CH 10.3

With level as the standard, once one surpassed level 10, they were at the stage where the astral was mostly free from the influence of material.

In other words, for the monster of the third stratum with the stratum control value of 20, common kinds of projectiles were already no more than distractions.

It was exactly because it understood this that the goblin, which had rushed forward without any sort of vigilance, got its leg entangled with the chain and fell headfirst with great momentum.

The kusarigama, used not as a projectile weapon but as a binding tool for hunting, stopped the goblin in place just as it was intended.

When the fallen goblin raised its face, it saw the faces of two girls with their teeth gritted through the tips of the spears that were thrust toward it, before then being stabbed to death as it was.

The wielded weapons were identified as a part of the astral.

The weight swooshing and whirling in the hand of the boy, who had taken the second kusarigama, crushed the arm of the goblin that was wielding a short sword.

As the scythe was sucked into the startled goblin’s neck, blue fluid scattered horizontally with a spurt.

As it was, the kusarigama was used as a throwing binding tool, knocking down another goblin, and letting it be finished off by the pair of spears acting as the rear guards.

「Sha!」

Stepping forward and letting out an exhalation at the same time, he slammed his fist into the goblin that had fallen to his feint and lost its stance.

The short sword clenched backhanded in the left was used to parry the goblin’s attack, while the brass knuckle fist clenched in the right struck the goblin in the jaw.

Rather than battle for each other’s life with weapons in hands, compared to ring or street fights, to him, the goblin’s move was nothing more than an amateur’s telephone punch.

Even if the blow was lacking in ability to reap its life, the staggering and wobbling goblin was already no threat to him.

Although it was a monster that was the embodiment of miasma, as long as the materialization imitated a living being, its flesh was also a material creature.

The goblin, whose jaw had been struck and brain had been shaken, fell to its knees with a plop and had its throat slit as it was.

「— sha, not bad. I think I’ve caught a glimpse of my style.」

Heaving out a long sigh, Seiichi stared at his right hand.

「Haa, that was scary…. As expected, the sensation of stabbing is so gross.」

Shizuka, continuing to hold her spear tightly, nodded her head next to Mai, who had plopped down on the floor and leaned on her spear.

「However, it’s all thanks to Touma-san setting up the stage, right?」

「You’re right. Stabbing from a place beyond the range of the stumbling goblin seems doable even for us, I suppose.」

「I’m also somewhere along barely able to manage if it’s only one on one. Rather, I did know the preconception that projectiles were ineffective, but I sure am surprised that you’d come up with the idea of using them as binding…. Huh.」

With the hexagonal six-foot rod on his shoulder, Touma moved to retrieve the kusarigamas in the place where the goblins had been annihilated.

Folding his arms, Seiichi squinted his eyes and glowered at him.

「What’s wrong, Seiichi?」

「No… that thing, the club you picked up yesterday?」

As Touma replied, Yea, it is, right in front of Seiichi, the hexagonal six-foot rod vanished as if melting into the space.

Pressing his temple with his fingers, Seiichi shifted his gaze diagonally upward.

「Say… Touma, can I ask you something?」

「Yeah.」

「Are you able to use some kind of weird skills?」

「Yeah.」

As Touma was giving a sidelong glance to Seiichi, who was massaging his own temple, Shizuka, who had tottered around to gather the goblin crystals, handed them over to him.

With a clink, he stored them into the item box as he was.

「Let’s go, to the next one.」

「No, wait. Wait a minute. As expected let me make a comeback jab here.」

「Err, you want to do it, right away?」

「No, that’s not it, you don’t have to undress. Not blowjob, either.」

Mai, squatting down with a plop at his feet, puffed out her cheeks.

「Rather than me, you want to do it with Shizuka?」

「Err, no, way.」

Shizuka, promptly running away and hiding behind Touma’s back, murmured as such.

「Seiichi. I think that’s insincere of you toward Mai, who’s so devoted to you.」

「So you’ve gotten tired of me, huh….」

「No, you’ve got it all wrong! I want to do it with you too, Mai, no, that’s not the point.」

Reaching out, Mai grinned and put her hand on Seiichi’s crotch.

「I’m sorry for teasing you. But I’m starting to get a little tingly…..」

Scratching his head, Seiichi looked up at the ceiling.

◇ ◇ ◇

Remaining vigilance of our surroundings as we are in the dungeon, we opt to standing doggy position in consideration of our equipment.

Leaning backward on me, who is leaning my back against the wall, Shizuka is out of strength.

I hold her up by hugging her with my hand, which is around her stomach, and hooking her from below, so she doesn’t slump down.

When I stroke her belly button with my right hand, which I have tucked inside her blouse, she bends backward and rubs her body against me like a spoiled puppy.

Unlike our first time, more often than not, Shizuka ends up climaxing before I do, so I feel a little bad for her.

I thought she was faking it out of consideration of me, but the twining sounds of her sticky inside, where I’m connected to her through, are erotic.

「So, speaking of the skill you can use even without performing class change, it’s a gift you’re born with, isn’t it?」

「Perhaps, I think that’s not it.」

「Hnn~…Seiichii~.」

Mai, who seems to be high due to level up intoxication, clings to Seiichi from the front and acts like a spoiled kitten.

With her cute ass laid bare from her skirt, she feverishly shakes one of her legs, which is being held up by Seiichi, and rubs her cheek on his chest.

「This, it’s turned into a kind of weird habit due to yesterday’s successive battles, huh.」

「Today I’ve come with proper preparation, after all… so, do me more?」

「What a hopelessly lewd girl, you are.」

「I thought you were going to violate and mess me up after every battle, but you’re such a tease, Seiichi.」

「It’s not like I have the urge to cum all the time, and do you not mind being treated like a sexual venting tool?」

Getting her ear bitten, Mai slightly shakes her ass and nods her head in consent.

「If that means I’ll get to be used by you, Seiichi, no, I don’t mind…. But be sure to shower me with love at night, okay?」

I’m impressed with Mai’s laudable devotion, unlike my initial impression of her, but it seems to give Shizuka some weird stimulation, so I think moderation is good.

Specifically speaking, me too, she is appealing as such with her attitude and eyes.

Well, we are all unrepentant.

「Gift, huh? I guess people with such a do exist, too.」

I wonder if they are the so-called espers?

「I’ve heard rumors that there are such folks in the flower group. Perhaps it’s inherited through blood, because they seem to have come and raised their level here for generations. It seems to have higher awakening rate than the so-called returning to one’s ancestry or mutation, you see.」

「Hmm. Then I guess Item Box is as expected a different thing.」

「… The heck is that?」

「More or less a mysterious space that can store anything, it seems.」

Suke-san the spirit also said that it was a newly created skill.

I don’t quite understand it myself, but I give him a quick rundown.

By the way, as the meeting time seems going to be prolonged, Shizuka continues to happily shake her ass in service mode.

Honestly speaking, I think the so-called 『Service Princess』 mysterious class would be the best match for Shizuka.

「Trading it with a rare item… You mean 『Shop』?!」

Perhaps the member inside her also wakes up with a jolt as Seiichi raises his body in excitement, Mai, who is on his chest, clings to him with a feverish, melting face.

「One of the seven wonders of the dungeon. A dungeon stall that sells everything.」

「By the way, the place where the store was at was a wall, you know?」

「I, bet. They say it’s like a mirage in the desert. There’s a few sightings a year, but it’s not the kind of thing you can find by looking for it.」

Lovingly stroking Mai, who seems to have her switch flipped on again and begins to squirm, Seiichi looks up at the ceiling.

If it really sells anything, then there’s no way Seiichi, who’s looking for a breakthrough method, wouldn’t have investigated it.

「Well, if it really exists, then all we have to do is to explore until we stumble upon it. By the way, Touma.」

「Yea.」

「That thing, have you tried it outside?」

If he means outside the dungeon, then it’s a yes.

「I see… I see, so that’s the case, huh. As expected, huh, damn it.」

「Ahn, ahn, ahn, amazing, so amazing, Seiichi, so amazing.」

With the corners of his mouth warping upward into a smile, Seiichi holds up both of Mai’s legs and shakes his hips around like there’s no tomorrow.

I get that he’s excited because his hypothesis has been proven, but I’m afraid he’s going to etch an additional weird habit on Mai.

I hold Shizuka, who is staring at them enviously and seemingly about to do something reckless, by her legs and lift her into the air at once.

I’d like to avoid her becoming perverse and all sulky.
