Ch.112 The Final Battle Between Underground and Sky Part 1

Clack clack.

Tap tap.

There were 3 sets of footsteps from the 4 of us: Ruru-san, Emi-san, Lili-san and me.

"... H-hey, are we there yet...?"

"Not yet."

"... We've been walking down for quite a while though..."

"We are not there yet."

[Isn't this too long??]

[Um, it's been about 5 minutes since they've been walking down the stairs...]

[What is this...?]

[Wouldn't it normally take at most 2 minutes to go down the stairs...?]

"That is just how deep this place is... in other words, a vast space. That's the 500th floor, Haru-sama."

"Seems like it."

The sound of everyone's footsteps echoes.

Of course a stone-built room would echoes like this.

[And our Haru-chan]

[Falling off in the first minute, and now being carried safely]

[Princess carry!]

[So cute]

[She said she didn't want to be hugged or carried on someone's back, so there's nothing they can do about it.]

[Has Haru-chan entered the "terrible twos" phase?]

[Ruru-chan is dejected after being rejected]

[Emi-chan is conflicted, wanting to hold her but unable to]

[Lili-chan looks happy to have been chosen because she has the highest level of strength]

[In terms of level and physical ability it's Lili-chan > Emi-chan >>> Ruru-chan >>>>>>>>>> Haru-chan]

[Haru-chan is being carried like a princess after all]

[Do the princess carry more often please]

[Always carry her please]

[Cuddling livestream... how innovative...]

"Haru-sama...um, do you not mind me doing this...?"

"Huh? It's nothing special, you know?"

After I said it, I realized I was a guy.

So that's why Lili-san asked me.

But...

I feel bad about hugging a girl from the front and burying my face in her breasts, and I feel bad about being held from behind and having her breasts touch my back, but on the other hand, being carried on her back is also... kind of unpleasant.

So it's a process of elimination.

Right now I just have a physical handicap.

If I think about it like that, there's nothing to be embarrassed for.

"Ah, but it's past halfway, I think."

"Halfway in 5 minutes..."

"I wonder how high it is..."

[I can definitely tell it's gonna be a big room]

[Rather than a room, it's more like an open space]

[Haru-chan didn't even try the trap explosion fall trick because of this height.]

[Even Haru-chan was taken aback, so you can see how bad it is.]

[Yeah... Haru-chan does something a little strange like making sure to take the lead with concealment up until the 400th floor, be able to one-shot with a preemptive headshot, and destroyed 8 floors worth of traps like a domino, for her to be on guard and proceed carefully... isn't this dangerous?]

[I see, that's bad]

[So easy to understand lol]

[Haru-chan herself has become a barometer of danger lol]

……Hmm.

"...Haru-sama?"

"Oh, just hold me like that."

I take out my homemade gun from my dirty bag.

Rather than a gun, it's more like a rocket launcher, the one I used to save Ruru-san.

"...Are you going to use that? The one from that time, right?"

"Yes. There are a lot of monsters around, so I thought I'd start shooting as soon as we reach the bottom to whittle down their numbers."

The monsters are no longer at a level that can be defeated with a single bullet.

Even with a bow, I have to attack 2 or 3 times with 3 or 4 arrows each time to defeat it.

So it seems like it'll be tough if I don't at least defeat the small fry around the boss monster.

"...It is strange. Haru-sama is light on her own, but the moment she is putting her hand inside her bag, she becomes heavy."

"It's good that it's ignoring the weight of the insides."

[That dirty bags was really a big hit!]

[Obviously]

[Isn't its value estimated to be several hundred billion yen?]

[This stream revealed that the capacity is enough to store water and supplies to last dozens of people for a month.]

[The price of the dirty bag has skyrocketed since its quality was revealed in this stream]

[But it's still dirty...]

[But it's dirty...]

[Why didn't you wash it, Haru-chan...?]

[L-look, Haru-chan must've found it troublesome...]

[Haru-chan doesn't even care about her appearance...]

Clack clack.

The sound of 3 people's footsteps are being absorbed below.

◇◆◇

"Then, please cover your ears."

[Kaay]

[Kaay]

[You guys...]

[As soon as they reach the exit, Haru-chan is put down from the princess carry and naturally assumes a position to fire the rocket launcher]

[Ah! This is a pose I've seen in movies!]

[That's a little extreme]

[She's an extreme little girl]

[So this is headshot loli...]

[A loli who fires rocket launchers...]

[Haru-chan's nickname]

[Is that even a nickname...?]

[lol]

Staircase exit.

It's a safety zone where we won't be detected if we don't step on the floor, and monsters' attacks will stop if we run back here.

For a long-range job like me, this is a surefire spot for a preemptive attack.

After all, I have to make use of the reach of projectiles.

"……………………………………"

There are about 3 places where they gather.

To one of them....poshuu.

[Deafening sound]

[But after this]

...Shugoooo.

It flew out of the tube, fell a little, and ignited about two meters in front of it.

It flies to the targeted location.

[I've never seen a weapon like this before.]

[It seems like everything is handmade by Haru-chan]

[I want to be defeated by Haru-chan's homemade rocket]

[Calm down, that's a little dangerous.]

[Just a little?]

[lol]

As expected, I can also see the bullet's perspective even with this weapon.

The 500th floor is so vast that I can't see the ceiling or walls.

...Isn't this bigger than a stadium?

There are also monsters... Let's just say there are about 150 of them for now, so it seems they called us out for a reason.

The bullets pass right over monsters of different colors and ones I've never seen before.

...Even though there is a big noise, the monsters are still sleeping because we're still inside the safety zone.

And then... BOOM.

"...Hyaaaaahhh!?"

"More than I thought...!"

"Haru-sama...!"

An ear-ripping sound echoes.

...High power is always better, but...maybe I used a bit too much gunpowder?

I didn't think there would be this many, and it turned out well, but... if I used it on a normal floor, the entire floor would probably collapse...

[My ears! My ears!!]

[The sound is really distorted]

[Just how powerful is that?]

[Haru-chan blurted it out with a cool face]

[Haru-chan loads the next bullet without a care in the world]

[Huh? is she gonna keep shooting?]

[Well, it's common sense to whittle them down before a battle.]

[Common sense (even if it made that much noise, it was fired from a distance where no blast or shrapnel would fly)]

[Because it's Haru-chan...]

[Power that seems more dangerous than inferior weapons]

Poshuun.

Shugoooo.

BOOM.

"Approximately 50 of them blown away each bullet."

"...Can you see it, Haru-chan?"

"Yes. Actually, I can see from the bullet's point of view."

"Huh――……"

"I'm not surprised anymore... Even on a normal boss floor, there are only around 10 mobs at most."

"As expected from the 500th floor."

"Roughly 100 mobs in 2 shots... As expected of Haru-sama."

[As expected of Haru-chan]

[This time I have no choice but to praise you]

[Even though they're nuisance monsters on the boss floor, they're all at mid-boss level, right?]

[Even though it's a mid-boss, it's based on the 500th floor]

[In other words?]

[It's on the same level as a boss monster that you rarely see even in a normal dungeon]

[Even Haru-chan needed several shots to reach the 400th floor.]

[When she's using a bow, she needed more than 10 arrows]

[Two shots and 100 of them... Amashing...]

[Oh, it looks like she wants to shoot again]

[Haru-chan is so greedy]

[For there to be 150 annoying monsters]

[Normally, there would be at most a few...]

[It's a dungeon tailored to Haru-chan's abilities]

One more blast and the sweep is mostly complete.

As expected, the monsters have woken up and are in battle mode.

"... Is it done yet...?"

"It's done."

"How much have you managed to sweep, Haru-san?"

"Almost everything."

"Huh?"

[lol]

[Emi-chan is surprised]

[Of course she would]

"As expected of Haru-sama!!"

"Lily-san, you're too noisy."

[And the reliable Lili-chan]

[As expected of a girl who travels the entire journey]

Now to check the enemy's movements.

I put the tube back into my dirty bag and takes out a gun.

"--Well, it's about time."

"Yes!"

"It's going according to plan."

"Yes. So I'll ask for your help again."

Everyone's standing up... and then I was picked up from behind.

…… Muu.

This is Ruru-san because I can't feel the brea-

"Haru-chan"

"It's not too tight so I'm fine."

"……………………………………"

That's dangerous, I thought about it for the first time in a while.

[Haru-chan ends up being hugged]

[This time, she's being held facing backwards]

[Is she a puppy or cat that you can pick up?]

[Everyone takes turns carrying Haru-chan, who has limited mobility]

[What a wonderful plan...]

[The monsters' level are so that it takes everyone except Haru-chan several minutes to finally defeat one]

[But the boss floor is full of bosses like a monster house in a large room, so no matter how you look at it, it's a setting full of murderous intent that's impossible to clear except for Haru-chan.]

[So the strategy is for everyone to take turns carrying Haru-chan, the main attacker, to supplement her mobility.]

[The person in charge of carrying her runs as fast as they can, while the other two keep the opponents away from Haru-chan - a perfect strategy!]

[This is an incredibly innovative battle that can only be seen on this stream!]

[Normal long-range jobs don't have this much firepower...]

[The battle that only a slightly strange Haru-chan can do begins now]
