Ch.90 "500 Floors RTA Stream: Middle Floor" 2

As I was enjoying the crackling sound, smell, and light of the bonfire, I heard everyone's serious voices.

"...There are still 300 floors to go. And there's only 7 days left."

"By simple calculation, that'd be 50 floors each. That's... the speed we were able to clear the first 3 days."

"That's right, we only made it to a few floors today..."

"The deeper we go, the stronger the monsters become... and the floors are becoming larger too..."

“This is harder than we predicted... Yes, even in my country, it is rare to find something like this...”

By the way, Lili-san's country is apparently a hot spot for abnormally high level dungeons appearance.

That's why Lili-san said that if she was 25 or so, she wouldn't have any problems living in Japan.

The world is so big.

Japan isn't a hotspot, so the level of the dungeons...the quality is apparently just average, and I'd like to try visiting places like that overseas once I get stronger.

But going abroad is troublesome, so I guess I'll pass.

"Yes... 200 floors out of 500 floors seems shallow, but the previous one Haru had been conquering was between 250 and 200 floors, and even in the high level dungeon, it's rare to exceed 200 floors. ... I thought I understood, but I guess I didn't understand it intuitively."

Emi-san is always earnest.

Except when she goes to sleep in her tent, the cameras that everyone is wearing are basically always on, so for the past week Emi-san has been living a life of abstinence, or rather, hiding her perverted side.

...I know it may seem like I'm forcing myself, but please forgive me for not being able to help you.

I know that feeling all too well.

I'm a man, afterall.

Originally, that is.

Well, I've been acting like a little girl lately and have forgotten about those things, but I'll probably understand them again soon.

[Emi-oneechan's introspection is sharp]

[She's so earnest]

[She's the actual leader, afterall]

[Haru-chan is... Not the leader, i guess]

[Yes, it's Emi-chan.]

[Haru-chan is the mascot for the dungeon dive.]

[Mascot (Explosion Angel)]

[Don't remind me... I want to forget...]

[I understand]

[You can't move Haru-chan without permission...]

[Haru-chan, just keep quiet and continue munching... please...]

I'm thinking while enjoying the texture of the mushrooms.

I don't really understand, but this dungeon is apparently a "low difficulty dungeon" according to general Japanese standards.

At least, in the shallow levels.

So I thought things would be okay for the top ranker people in the country, but it seems that things suddenly got difficult from the third day onwards, once they passed the 100th floor.

Apparently, the shallow floors are low difficulty, the first few dozen floors after that are medium difficulty... and from there it's high difficulty.

Why am I saying "apparently"?

Because I was sleeping most of the time.

I don't really know why, but I'm just so sleepy...I've been sleeping 15 to 18 hours a day for the past week.

With this body, I'm a little girl, so I can sleep whenever I want, but...I still feel like there's something a little strange about it.

I haven't said much about the discomfort yet, but if it gets worse I'll talk to Kushima-san about it.

[It's just super difficult, at this point]

[In the first place, they haven't even reached the halfway point on the 200th floor.]

[The basic premise is that domestic dungeons have a limit of 250 floors...]

[After doing some research, I found that there aren't even 100 dungeons in the entire world with over 300 floors.]

[Even if you say that overseas locations are simply larger and therefore of a higher level, 250 floors deep is still hard.]

[Apparently, the only ones in the country that have soawned recently are this newly opened place and the one that Haru-chan once dived into... the onle ones recently to surpass the 300th floor threshold.]

[Ah, that dungeon. The association went to investigate, but it seems they only made it to the 100th floor because the dungeon finished changing.]

[Ehh...]

[Well, it seems that Haru-chan's diving itself is genuine from the archives...]

"Kepu"

Muu.

It seems my stomach is already full.

When it gets stuck like this, I can't eat it anymore.

I feel a strong sense of physical limitations.

[Cute]

[Come to think of it, you were eating the whole time everyone was talking, Haru-chan]

[I love how you eat a lot]

[Eat more...]

[Please eat... No, seriously]

[Haru-chan, it looks like you'll get blown away if a strong wind blows...]

[When she saved Ruru-chan, she was actually blown up to a higher floor.]

[Now you made me remember lol]

[It's not funny]

[Well, she's fine like this...]

"Fuu."

I think I ate a little too much.

[She's rubbing her stomach, but she didn't eat much...]

[She spent twice as much time as everyone else and only eaten half as much as everyone else...]

[Yes... Ruru-chan, who served the same amount as her, has already finished eating, on the other hand, I can't even see the bottom of Haru-chan's bowl yet...]

[She's really a little girl]

[Maybe: Haru-chan was poor, so she lived in the dungeon and filled her stomach]

[She was satisfied with that because she has a small stomach]

[Oof]

[What is that? That's so sad]

[Okay, I'll give a donation that Haru-chan won't give back.]

[This is a donation for a delicious meal for Haru-chan and her father...]

[Be careful, if you throw money at someone recklessly, No Name-chan will throw it back at you]

[No Name-chan faithfully follows Haru-chan's advice to "please refund them"]

[Cute]

[Loyal dog]

【Dog?】

[Uhuh]

[lol]

[No Name-chan has a dog personality...?]

[No, that jealousy is like a cat's]

[The cat is Haru-chan, you know?]

[Oh, right]

[Well, it's fine, whether it's a cat and a dog or both cats]

[That's fine...]

The soup still has mushrooms floating in the bowl.

…… Too good to waste.

But right now my stomach is full.

"...Haru-sama, are you full yet?"

"Sorry, I can't eat much."

"Not at all! I would be honored if you could savour them and become part of your flesh and blood!"

[lol]

[Lili-chan's enthusiasm is amazing]

[She's been bee-lining towards Haru-chan, ever since they entered the dungeon]

[Lili-chan's expression is a little scary... Wait wait, I'm just stating the fafafafafafafafafafafafafafafafafafa]

[Oh no]

[Another precious life has been lost to No Name-chan...]

"……………………………………"

[And Ruru-chan watches the exchange in silence]

[Ruru-chan is scary!]

[But it's not as scary as it was at first.]

[Yeah... She's just watching now...]

Yeah.

Although not as much as before, Ruru-san still gives me looks that say, "You've taken away my little sister-like figure!"

Considering my real age and gender, I should be more like an older brother to her though.

Lili-san says, "If you're going to leave any, I will finish it for you," so I hand her the bowl.

Come to think of it, I always throw them away, which is a shame, but as they say, we shouldn't waste food, so I guess I'll just give up.

That's not important, but this slowdown in pace is still not good.

Hmmm... My MP is still around 10.

Out of 1000.

Well, it's just a feeling... you see, machines that display HP and MP are hard to find.

"...Haru-san..."

"You want me to join starting tomorrow, Emi-san?"

Emi-san seems timid.

This girl would be just as serious as Kushima-san if it weren't for the way she treats little girls.

[Eh?]

[Ah……]

[Bad news: Our peace is over]

[You knew it already... Just give up]

[That's right... at this point, Haru-chan has no choice but to take action...]

Watching the campers.

Unlike at first, everyone was either looking down or lying down.

Maybe we're no longer a rare sight, or maybe the ruggedness of the dungeon has worn them down... Maybe it's both, but their morale has plummeted.

[But really, what is this dungeon?]

[I had a vague feeling from the beginning but, wasn't this too difficult?]

[First of all, each floor is ridiculously large, there are lots of traps, and there are much more monsters.]

[Plus, the monsters here have different colors and behavior patterns, so past experiences is unreliable.]

[And then, there's a time limit, so everyone's feeling anxious]

[And the number of people clearing the dungeon is far too small compared to its size and difficulty]

[Hello, No Name-chan?]

【Not possible】

[Tch]

[lol]
