Ch.172 Grotesque Dungeon

Whoosh.

"Kyu-!?"

The stone I threw hit a rabbit-like monster directly.

"...This rate of magic power recovery is comparable to what I'd get in the deepest parts of a normal dungeon..."

Ever since I saw it once, I've made it a habit to look away the moment it's thrown.

...I mean.

I glanced at the point of impact.

There were blood splatters and blood clots there.

"Yeah, it's gross...uee."

[So gruesome]

[Uee-]

[It's supposed to be automatically censored, but...]

[The mosaic effect makes it even more gruesome]

[Um, why do monsters become so gruesome...?]

[Now...]

[Please crystallize]

The next day, after moving into the new room.

This time, I'll pack everything up before moving, instead of leaving anything behind.

Then, after taking breaks, it felt like it was just before noon.

Up until then, there were only slimes, but I was happy when rabbit-type monsters started appearing.

...I was happy... if it weren't for the "splat" sound of flesh bursting and the "squish" of various things flying around when I threw a stone for the first time.

Yeah.

It was gruesome.

This is tough for modern people, isn't it?

[Haru-chan has been conspicuously quiet for a while now lol]

[Of course...]

[Even Haru-chan had no tolerance for gore]

[So Haru-chan is a modern person after all...]

[Looks like I won't be able to eat meat for a while]

[Me too]

"...Why do monsters seem like living creatures? Monsters are monsters, aren't they? It's precisely because it's a game-like place called a dungeon that you can challenge them so casually."

Since yesterday, I can't reuse the stones.

Therefore, slingshots also became a finite resource.

Well, if push comes to shove, I can always get as many stones as I want by hitting a wall with something hard, but still.

"But what's this all of a sudden? Are you kidding me? Are you making fun of me by suddenly changing the rules? Fine, I'll take on the fight, come out already!"

I pick the stones up one by one as I walk around.

This is when being short really shines.

"Dungeon-san is an idiot."

[lol]

[Haru-chan is really angry lol]

[Angry Haru-chan]

[Haru-chan's way of getting angry is cute]

[Too cute]

[Saying a line like "Dungeon is an idiot." while being angry]

[And what's more, the target of her anger is the dungeon]

[Haru-chan, you still speak quickly even when you're angry.]

[I see, if you make Haru-chan angry, she'll verbally abuse yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo]

[Uh oh]

[Haru-chan is much gentler than No Name-chan]

[If it's No Name-chan, you'll vanish without question]

[By the way, the "vanish" thing is actually becoming a real problem lol]

[Not the time to be laughing, but still lol]

[Um, I think it was around 1000 people last week who vanished?]

["A forced abduction by a dungeon!" That's big news, isn't it?]

[No Name-chan!]

【Important】

【Feed】

【Stroll】

【Leisure】

【Training】

【♥】

[lol]

[I don't really understand why, but they seem to be treated with care]

[Treated with care (like a pet)]

[No Name-chan's pet! I have an Ideaeaeaeaeaeaea]

[Uh oh]

[lol]

[That makes 1001 people...]

[You're being reckless...]

"...Phew"

I used up 3 stones in this room, but I got 20.

At least on the normal floors... or rather, the floor level doesn't change... I shouldn't have any trouble finding stones here.

"Just like in the previous fight against No Name-san, there are times when you can never have too many bullets, so I want to stock up on as many as possible, especially stones. i can get as many as you want."

[Certainly]

[She's been quiet since then, but you never know what No Name-chan might do.]

[If you're going to say that, then this situation itself is...]

[Haru-chan was so angry about her]

[Haru-chan gets angry at No Name-chan on a whim?]

【Different】

【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】 【Different】

[lol]

[Calm down, No Name-chan!]

[Haru isn't angry! She's not angry at No Name-chan!]

[I'm scared!]

[The terrifying thing about No Name-chan when she goes berserk is that you never know what she'll do.]

[Haru-chan, please cheer her up]

"...But, really."

Having finished exploring the room, I feel utterly dejected as always... and distance myself from the metallic smell and the reddish-black object that I absolutely avoid making eye contact with.

"No drops, no treasure chests... This means I can't get any weapons, armor, or even consumables."

I stepp out into the hallway and start walking slowly.

...The next room is pretty close.

"If you don't bring your own supplies like I did, you'll starve to death without even having water or food, let alone being attacked by monsters."

[Yeah]

[Certainly]

[Oh yeah, that's right]

[You can get water and food in dungeons that are supposedly safe for the human body, right?]

[Whether or not you find it physiologically acceptable is another matter, but those do drop]

[But what if we didn't even have that...?]

[That'd be bad]

[If you get lost, you're doomed, right?]

[Wristbands... I wonder if they'll be worn on both arms from then on?]

[Likely to happen]

[Well, there's the precedent of RuruLili...]

"If the difficulty level becomes that high, almost no one will bother exploring dungeons anymore. Seriously... Dungeon-san is so stupid."

[lol]

[So incredibly cute lol]

[Haru-chan is also great when she's angry...]
