I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~

Chapter 33

Chapter 33. The 5th Day Of Dungeon Exploration

I worked hard at my part-time job for five days.

My consecutive working days were 15, 16, 17, 18──19.

If I include the dungeon exploration I promised to Kodachi-san and Yuzuki for the next two days, it’s practically a 21st shift.

However, if I work part-time for 20 years, it will be groggy, but if you have dungeon exploration in between. It’s not that bad.

I remember reading in an article on the Internet that [three R’s] are necessary for rest.

I remember reading in some online article that rest requires [three R’s]: rest (physical rest), relaxation (mental rest), and recreation (entertainment).

That article said that “all” of the “three R’s” can be fulfilled by doing proper rest.

In my current case, I’m satisfied with only recreation (entertainment), so maybe it’s not that hard.

Anyway, after five days at my part-time job, I arrived on the day of my appointment with Kodachi-san.

As I pedaled my bicycle to the front of the dungeon as usual, Kodachi-san waved at me happily, just as she had done last week.

Just seeing this Kodachi-san’s smile is enough to make my tiredness disappear.

“It’s been a while, Kodachi-san.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Musou-san. I’ve been waiting for this day with all my heart.”

z”Ahaha, you’re overreacting again.”

“I’m not overreacting! I’m lonely exploring the dungeon all by myself!”

Kodachi-san puffed up her cheeks.

Very cute.

We prepare as usual and head for the dungeon.

The 4th layer is still too tough, so it’s the 3rd floor again today.

While walking through the third layer of the dungeon, I asked Kodachi-san.

“Today, the 3rd floor is fine, but what about tomorrow? Can we make it to the 4th floor if Yuzuki joins us,?”

“Hmm, I don’t know. In the worst case, in addition to the goblin shaman, there could be two goblin archers. If there are three ranged attacking monsters, Hotaru-chan may get beaten?”

“But if we’re that concerned about it, there’s also no chance we’ll get beaten.”

“That’s right. Even if it’s possible to be dropped, our HP will only drop to 0, and the death line is far away. If we don’t even get wiped out, there’s no danger to our life──”

“Can I go to the 4th floor just to try it out?”

“I think so. If it looks dangerous after we try it, we can think about it again.”

Kodachi-san doesn’t mind talking about “Death Line”, so when we become seekers, our sense of life and death must be slightly off.

I don’t think this is the conversation of ordinary people living in the modern world.

When we were exploring the 3rd floor, we eventually encountered our first monster.

The monster composition was 1 goblin, 1 hobgoblin, and 1 goblin archer.

The goblin and hobgoblin stood in the enemy vanguard, and the goblin archer made a shooting attack from the rear guard, one of the standard monster compositions in the third layer.

Kodachi-san, who saw this, quickly and fearlessly lifted her mouth, while green shine clung to his body.

“Musou-san──I got a little stronger with yesterday’s level-up.”

“A little stronger?”

“Yes, a little stronger. [Wind Slash!]

Kodachi-san activated his usual wind attribute magic.

The wind blade hit not the hobgoblin, but the goblin archer in the enemy rear guard.

The goblin archer was killed and turned into a magic stone with a single blow.

Oh, wow.

According to the information I confirmed on the Internet, the goblin archer’s durability is no different from that of ordinary goblins.

But Kodachi-san, until last week, she had said that [Wind Slash] could not even take down a goblin with a single blow.

Clear progress.

And that was not all.

“───Haaaaaaaaaah!”

Kodachi-san ran out immediately after shooting the magic and launched her usual series of attacks with two daggers against the hobgoblin.

The hobgoblin got hit with a series of wind blows and also disappeared in a flash.

Oooh, this is also amazing.

Until last week, Kodachi-san had defeated the hobgoblins with a series of physical attacks on top of [Wind Slash].

All that remained was for me to finish the goblin with a single blow.

It was a quick and complete victory.

After the battle, I high-fived Kodachi-san, who had a big smile.

“Yay!, how do you like it, Musou-san? I’m getting a little stronger, aren’t I?”

“A little, or maybe a lot. No, it’s amazing that you killed both of them in the blink of an eye.”

“Right? You can praise me more, can’t you?

“Yes, Kodachi-san is so cool! I’m in love with you!”

“Ehehe~. But It’s not a surefire kill yet. I made a big show of it, so I hope I did it right…”

As I said that, Kodachi-san slowly opened her eyes, put her hand over her mouth, and turned away.

Her cheeks seem to have turned red, somehow.

“Hey, is something wrong, Kodachi-san?”

“No, no, stop! Wait a minute, Musousan. I’ll sort out the information.”

Kodachi-san put her hand on her chest, mumbled something, and then took a deep breath.

“Oh, thank you for waiting. It’s all good now.”

“…….”

Despite all this and more, the day’s dungeon exploration ended without a hitch.

I leveled up with the experience I gained, going from level 7 to 8.

I acquired the skill [Spear Attack Power Up (+8)].

I did not find [Spear Attack Power Up (+10)] in the skill list I can acquire.

I guessed from the information on the Internet that +10 and above would be released when I reached level 11.

Kodachi-san did not increase her level.

She just reached level 12 yesterday, and it seems she is far away from the next level.

The income from the exchange of magic stones was about the same amount as before.

What was noteworthy about this day’s search was that one useful weapon turned up among the treasure chests that dropped.

It was a Short Bow dropped from a goblin archer’s treasure chest.

It was a Short Bow and arrow and came in a set that included not only the bow but also a quiver and a bundle of arrows.

If you buy it at an armor store, it will cost 16,000 yen for a set.

Thinking this might be used by Yuzuki, I stored it in Kodachi’s [Item Box].

And so the day’s dive ended, and the clock moved on to the next morning.
