Ch.85 "500 Floors RTA Stream : Shallow Floors" 4
I was sleepy, but no matter how long I held onto Ruru-san, I'm too heavy.
As I struggled to sit up, I began to feel awake.
"But I'm glad everything went according to plan today."
"Yes, there were no unexpected behaviors that were anticipated. Thanks to that, apart from one person suffering from minor injuries, we have been able to fully conserve our fighting power."
"Hee~."
Come to think of it, Kushima-san has a "Medical Team" sign on her arm.
It might unexpectedly come in handy.
[But isn't that boring? I want mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo]
[That's why I told you to stop]
[Like I said, don't make No Name-chan angry while it's producing the highly praised Haru-chan]
[Well, Haru-chan's performance will come in the second half.]
[That's right, the main character will arrive late]
[But when Haru-chan starts moving...]
[Yeah……]
[Being a bystander is interesting though...]
[We-well, it will happen eventually anyway...]
[Yeah, that's what will happen when Haru-chan wakes up...]
A head pops out from a slanted tent set up about halfway up the stairs.
"?"
It had been noisy just a few seconds ago, but now everyone was quiet.
Why?
[lol]
[Everyone turned around in an instant lol]
[I'm sure everyone wanted to get a glimpse of Haru-chan]
[Aside from the ladies who took turns watching from the back, the people who were on the trail and carrying luggage probably weren't watching Haru-chan up close.]
"...That's her...!"
"Look... She's so cute...!"
"What a beautiful blonde..."
"Ah, on top of her head is..."
"She really does look like a princess..."
"But the inside is"
"Ah……"
"Maybe even if we all do nothing..."
"No, that's a bit much."
"I don't know. She has a long-distance skill that would likely hit even if she was 100 meters away..."
"That's the real master ..."
[The attention is crazy]
[But it's Haru-chan, right?]
[It's Haru-chan after all.]
[It's Haru-chan]
[Everyone here is here for Haru-chan, so of course this would happen.]
"...Ugh... Even though they know it's Haru-chan they're looking at, they still can't help but be curious..."
"The only time people pay this much attention is at a live concert... after all..."
"Emi-san, please be careful not to do anything careless..."
[Ruru-chan is fidgeting]
[Huh? Something's wrong with the way Emi-chan is speaking now.]
[What does she mean by "careless"?]
If they won't stop me, that means it's okay for me to go out.
"Nn~."
I stand up and stretch.
It feels good to wake up.
"Hup."
The atmosphere inside the dungeon is really nice.
It's moist and feels like you're inside a cave.
"Ah..."
"Hau..."
"●REC"
【●REC●REC●REC●REC●REC●REC●REC●REC●REC●REC●REC】
[No Name-chan, calm down, ok?]
[Look, they're taking pictures from close range with a drone.]
[No Name-chan has already been completely tamed lol]
[But be careful, if you say something weird you'll never come back.]
[Why would you say that?!]
[Stop saying scary things]
[So cruel]
[lol]
"Phew."
Hmm, smells good.
When I traced the source of the smell, it seemed to be at the top of a wide staircase...huh?
"Pasta?"
"Yes, Haru-sama."
"Lili-san"
Lili-san was around the gas stove and pots, and also people from the same country as Lili-san.
"Dungeon diving meals are limited to ready-made meals or dried foods, so there is a lack of variety. That is why my country... excuse me, my father's company created a product that reacts to the magical power of the dungeon and made it possible to cook food."
"Hae~"
A delicious smell comes from the boiling pot.
...It certainly seems like I slept for hours.
"If you inquire, we will provide everything for free, because my people said that it will be good publicity! It is a tasting event!"
"Waa~"
[Lili-chan has a smug look on her face]
[Because she can brag about it to Haru-chan]
[Lili-chan's liking for Haru-chan is at MAX from the start]
[What about Ruru-chan?]
[Too far gone]
[What about No Name-chan?]
[No comment on that...]
[lol]
"We will be able to eat in about ten minutes."
"Is that okay?"
"Yes. Everyone will be eating in separate groups."
In the pot... is pasta.
Pasta.
...It reminds me of a certain urban legend, but I'm starting to think that it might be a little true.
"We need to eat our salads and other vegetables about now."
"Huh? If I'm not wrong, they're in my dirty-"
"The portion you have is somewhat more durable and lighter, so we will start with the portion we brought."
"Oh, I see."
[That's true. There's so much cooking going on in the dungeon.]
[That's not normal...]
[Too luxurious]
[Normally, overnight diving streams get the excitement going with topics like bento boxes and convenience store food.]
[I never thought I'd see it being cooked normally...]
[I mean, isn't it amazing that they managed to carry all this without using Haru-chan's dirty bag?]
[Lili-chan and people who look like SPs also have expensive storage bags]
[Really, Lili-chan, who are you?]
[Having endured No-Name-chan's bombing, I know that we must not delve into Lili-chan's true identity.]
[Ah, a survivor]
[I'm not dead, okay!? it's only a little... I get it, I get it! I'll keep quiet, so please don't do it again!]
[lol]
[Survivors don't speak]
[Ah... I guess he survived because he's the type who doesn't talk...]
◇◆◇
"...H-hey, Haru-chan..."
"So, what exactly have you been doing since earlier?"
[lol]
[Ruru-chan and Lili-chan are already scared]
[Haru-chan wakes up and starts doing something]
[She wasn't just walking around the dungeon like a little girl would]
[She came out of the tent and walked around, then walked towards the wall, and we all just watched with a smile...]
[Haru-chan is truly feared]
[Because it's Haru-chan...]
[The boss floor at the top of the stairs where you've already defeated the boss... Even though it won't pop up anymore, there are still a lot of people there...]
[All eyes are on Haru-chan]
[The place where they were chatting just a moment ago has now become silent]
[When Haru-chan came out, it got quiet, but when they got used to it and it got lively again, they got quiet again]
[lol]
[But it's Haru-chan, right?]
[That's right, it's Haru-chan after all.]
[There were people sitting down and letting their guard down, but then I saw someone standing up and get their gears ready upon seeing her lol]
[Admirable]
[Smart]
[Because it's Haru-chan...]
[Haru-chan is a young girl who makes everyone wary of her every move.]
[But it's Haru-chan, you know?]
[It's Haru-chan with No Name-chan!]
"……………………………………"
It's probably somewhere like this...and there it is.
Hmm, there are quite a few.
"So Haru-chan, what are you doing?"
"Oh, right."
"Haru-san, please place a little more importance on conversations with others..."
[The medical team pointed this out lol]
[Yeah, Haru-chan isn't very cooperative...]
[Completely going her own way]
[That's what's cute about her...]
The stairs are a safe zone.
So nothing grows there.
That's why I came up here on the upper floor.
"It's like that"
"Haru-chan?"
"Umm, you didn't say anything?"
"Yeah……"
[lol]
[Oh, I see. Haru-chan, you're the type who only has conversations in your head.]
[I understand]
[Was she the same as me?]
[Could it be that she's talking directly into their mind...?!]
[If she could do that, she wouldn't struggle, right?]
[If she use telepathy like that, Haru-chan's jumbled voices will continue to echo in your head.]
[What is this 24-hour ASMR?]
[Good……]
[I want]
[But my head is going to be a mess]
[Yeah... I guess it'll either be destroyed or become familiar...]
【Hope?】
[Stop]
[No Name-chan, this is a joke. Please don't take it seriously. If it were to happen, humanity would be wiped out.]
[lol]
[No good, I can't even joke around as long as No Name-chan is here]
Oh, I've been squatting quite a bit so my legs are a little tired.
So that's all I managed to pick... I was too immersed with it.
"I was picking mushrooms."
"Huh?"
"Mushrooms...?"
[lol]
[Mushroom]
[Haru-chan the Mushroom Picker]
[Why is she doing that now...?]
[I don't know]
[How could I possibly understand?]
[Once you understand, you'll graduate from being human]
[lol]
"Look, this."
I show them the mushrooms in my both hands.
"Haru, the plants in the dungeon are highly poisonous."
It's quite rare to see Emi-san step back in shock.
"No, there are several types that are fine. For example, this one that looks like a maitake mushroom. This is just a regular maitake mushroom."
"Wait, it looks a little scary..."
"It's a bit scary on its own, but if you grill, boil, or fry it, it tastes just like a normal maitake mushroom and is delicious, you know?"
"...Is it delicious?"
Oh, Ruru-san is taking one of the maitake mushroom lookalikes.
"Ruru, wait a moment. Haru's organs might be special."
"Ah..."
[lol]
[Emi Okaa-san takes the mushrooms away from innocent Ruru-chan]
[Mama...]
[Haru-chan is okay with that, but why is Ruru-chan hesitantly picking up a mushroom from the dungeon even though she's been told it's delicious? Lol]
[Well, it's Ruru-chan...]
[Yeah, that's the kind of girl Ruru-chan was before the Haru-chan shock...]
"You won't know until you try it."
"That's right, let's give it a try, Emi-chan."
"It would be terrible if you got food poisoning as a result of eating it."
"I'm fine, you know?"
"Haru-chan seems fine, though?"
"...Please keep in mind that Haru might be the only one who's okay."
"Muu, even though it's delicious."
"Even though it looks delicious..."
Emi-san is stubborn at times like this.
[She's sulking again lol]
[Ruru-chan is also very enthusiastic lol]
[Haru-chan is gradually becoming more human-like]
[There are ups and downs in emotions]
[Cute]
[She's a little girl]
[I see, kids put everything in their mouths...]
[Hey, isn't that bad for No Name-chan's education?]
[That's right, sorry]
[lol]
[Oh, Haru-chan's putting the mushrooms in her bag.]
[Is she planning to eat it later?]
[Ehh...]
[Haru-chan thinks it's a treat...]
[Uh, yeah, she's admirable considering there are a lot of kids who don't like mushrooms...]
[Is it admirable for a young girl to pick and eat mushrooms randomly?]
[If anything, it's dangerous]
[lol]
