ranker, and has the second name as Hero.
He holds the deepest dive record of Tokyo's the most difficult dungeon - s.h.i.+njuku Station.

Bacon is a bored, popular ranker who like to give beginner's short course.
If anything he is enjoyment focused.
But, as expected he is still a ranker.

His second name is Muscle, Old-Man, and Nudist.
His official second name it the perverted one.

After registering the bookmark, he looked over the blog's new articles.
Meanwhile, Haruki's mouse stopped slightly on a specific blog.

There is a blog with the t.i.tle of "May Rain Today".
The administrator's name is s.h.i.+gure.
She is the only women ranker that is entering the top ten.

She is specialized on using katana and equipping light armor.
Her profile picture, with her tied-up long hair at her back and looking-far-away pose, is drawing attention.

As a dignified person, just standing makes her seem attractive.

She seems to have attended Iai-dojo since childhood, and never lost to anyone in a fight.
The second name attached because of her brilliant ability is Senki. A war princess twisted from a brilliant princess. (TL: Senki = War Princess)

In addition, some people call her as Big Sister or Miss.
She is very popular not only by men but also by women.

Haruki often overlaid himself on her appearance.
Rather than admiring her..., she is more like his target.

She is the figure of adventurer that he wants to be.
(The next is Bacon, but it is impossible for Haruki who has Air-like presence)

For the new article, this time I will write about his expedition.
The update will probably cease for a while. It's a shame.

"As expected, the main weapon should be a katana"

Actual funds on-hands was only 100,000 yen.
To buy an anti-monster katana, he would have to prepare at least 1 million yen.

Haruki couldn't handle such a large fee currently.

Haa, he let out a heavy sigh.
But today he patted his cheek and s.

I got a long-awaited dungeon here.
Besides, I got a mysterious magic tool.
I have no time to sigh!

After he finished eating egg benedicts and was.h.i.+ng the dishes, Haruki immediately wears his equipment and entered the dungeon.

I will get stronger, and gain my presence!

*********

In the first match of yesterday with house centipedes was more or less a close fight, but today I can remove them easily.

The crust couldn't be pierced in one strike at first, could be penetrated in almost one blow.
Because he could hear house centipedes' footsteps, he wouldn't suddenly get hit from behind.

On contrary, Haruki reached the point that could take house centipede by surprise.
Never comes to his mind that his presence became thinner although his level increased.

Everything always looks happy when viewed through the good side.

He defeated 100 centipedes after shutting himself a whole day in the dungeon.
Originally he planned to enter the second floor on that day, but to be sure he decided to devote for leveling.

The next day, Haruki was practiced by defeating 5 house centipedes after surprised by his body that better than before.

If house centipedes were the opponent, it wouldn't delay me anymore certainly.

It was good that the subjugation became easier, but Haruki felt guilty.
It seemed like bullying the weak.

Beating monsters were not evil.
However, it wasn't my hobby to one-side overwhelmed the opponent even though they were monsters.

"There is no problem with my strength, let's enter the second floor"

Harumi walked out looking for the stairs to the second floor.
After mapping for about an hour, Harumi arrived in a hall.

"Is it house centipede?"

A soundless voice leaked out of Haruki's mouth.

In the hall's center, several house centipedes were gathered.
If it was small, it would look like a lump of threads.
However, it looked like a very disgusting object if a group of 50 to 100 centimeters house centipedes was gathered.

People who disliked insects will surely faint after seeing it.
Haruki was frowning while looking at their figures.

"How to defeat them......"

It looked bizarre but it's not a big deal.
He was only thought regarding how to the monsters and not about adventure.

Harumi mapped everything on the first floor so far.
The remaining underground pa.s.sage was this way only.

Apparently, it was necessary to go through this hall in order to enter the second floor.

Were this treated as a boss room on the first floor?

I wonder how the boss of monsters without a killing power......is
Harumi pulled out his knife as he managed to recover his fragile mind.

I have experienced fighting one or two at the same time.
But this time there are 6 of them.

What should I do now?
As soon as I thought about it, the foundational strategy (basic) for one-to-many that appeared on the "Let's be" blog come to my mind.

The easiest way to annihilate a flock of monsters in a s.p.a.cious room is to throw something and lure them into the pa.s.sage.
In that situation, I can reduce the number of monsters attacked at once.

Haruki followed the basic by picking up a pebble from the ground.
He threw it with all his might to the crowd of house centipedes.

The pebble caved into the body of a house centipede.
The crackling sound of smashed crust can be heard.

At that moment
Five house centipedes started to move simultaneously.

As expected by Haruki...... no, beyond his expectations, 5 house centipedes was simultaneously rus.h.i.+ng to Haruki.

"OMG!"

It was unexpected.
......no, this a.s.sumption was Haruki's fault.

Besides unless it was narrow, it meaningless to lure monsters in the pa.s.sage.
In Haruki's location, there would be a light 5 meters walkway.
There is no meaning to lure it into such a place.

In addition, house centipede was a creature crawling on walls and ceilings.
The numbers of their simultaneous attackers were more than double compared to the ordinary monster.

All house centipedes were crawling to aim for Haruki not only on the ground but also on the walls and ceiling.

It is dangerous.
My armor is in danger if I keep it!

Panicky, Haruki stepped on the ground with full power to dodge.

"Donger?"

Because he was too fast, a strange voice leaked out of Haruki's mouth.
It was as fast as when discharging a reverse bungee.

He slowly decelerated by kicking the ground in a hurry.
When he turned his neck and looked backward, a separated big house centipede was heading to him.

"Is this because of level up?"

Compare to the last hunt yesterday, Haruki only gave a little effort.
About 50% of the power used to remove house centipedes certainly because he has leveled up.

Haruki, who didn't understand his situation, begins to experience his full power for the first time.
That was why he was surprised.

He has been able to get power so far......

"......can I?"

It is my first experience to fight with six monsters at the same time.
However, I feel like it doesn't late with my current ability.

Resolving himself, Harumi turned his body.
He held the knife forward and confirmed house centipedes' position.

His back trembled.
His heart rate rose.
Adrenaline made his body hot.

Now, it's time for adventure!
