Magical★Explorer - Chapter 85

The Academy Dungeon 3

I was able to capture the twentieth floor within two days just as planned, all the running away has shown its result. The orc, boss of the twentieth floor is just a pig so there’s nothing special about it either. In the first place, a pig that can’t fly is just a pig, like the pig bastard that hasn’t reached its adolescent is just a pig bastard (TLN: Seishun Buta Yarou joke alert, to find out more click here)

After that, I immediately ate dinner and go to bed to finish the second day just like that. Then although it is not a pleasant wake-up, I did a big stretch and pour the coffee directly into my stomach. Now then, let’s head to the twenty-first floor! I sounded like I was in a rush but it would be more correct to say that the time has finally come.

The twenty-first floor is completely different from the first twenty floors.

The obvious change is that the previously stone constructed conventional dungeon has turned into a jungle ruin eroded by plants. The walls and floor are crawling with tree roots and mosses so if you are not careful you might slip and fall.

Well, I don’t really care about all that. The problem is the thing that is in front of me right now.

Should I say that it finally appeared huh? It is something that you can’t avoid in an eroge like Magical★Explorer.

Its body is small. Probably around one meter in height. A pair of small wings fluttering behind its back. It is looking at me with a forked spear in its hand.

In a sense, it is one of the monsters that are stronger than a normal boss monster. However, it is rare for this thing to not appear in an Eroge with RPG setting. It’s to the level that you would ask *So it actually exist?*

Now, the thing that is staring at me is wearing something that shouldn’t be in this kind of place.

It’s wearing a competition swimsuit.

Not visual aid, I just like my Kouhai.
It would be reasonable if this is a swimming pool but we are inside a dungeon. From the perspective of a normal person, that thing is simply a pervert. Well, it’s normal in eroge though.

Seriously, what is it doing wearing a swimsuit inside a stone dungeon? And I don’t know whether that is its waist or buttocks but there’s a long narrow tail protruding from it with a tip shaped like a spade.

Thick thighs, brown skin, a pair of underdeveloped breasts. A perfectly healthy body that isn’t too thin or too thick.

(TLN: for accurate image please try google “608570 hitomi” I advise using incognito mode first.)

With the expression that said *Hey I’m gonna kill you!* it is looking my way but let’s give an honest impression here.

It’s super cute.

“Fuu. You finally came out, you ero monster. On top of that, it’s a loli too.”

The imps that start appearing from the twenty-first floor and beyond have an appearance that is different from the imp from your conventional game. They are the erotically cute imp transformed to fit the concept of eroge. Moreover, they are all older than eighteen years old too.

If I tame a monster then it’s not hard to imagine that I would tame this one immediately. Even if it’s weak, it can still compete with the late-game bosses with enough items spent on it. Well, if it comes to that, it might grow into an Ero Onee-san as well. Depending on the method, you can make a legal loli for yourself too.

I have been avoiding these kinds of monsters. Leaving Nanami aside, I don’t know how I will react to them in front of sempai and Ludi. The most worrying concern about this is how I will react after all.

However, even if it’s not an imp there should be ero monsters appearing inside the dungeon I introduced to Iori too. I wonder how he reacted to these monsters in front of the girls?

I will ask him later for a reference. Sorry that I used you as a guinea pig, it should be a place that easies for you to level in though…..

Well, the ero monsters are considered normal in this world so he might unexpectedly be used to it already.

There’s an imp-chan that looks like it is going to fly at me at any time in front of me but my course of action has already been decided.

“Here!”

I immediately took out a sound magic stone from my pocket and throw it at the imp. Of course. It would be troublesome to fight it while it is flying, its costume is quite revealing after all.

In the first place, might not be able to attack it if it keeps flying in that costume. Fighting it normally would take me too much time. Not to mention the mental damage……..Should I take a picture before I run away?

But it’s not that I will run away from all the monsters in this floor. If I don’t defeat some then I might have a problem in terms of experience points (Magic elements).

From the Turtle grinding, I now understand the importance of collecting magic elements. To increase your physical strength, it would be better to hunt the monsters in a dungeon. That doesn’t mean that the running and practice swing I have been doing was meaningless.

It might just be because of all the running away I have been doing but my running shown its result here and The Battou-jutsu is now an indispensable technique for me.

“So it’s here.”

The thing that changed on the twenty-first floor is not just its atmosphere but also the monsters that appear in it. It was true for the imp I encountered before and so is the treant that is now in front of me.

A treant is a close relative of the wood golem but it’s more fitting to say that they are both something like a tree. Speaking of the Treant’s characteristic then it would be its high attack power and its slow-wit, to put it simply they are muscle brain type monsters. Additionally, the treant’s weakness is fire so you can use fire magic to defeat it from far away. That being said, you can still defeat it without using fire magic.

Visual aid
The treant swings its log-like arm at me while walking slowly toward me. When I repelled its attack, I finally understood how abnormal the strength of Claris-san and Sempai is. After that, I defeat the treant with Battou-jutsu.

On top of its slow speed, it also possessed a physical body so if I don’t lose in the contest of power then it is just a wooden doll. If it’s like this then I can defeat it however much I want.

I cleanly bisected it then look at its grain. Come to think of it, you can tell a tree’s age by looking at its ring right? When I was thinking so, the treant already turned into magic elements and magic stone.

“The magic stone is getting bigger huh…..”

Is it the size of a pigeon food? I thought. The magic stone in my hand is the size of my pinky fingertip. ……..Still so small. Well, Luigia-sensei said that rather than its size it’s better to look at its component, density, and condensation so it seems that I shouldn’t worry about the size that much.

She is very competent in her work and magic-related stuff. She would make me cheerful just by looking at her but I want to have her to start learning something about money though.

Well, the treant is quite easy to hunt and like the game, it has a lot of magic power as well. Leaving the magic stone aside, I was thinking about grinding here for magic elements but there’s a problem with this place.

“Why is there a poison monster here.”

I haven’t seen one before but on the floor that the treants are spawning, there are the monsters called poison toad appearing as well.

If I make some mistakes and got poisoned then how will I cure it?

I can only use an item for that. I prepared some just in case but the poison in this floor is not that strong and the price for antidote wasn’t that expensive compared to battle magic stones.

That being said, I haven’t brought that much with me. Moreover, the battle magic stones are so useful that’s why I didn’t bring a lot of the antidote with me.

“Still, it’s my fail huh…..”

Even if I don’t hunt them, I should get poisoned at least once. In the game, there was a method to keep hunting while you are poisoned. Since the poison on this floor is weak I shouldn’t take much damage. should I just bare the poison damage and hunt? it was what they do inside the game after all.

I can do that too but my biggest concern is the side effect.

For example, in battle, you can fight without anything affecting you whenever you moved to the battle screen. But in this world, you would get tired if you move around and you would be out of breath if you run. There are negative effects that don’t exist inside the game.

I wonder what the effect does the poison has here? I should have investigated it before I enter this dungeon.

In the schedule, I planned to run away from everything besides the treants but there’s a possibility that I might get poisoned by mistake later so it should be better to try it out now.

Should I eat it as a test? No, I don’t know what will happen so let’s not do that now. If I am gonna do it anyway then it’s better to do it when there’s someone else with me and no time limit to worry about.

Nee-san or Luigia-sensei probably has some sort of poisons with them and that elf ero scientist will definitely have some. Yup, I can swear to the eroge god that she has some. I’m more afraid of the thing that she will ask in return though.

The first point I have to reflect on has come out.

Try everything you can before diving inside a dungeon. There are a lot of dungeons that I have to dive into after this. At that time, I will have to reflect on this.

Now then, it can’t be helped this time so let’s hunt if the only monster that appears is the Treants and run away from everything else.

For now, let’s defeat this treant first.
