Theres a boss room every ten floors. And we should expect waitin lines on the upper floors, Sword immediately made use of his wireless communication device.

I suppose thats commonplace. No choice. Lets make a stop at the tenth floor then, I answered while dashing across walls and ceilings in order to avoid other people.

I didnt plan on killing any monsters. Theyd probably try escaping anyway.

I arrived at the tenth floor in the blink of an eye.

Was it around 5 minutes? Itd be great if we could have skipped a bit more.

Well, yeah. These floors are no problem after all.

No waiting line awaited us, but the door didnt open as there apparently were people inside.

If we keep going at this rate, it looks like were going to clear this dungeon by today, butstarting with the 50th floor, its going to be uncharted territory for you, so lets go at a slower pace then.

Sure. I think well be able to keep up this pace down to the 30th floor, but if I remember correctly, the floors in the thirties were jungles infested by insects, so I dont feel like itll be that easy to get through em, you know? The floors in the forties were overrun by undead. Anyway, they stank and I got attacked by swarms of em, so they were a major pain in the ass. I went further down into the fifties as a test, but the floors there seem to be endless plains that thwart any mappin attempt. Moreover, the sight is bad down there cause of the high grasses. All of this made it really inefficient as a solo adventurer, so I pulled back.

Oh, interesting. That does sound fun.

Come to think of it, is there anything we should hunt or gather in the dungeon?

The basics of any hunting game dictate that theres loot you can only obtain at certain places.

Parties other than ours usually reach the floors in the thirties, so I think we dont need to bother until then. The fortiesare quite unpopular. Folks capable of usin light magic are rare, and they run quickly out of mana thanks to the sheer number of monsters. Besides, the demand for loot from undead is very limited.

It sounds like itd be better to simply cut across those floors.

So, were going to play the hunting game, starting with the fifties, huh? The standard for plains would be frogs and locusts, I suspect.

Frogs, huh? If Im not wrong, those can be eaten, cant they? I dont want to eat locusts, however. Even If Im told theyre a delicacy or some such, its impossible for me.

Now then. Oh, its open.

When we went inside the rooma bear?

Gaooh!

It roared something like that at us. Whats this? Its kinda cute.

But, just as I thought that, Sword quickly killed it.

Kay, lets move on.

He quickly opened the treasure chest and then urged me on.

You call me cold-hearted or some such, dont you? But I mean, even you killed that lovely bear with its adorable pose as it roared Gaooh! with one blow, showing no hesitation whatsoever.

Its because I wouldnt consider a monster as Lovely. Come on, go, go. Were runnin.

Why not!? Even though it was so damn adorable!

We advanced down to the 30th floor at a good pace. The waiting time in front of the boss room took us longer than getting there. Many parties headed back up after that boss.

Quite a lot of people dont go any further, huh?

Or to be more precise, its all parties who turn back. But, why?

Things like compatibility with insects depend on preferences. Im sure youll love them, though.

Hmmmhhmm. Thats not really true, you know? Its just that the things Ive built look like insects by coincidence!
