I stepped out on the 15th floor wondering what kind of monster would greet us here.
“Shall we go?” I said and bravely stepped off the stairs into the stone passageway.
After walking through the eerily silent passage for a while, Fer’s voice suddenly rose, “Stop. Enemy incoming.”
[8] We all squinted down the passageway and… something brown and leggy came hopping in....
2021-06-29 13:16:55 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Elland-san and I finished collected the Dropped items, members of the [Ark] were still stuck in place. [6] To be fair, the collection of Drops went pretty quickly with Sui and Dora-chan helping us, but still…
[8] Anyway, after all the Drops were collected, Elland-san and I called their names and waved our hands before their faces. Finally, they started to respond.
“Wha- wh...
2021-06-22 13:33:47 +0000 UTC View PostAfter our short break, we left the safe area.
Before we set out to face the monsters, I took out the Mithril Spear from my [Item Box]. Gideon-san, the Spearman, could not help but stared.
“Woah, a fully Mithril spear…” [5]
“Yes? Isn’t Gideon-san’s spear made of Mithril as well?”
“Yeah, but only the blade. I’m totally going to get myself a full Mithril s...
2021-06-22 13:32:23 +0000 UTC View Post[6] We decided to take a break and sleep in the safe room before continuing our journey the next day.
[8] The next morning, I treated the people from the [Ark] to breakfast.
It was kind of hard not to since they were all looking at me expectantly, especially Feodora-san. [8] Have you ever been stared at expectantly by a beautiful woman before? It’s rather difficult to deny a woman...
2021-06-15 13:19:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe main dishes for tonight’s dinner was fried food. [1] Fried Vermillion Shrimp, Mackerel, Big Hard Clams Clams, Scallops and Aspidochelone were piled on wooden plates for Fer, Dora-chan and Sui topped with lots of Tartar Sauce.
I also gave them a bowl of Clam Chowder each. None of my familiars really liked Clam Chowder, [6] but I must get some vegetables into them no matter what!

According to them, they had stuck around Doran for a long time specifically to challenge the dungeon. It seems they left Doran about half a year ago to try their luck with Avering’s dungeon.

2021-06-08 16:33:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhen we stepped onto the 14th floor, we were greeted by Venom Tarantula and Poison Spiders. [6] Have I mentioned I hate bugs? Not only were we greeted by a huge number of giant bugs here but they were also creeping up the walls and ceilings as well.
Wonderful.
This was bad enough by any estimate, but…
“I think I’ve mentioned this before, but there a lot of special specim...
2021-06-08 16:28:18 +0000 UTC View Post“Looks like our timing is bad again,” said Elland-san as he studied the situation inside the Boss Room.
I peeked in too and saw that it was filled with Killer Hornets. The buzzing from their wings was like the constant drumming of construction equipment.
“When I last came here, there were less than half of them. I remember we encountered a nest back then too, but fr...
2021-06-08 16:26:59 +0000 UTC View PostAt the 12th floor, a Giant Killer Mantis, as well as some smaller Killer Mantis, blocked our way into the main passage. [1] The Killer Mantises raised their sickle-like arms threateningly at us. Their arms looked razor-sharp and sturdy enough to lop off the top of a man’s head…
Unfortunately for them, Dora-chan and Sui were still hyped up on battle adrenaline and these giant, scary in...
2021-06-01 15:42:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe first monster we encountered on the 11th floor was an ant.
The ant was completely black and very big. It was nearly 1 meter in length.
“That’s a Killer Ant. This floor has both standard and special varieties.
The giant black ant was making clicking noises with its mouth, it was rather unnerving. From the look of its jaws, it could probably take off my arm with a single...
2021-06-01 15:04:38 +0000 UTC View PostAs we travelled down the passageway, three White Caterpillars suddenly appeared and undulated unnervingly in front of us.
Ugh.
“”They’re mine!“”
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Icicles formed and skewered the White Caterpillars.
“Migyuuuuu…”
“Bigiiiiii…”
“Gyuuu…”
The Caterpillars all sort of… shook and bo...

“”Umu, me too,“”
“”Me three! Foood!!“”
The moment we stepped onto the 10th floor, everyone started clamouring for food.
Well, we did just conquered a major obstacle, the 9th Undead Monster Floor, so it should be alright to take a break for a bit. [5]
“Elland-san, is there a place for us to rest here?” [5...
2021-05-25 14:16:46 +0000 UTC View PostNote: Gumihou Note 5 it so hard that it fell below 1000 words…
Hence why we have 3 chapters this week.
Enjoy ~
We’re right outside the 9th floor’s Boss Room now.
I took a peek, “It’s crawling with Zombies and Skeletons and, is that a Skeleton Warrior? The one with a sword…” [5]
“Hmm, looks like there’s quite a lot of them, bu...
2021-05-25 14:13:24 +0000 UTC View PostOur first Undead encounter on the 9th floor were three Zombies.
“Graaahhh…”
“Guwaaaa…”
“Grah, grah…”
The dead-eyed Zombies shuffled towards us from the dim depths of the darkened corridor. Their rotting bodies and tattered clothing looked exactly like the Zombies from the movies.
“Ugh, this is gross!”
[6] They looked horrible, as expecte...
2021-05-18 14:17:51 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, we’re now on the 9th Floor.
This would be my first encounter with the Undead.
“Alright people, getting through the Undead Floor is all about speed and efficiency. Try not to get attacked, dodge as much as you can and head straight for the boss' room,” said Elland-san seriously.
“Excuse me,” I said, “I plan to take down the Undead.”
[6] “What?!”...

“”Tch! I don’t want to deal with things like Goblins and Kobolds. Sui! You take them on,“” Dora-chan sniffed.
“”Really? Sui could pew pew them all?“” Sui bounced side to side happily. [5]
“”Wait, Sui! You need to leave some for me to ...
2021-05-11 14:49:08 +0000 UTC View PostI showed my guild card to the soldier guarding the dungeon entrance and was immediately waved in.
Elland-san waved a dungeon card he had gotten from Nadia-san. Since he was no longer an official Adventurer, he could register with the guild for a special dungeon card made available to Knight, mercenaries and other non-Adventurers to participate in a dungeon challenge.
As advertised, ...
2021-05-11 14:39:07 +0000 UTC View PostWe had to line up for the dungeon.
[6] I don’t mind lining up for things. In fact, I believe that the ability to line up quietly and waiting for your turn is a mark of a civilized society.
However, it gets annoying when people in the line with nothing better to do began to gossip.
[6] Loudly.
“Hey, isn’t that Elland? The Guild Master of Doran?”
“OMG! It...
2021-05-04 13:45:11 +0000 UTC View Post“Well then, shall we go?”
“Umu,”
“Yeah! Dungeon time!”
“Dungeon~”
After breakfast, we left the inn.
“Ah, I need to speak with the Guild Master first.”
[6] There were some grumblings, but, the Guild was right next door so I pretend not to hear them and made a beeline for the reception. At the counter, I showed my guild card and the...
2021-05-04 13:43:10 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a bath with Dora-chan and Sui, I settled down in a corner of the room to conduct the weekly business. [1] Meanwhile, everyone else had gone to sleep, since tomorrow’s the big dungeon challenge day.
“Hello? Is everyone there?” I whispered.
A chorus of, “I’ve been waiting!” answered me. Interspersed with, “…cake and ice-cream…” as well as the fake indifferenc...
2021-04-27 19:16:39 +0000 UTC View PostAfter this morning’s breakfast, I left the house by myself and set out for the shopping district to buy groceries. It was not far from the inn, so I felt quite safe on my own. I didn’t even bring Sui with me.
I stopped at several different bakeries, buying up most of the local black bread. [1] I still have some black bread I bought from Doran, but, considering my familiar’s appetite...
2021-04-27 19:15:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I was escorted to the Guild run inn, I saw the receptionist’s eyes widened at the sight of Nadia-san. I guess it’s rare for the Guild Master to personally escort people here?
“Yo, I brought you the greatly anticipated S Ranker,”
“Ahaha,” Nadia-san, please introduce in a more proper way…
Nevertheless, the receptionist still greeted me politely enough and I in...
2021-04-20 14:27:12 +0000 UTC View PostI was practically stuffed into a chair by Nadia-san who, thankfully, sat down across from me. There was also a table between us, thank goodness!
“So, you really do have a Fenrir as your familiar. I’d heard about that, but I must admit I’d been rather sceptical about that rumour until I’ve actually seen him with my own eyes.”
Maa, it’s perfectly natural to be sce...

2021-04-13 15:20:44 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a late breakfast, I relaxed with a little drink.
[6] We will have to travel non-stop in a bit, so it’s good to have a little last-minute relaxation before setting out.
Everyone had sparkling cider while I had a can of cold café au lait.

“Phew, that was a good bath,”
“Baths are awesome ~”
“Baths feel really good right?”
I went to enjoy the baths with Dora-chan and Sui since this is the last night we could do so in this house. As expected of a house that used to belong to an aristocrat. The baths here are amazing, magnificently spacious...

Speaking of which, Fer and the rest have fallen asleep after a breakfast of Bolognese Dogs. [2] It is basically hotdog buns stuffed with meaty Bolognese sauce. The thick meaty tomato sauce had soaked into the buns and was just too delicious.
However, the best thing about Bolognese Dogs was that it’s really easy to put ...
2021-03-30 08:57:31 +0000 UTC View PostToday, I’ll be stocking up on more seafood.
[6] This time, I have a system. That's right, instead of just blindly going to the morning market and buying up whatever caught my eye, I have a list.
I plan to buy more of the standard favourites, of course. Such as the Vermilion Shrimps, Bronze King Crabs, Saban Fish, Big Hard Clams, Small Hard Clams and Yellow Scallops. We all like th...

I, too, was hungry and tired. So dinner was the Breaded Fried Food Medley I had made that afternoon. Naturally, it was served with plenty of Homemade Tartar Sauce. [5]
