Going further for a few minutes, I encountered a frog monster again.

Moreover, not only one frog but also there were rats.

When counting them, there were 3 of them.

Our numbers are the same.

The frog takes stance when it recognizes us.

The rats headed for us at once, but only 3 of them is not worth talking about.

Pochi, Haku and Koku intercept and immediately silence them.

As for the remaining frog, it didn't turn from my direction whether it targeted me or not.

Well, it's just right.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or was aimed, but either way, I have to be able to respond to that movement.

As a countermeasure, I handled it by bending a little my knees and swaying slightly to the left and right little by little.

By doing that to deal with the frog, the frog opened its big mouth.

Its tongue? Or something else?

Thinking that I didn't miss the behavior of the frog.

Just as I thought, it was its tongue that came out.

Its tongue comes out flying with great force.

The speed of the tongue is quite fast.

It's fast, but it isn't that fast for the current me.

I think the speed of the frog's tongue probably exceeds 150 kph.

If it's an ordinary person, he will sense that it’s pretty fast.

When it reaches 150 kph cla.s.s, it's enough to have a missed swing even for professional baseball players.

However, for the current me, it's almost the same as a hit.

I clearly see that the tongue was heading straight and dodge it with margin.

Besides, not only dodge it but also I cut up the pa.s.sing tongue with the Tsuruginata from bellow.

The Tsuruginata cut the frog's tongue off.

When cutting, there was almost no resistance.

It was the same as the previous frog, but the blade pa.s.sed considerable smoothly.

Perhaps, is this fellow quite weak?

No, it isn't that.

That body blow was quite something.

Although it didn't cause me great damage, it should have caused considerable damage if Haku or Koku receive it.

Besides, since it first came out on the third floor, it should be stronger than a rat or a rabbit.

There's such pattern in games, but I can't say it's absolute because sometimes there are differences.

Then, does that mean I got stronger?

I don't know because I don't feel that I got strong, but maybe this floor's monsters aren't an opponent for me?

Thinking about such thing, the frog that has its tongue cut off was struggling on the spot because it was considerably painful.

After a while, when I think its movement has stopped, the frog came jumping toward me.

Not long ago I couldn't see the frog jumping, but this time I saw it.

As for its speed, it's faster than the tongue.

Is it about 160 to 170 kph?

Hardly an ordinary person could deal with this speed.

Moreover, the frog is pretty big.

Even if you can luckily move, it’ll be enough to move the body only a little.

But, there is no problem for me.

Moreover, Pochi can move faster.

Pochi is really fast.

Doesn't he exceed lightly the 200 kph?

It may be different because I didn't measure it properly, but there is no doubt that it's faster than this frog.

For me who has been watching the movement of Pochi, the movement of the frog was too slow.

I dodge it with margin and wield the Tsuruginata to the frog that showed its back.

I lift and swing down the Tsuruginata.

Is it commonly known as bamboo splitter?

The Tsuruginata cut from the frog's back to its b.u.t.tocks smoothly.

Leaving its head, below was largely torn.

As might be expected in this way, the frog couldn't resist and died.

Then, at this time I was wondering.

Isn't it being torn too quickly?

It isn't weird to tear this much because the physical ability has increased by defeating monsters.

However, it's strange that it doesn't feel like it tore with overbearing brute force.

Nevertheless, what is the lack of response when I cut the frog?

It was too easy for me that it felt as if I had cut tofu.

Unintentionally, wondering what's going on, I take a look at the Tsuruginata.

I look the Tsuruginata from various angles.

From the front, side, above, etc.

However, as far I can see there hasn't been any change from before.

The color and l.u.s.ter are almost the same too and there is no nicked part on the edge too, it was almost the same as when I bought it.

I finally noticed that it was strange when I looked at it.

Why hasn't it changed?

If I use it for a long time, it would definitely be a nick in the blade.

Even if there was no nick in the blade because it was used well, however, it wouldn't be strange if there is a discolored part by the blood.

As one would expect I don't think that I was able to remove all the blood.

After the battle is over, even if the blood acc.u.mulates in the border between the handle and the blade that may discolor it, that only thing I could do was to simply wash away with water.

However, the part of the handle also didn't seem discolored.

Something is wrong.

What's going on with this Tsuruginata?

It seems that there is some change in the Tsuruginata, however, that's not clear.

At this point, I know that it's about its sharpness and st.u.r.diness.

Although there may be something else, I don't know it.

If I say that it's good or bad to look at only these two points, I guess it's a good thing.

Eh?

Perhaps, there may be other things that are different as the Tsuruginata.

How about it?

Is there something wrong with what I am wearing?

The things I'm wearing now are the helmet, the carbon suit, rubber gloves and boots, and the rucksack and a canteen.

The helmet, the carbon suit and the rubber gloves and boots haven't particularly changed.

Although I have become familiar with them compared to before, I don't know the durability.

Why?

Because I didn't compare how durable they have become.

Well, although I receive several attacks, at that time I wonder if there is a hole, and look if there is one or not when it's examined carefully.

I didn't care if there was a difference in the attack received, so I don't know if there was one.

Therefore, I don't know if there is a change in the durability.

That said, these four articles are shelved for the time being.

What about the rucksack and the canteen?

Was there a change?

Oka~ay, remember.

Remember the difference between the time I entered the dungeon and now.

Putting aside if the durability is the same as the carbon suit because I don't know, something different is ……

First, the canteen.

The amount of water that enters hasn't changed.

The flavor also hasn't changed.

The heat insulation is…

That?

What about that?

I don't know because I haven't examined it thoroughly, but I feel that it's a little longer.

I will try to verify this later.

This is about the canteen.

Then, what about the rucksack?

If there is a difference, is it the capacity?

What if the capacity had changed?

It would be a magic bag already, isn't it?

Then, has there been any change in the capacity?

I remember the amount I had put in the rucksack until now.

Then I noticed something unusual.

The number of spoils I was putting in the rucksack is different.

At that time, I thought that the number put was different because the size was different, and I didn't notice even when taking out to dismantle, but I feel that the amount which entered is obviously increased about one.

Although I said that only about one, that is, about one rabbit increased, is it?

I better examine thoroughly this later.

How much can enter?

Well, okay.

For the time being, I will leave that.

The problem is how this change happened.

There is only one possible cause.

It's that it defeated a monster.

What if the change caused by defeating a monster affects not only the body but also what you wear?

As a result, the Tsuruginata increased its sharpness and st.u.r.diness, and the rucksack changed into a magic bag.

When I think about it, it fits.

But, is this really the case?

Perhaps there are other causes.

For example…, that, it might be by being bathed in the blood of monsters.

Now I can't think of anything else, but it might be other cause.

I don't know the cause, but it looks like what I'm wearing has changed from ordinary.

Should I inform about this?

However, there is also the matter of the monster meat.

Perhaps, the government may already know this as well.

What to do?……

Okay.

For the time being let's see the situation.

First of all, I also don't know what to think.

Let's do that.

I decided to keep this in mind.
