Chapter 17 – Flasher

We arrived at the 2nd basement level, I think it took us about 3 hours to make it here. The only battle we fought was the bat but everyone is still tense and we’re progressing slowly. The map is showing every enemy but not those in traps.

Because we’re on a low floor the traps are super obvious, like a different floor or wall colour. I really hope that people don’t trigger it. We prudently advanced and found an open room, inside of the room we took a rest and Lelena gave me a lecture on recovery magic.

“It seems simple, but in reality there are several types of recovery magic”

To review, first you must directly touch the patient and apparently it magic is faster when there isn’t an emergency.

It is possible to heal a person over a distance but it takes longer than directly contacting them and the wound would gradually heal.

Lastly, it has an AoE type. This is where anyone in the range of the magic will be healed but it takes lots of magic power and does not tell the difference between ally and enemy.

– I used Amyl as a guinea pig. He made a big deal of me cutting his finger a bit.

“You should have cut your own finger!”

“I can’t concentrate when I’m in pain, also it hurts!”

“That’s what I’m saying! It hurts!”

Such exaggeration. Why become an adventurer? Unfortunately Claire and Lelena had watched the whole thing and silently judged us.

According to the map that we got there’s a rest spot that the guild created. While making our way forward it slowly appeared. The land is a slight hill and there is the feeling of physical strength recovering slowly. I have no idea what type of mechanism does this but it is really convenient. Because there’s none else here we decided to have a meal.

I bring out an iron pan, some bread and a fruit that looks like a banana. I pour some milk into there and let it boil and soften. It smells like milk but everyone ate it happily, only an empty pan remains. I decided to discuss the future plans after eating, if we don’t have a plan then it will be hard to achieve anything.

“First I think we should set some aims and a degree of hierarchy before we dive even further.”

Each person responds differently.

“I want to go as deep as possible. I also want to reduce the possibility of us losing as much as possible but I don’t want to face a group of ogres.”

“That’s right. But it takes a while to get back to the surface wouldn’t it be better to set a goal?”

Amyl and Lelena have different opinions. I turned to Claire to see her opinion.

“I think it is good to decide on a hierarchy, and to set a level as a goal.”

I see. By using a level as a goal it is possible to reduce arguments. Amyl is nodding in agreement, it seems we will probably be going with that? As a conclusion we decided on level 20 being the first goal.

With swollen stomachs and restored physical strength we began to make a way to the third floor. I equipped my weapon and watched the movement of the enemies on the map. This allowed us to set up a preemptive strike. I shot flames against an enemy who is waiting in a corner, the enemy was unable to handle the heat and shot out.

Misguided Mushroom : Level 8

The hands and feet of the mushroom are about the size of a child, it’s movement is extremely slow. The combat ability of it is small.

Claire was firing arrows from her bow, although the arrows stuck into body the monster kept coming. It’s durability is surprising.

“Lets go !”

“Oh!”

Amyl and I whipped out swords and began to challenge the Mushroom at close range. The enemy isn’t very agile and I avoided its attack. We both cut at the Mushroom, when I cut the umbrella part of the mushroom it shrank for a moment and then scattered a white powder. I was lucky as I retreated behind a shield. It seems the poison causes illusions.

I, who jumped back was safe but Amyl who was near seems to have breathed in the poisonous powder. Amyl has a warped expression, although he is smiling. Amyl started speaking complete rubbish.

“That -? Wearing clothes and entering the bath? I better take it off before entering”

As he said that he began to take off his pants.

“Kyaaaa!”

“You… Amyl !”

Overwhelmed Claire screamed and averted her eyes. This type of thing is poor for the daughter of the house. I look and Lelena and it seems she is just staring at Amyl. Scary !

Lelena approached Amyl silently. The happy expression of Amyl increased as she approached. Suddenly there is sound of a rod hitting something followed by the air trembling. I also trembled a little. Amyl collapses with his lower body exposed and there is a deep red palm mark on his cheek. Suddenly his expression become one of a person stunned. Lelena’s detoxification magic is very reliable it seems.

The battle ended safely, only Amyl is scarred for life.

This time I didn’t level up, everyone else did though.

Claire : Level 9

HP 110/110

MP 30/30

Strength : Level 2

Intelligence : Level 1

Luck : Level 2

Possessed skills:

『Archery : Level 1』

Amyl went from level 11 to level 12 and Lelena went from level 10 to level 11.

While I begin a new search Amyl seems to begin remembering what just happened.

“I feel like I want to die right now…”

Amyl muttered with a white face, don’t worry. Your most important part is different when compared to normal men. Why is there resentment in your eyes?
