I tossed the crushed troll into the storage bag, and wandered about B2.

After that, I safely defeated the trolls that appeared, and right now Ive just defeated the sixth one.

I had expected each individual to have different Skills like the orcs and slimes, but they all had the same ones, so I couldnt obtain any new Skills.

Ive pasted their Skills on pebbles, but honestly, I was struck with an idea so I thought that I would try experimenting once I return home.

Phew, will this do for now? Its quite late, so why dont we head back?

As Aisha said that, she thought for a while, and gave a suggestion.

Myne-kun, do you think youll be able to defeat this levels boss, the Troll Gazer?

Its just that is a seriously formidable enemy, so it might be a hard fight, even for Myne-kun

The reason the Troll Gazer is regarded as formidable is because of its regeneration and its strengthened Skills, so if its me, I think I could probably defeat it.

Regarding my offense, I think I could exterminate it in one go if I use Twirling.

I wonder if Aisha decided after seeing my battles with the trolls?

Un, it seems to be worth challenging.

I wont say that its absolute, but I could probably defeat it

As I said that, Aisha seemed to have prepared herself for the worst, as she nodded with a serious look, and our attempt at the boss was hurriedly decided.

As expected, theres really no one here, huh

Aisha muttered in the hall before the boss room.

The Clan Soaring Sandstorm was in the B1s, after all.

I think it feels somehow lonely, looking at this deserted room.

However, I think its natural that nobody is here.

If there isnt enormous firepower, its evident that the tables will be turned on them.

Properly speaking, its monster which you need to prepare for drawn-out battle as you gather firepower.

However, I plan to immediately steal its Skills, and floor it in one go with Twirling.

Yosh, lets go

We opened the door and set our feet into the room.

Name: Troll Gazer

Race: Demon Race

Gender:

Skills

Magic Eye of Charm

Strong ArmSacred

Abilities

None

This is awful.

Is this even something you can beat without stealing its Skills?

A party won against this? No, an alliance, maybe? Either way, its outrageous.

Oops, this isnt the time to be admired.

No can do, no can do. Ill have to first steal its Skills.

Aisha, can I leave you with fast attacks? Can you attack at full power at my signal?

Confirming Aishas nod, I stuck its feet onto the ground.

As long as you dont reach a certain distance from the floor boss, it wont move.

This will contain its initial movements.

Yosh, lets cast self-enhancements at full power.

Body EnhancementLarge Physical Strength EnhancementExtreme Leg Strength EnhancementSmall Strong ArmExtreme Strong ArmSacred Strength Rise

And create Twirling with Realize.

Yosh, Ive finished preparing!

Aisha, please!

Aisha fired an arrow at my shout.

The battle has started.

The arrow Aisha fired hit it, and the Troll Gazer which came alive tripped and stumbled greatly.

It tried to keep it balance so that it doesnt fall, but its too late!

I who started running at the moment Aisha fired her arrow, have already reached the range of my attack.

Eat this! Martial Art: Shark Glow!!

This attack had consigned a Calamity Class, and Orc King, to oblivion.

Theres no way this guy who lost its Ultra Regeneration can endure this.

The scene where I defeate the Orc King was perfectly reproduced.

With a violent explosion sound resounding in the surroundings, the Troll Gazer was cut up right in half.

And then, Twirling which had finished its role disappeared from my hands along with a light.

I then tossed the Troll Gazers corpse into my storage bag.

I sat down at that place and time.

As expected, creating Twirling was extremely exhausting.

Now then, I wonder what the drops are.

Name: LinusSword

Grade: Ultra

Effective against: Ghosts

Martial Arts: SacrificeZwei (TLN: )

An Ultra grade one-handed sword.

It has quite the high power, huh. Seems like it can even use an exclusive martial art.

Itll probably be good if I hand this over to Sylphy.

It seems like a good souvenir, and itll be good if shes happy with this.

Phew, thanks for the hard work!

Aisha talked to me with a little stunned expression on her face, and I also replied thanks for the hard work.

I got up with Aishas help, and we both went towards the transfer stone.

Like this, my first dungeon exploration ended.

We entered the dungeon in the morning, but its already completely dark.

My sense of time went greatly out of order when I went in, huh.

Itll be harsh if we dont stay for one more night.

Although its not that I cant return using Characteristic MagicSpace-time, but as expected, Im hesitating a little in showing it.

Frankly speaking, I feel like itd be okay to speak to Aisha about it.

However, theres also the matter with Sylphy, so I cant be resolute.

If I can believe in Sylphy as much as I can in Aisha when she returns Ill probably open my heart then.

Thats why, for now, well have to get a lodging.

No helping it, I guess, lets stay a night and return first thing next morning

Aishas also probaby quite tired as expected, as she immediately agreed.

We decided to head to the Silver Bell Pavilion which we had stayed at yesterday night.

Of course, it goes without saying that I held her hand firmly as we walked.

Good evening! Is there a room available?

The proprietress-san who received us last night was immediately there as we entered the entranceway, so we called out to her.

As we did that, she seemed to have remembered us, faced me and answered Yes, we still have some rooms available.

We paid for the lodging upfront, and followed proprietress-san who guided us to the same room as yesterday.

We sat on the chairs and relaxed for a while, before entering the bath which we are completely fond of together.

I am still a little embarrassed but, I think Ive gotten used to it greatly.

I reflexively let out a voice at the perfect water temperature.

Phew

Aisha who saw that giggled.

Somehow, it felt long, but also felt short Im really tired

Thats true, Im also a little tired. It has been a while since I went all out, after all

Lets slowly soak ourselves in the bath, and let it take away the fatigue

After that, we washed each others bodies, and enjoyed the bath while flirting.

What happened after coming out from the bath?

Of course, we slept together on the bed.

Youve got a problem with that?

AN:

Thank you for reading as always.

Please take care of me from now as well m(_ _)m

Ten hours While shaking on the carriage once again, we arrived back at the Town of Lucas.

When I boarded it alone, I felt that it was quite the tiring journey, but thanks to Aisha being here, we arrived without feeling bitter.

Because we boarded the carriage while dragged along by the lingering memory of yesterday night, neither I nor Aisha restrained ourselves at all.

Thinking about it now, theres no doubt that the people on the same carriage as us experienced an extremely difficult trip.

I feel like Ive done something bad to the people who shared a carriage with us Im sorry.

Im back!

Although we were gone for only two days, as soon as I entered the house, I felt that my body become weak.

Although I didnt feel it, in the end, my nerves were strained, huh.

Ill leave the request for the bath to the craftsman for tomorrow.

Seems like Hime-sama isnt back yet

Un, Im actually a little relieved.

If she returned to our absence, even though she said that she will return in about 10 days, Sylphy will also be troubled.

While I was in the carriage going there, I suddenly felt worried.

As I discussed this with Aisha, she told me that theres certainly a possibility for that to happen, and my heart throbbed quite quickly.

Im reflecting; I should have thought this through at first.

We threw ourselves onto the bed for a while and rested, but we decided to start preparing for dinner as my stomach let out a rumble.

Aisha paid attention to my needs and said that she would make it by herself today, and that I should rest. As a result, I lay on the bed as I had been.

As I was waiting, I had nothing to do, so I decided to try experimenting on something I hit upon when we were in the dungeon.

Firstly, I took out the haft and blade of the broken steel dagger from my storage bag.

What I thought of was, Cant I restore the dagger using Regeneration?.

However, it wouldnt be interesting with just restoring it, so lets try carrying out another experiment.

In the end, I couldnt experiment whether Regeneration can mend damage parts in battle, but I anticipate that I can confirm it with this experiment.

Firstly, I pasted Regeneration onto the haft.

As I did that, the lost blade grew from the haft.

Name: Steel Dagger +12

Grade: High

Effective against: Humanoid

Skill: Regeneration

Seems like it was completely repaired.

Yosh, next experiment.

Now, Ill try striking Lightning Edge strongly with the restored steel dagger.

As I did that, the steel dagger couldnt endure the force, and chipped, though only a little.

As I stared at the chipped part, I saw that it gradually restored It then returned to its original form in about a minute.

If I pasted this onto all my equipments, wouldnt I not need maintenance?

Moreover, even if they receive damage in a battle, wont it conveniently get mended?

For now, I pasted Regeneration on Lightning Edge as well.

However if I paste this onto myself and lose an arm or something, itll regenerate, wont it?

Its good that itll regenerate, but if someone were to see that process.

Un, Ill paste it each time during healing, and paste it onto a pebble when Im not!

Yosh, lets start the next experiment.

This time, I try pasting Strong Arm onto the steel dagger.

If this goes well, I can probably attack with considerable strength, right?

Im going to the dismantling shed for a while, Ill be back immediately!

I called out to Aisha, and hurried over to the dismantling shed.

I then placed the Troll Gazers corpse onto the work table and tried cutting at it with the steel dagger with Strong Arm pasted on it.

However, the blade could only inflict a small wound on the Troll Gazers corpse.

Un, no good, I cant use this.

I somehow expected it, but Strong Arm didnt activate.

In the first place, Strong Arm is the type of Skill where itll activate by the users thoughts.

In contrast, Regeneration is a continuous activation type Skill.

Itll be simple for us who possess thoughts to activate the Skill, but a dagger doesnt have thoughts.

Thats why it cant activate Skills which require thoughts thats probably the case.

In other words, if I want the Skills effects when pasting Skills onto tools, then itll have to be a continuous activation type Skill.

With that, lets move on to the next experiment.

I tried pasting three Continuous: Power onto the steel dagger.

I then tried cutting at the Troll Gazers corpse just like before.

Different from the previous attempt, this time, the blade pierced deeply into it.

Un, just as I expected.

Itll be better to ensure the continuous activation type Skill as much as possible, huh.

I can move to the Dungeon of Strength with Characteristic MagicSpace-time whenever I wanted.

Itll probably be good to try going there to collect Skills when Im free.

As I came to that conclusion, Aisha called out to me.

Myne-kun, dinners ready

I tossed the Troll Gazers corpse and two steel daggers into the storage bag, and returned to the main building together with Aisha.

The dinner Aisha made was a masterpiece as usual.

Come to think of it, since we made it together up until now, in a certain sense, its my first time experiencing Aishas home cooking.

Although we arent married yet, it completely feels like we are newly-weds.

After finishing the enjoyable meal, Aisha went back to her own room.

She told me that she wants to finish cleaning up the room before Sylphy comes back.

As I said Wouldnt it be fine tomorrow?, she told me Therell be more leeway if its finished ahead of time., so I took over cleaning up the tableware and send her out. (TLN: Japanese and their dialogues in sentences @@)

Yosh, lets first wash them

I took out three pebbles with Continuous: Water pasted on them from the storage bag.

I gathered the Continous: Water from the three pebbles on to one, and made it the source of water for washing the tableware.

Although water will seep out a little with only one of this Skill, by combining three of them, I expect that itll be enough to wash the tableware.

Although it was a little more water flowing out than I had expected, it ensured that there would be enough water.

With this, theres no need to draw water from the well.

By the way, I thought of experimenting and drank the water, and it was sweeter than the well water.

Magic Water: Water overflowing with magical power and contains no impurities.

So it was written.

Furthermore, quite a lot of water is collected inside the storage bag with the pebbles inside it. If all the water is retrieved, it seemed like itll flood the washing place, and its a secret that I panickedly threw it away outside the storage bag.

After I threw away the water which had accumulated inside the storage bag, while I hummed to change my mood, I hastened the work, and finished cleaning up the tableware in the blink of an eye.

Now then, I once again divided the Skill onto three pebbles and limit the ejection of water.

If I left it as it is without thinking through it, the storage bag will become like before all over again.

If Im unlucky, its possible that the house will be flooded out.

I then made sure to put the pebbles with Continuous: Water pasted onto them into the storage bag I made with Characteristic MagicSpace-time.

I thought, Wont I be able to stop the water from gushing out since time doesnt pass inside it?.

Since Im in the kitchen, lets try experimenting once more.

I put in three Continuous: Water pebbles and 2 Continuous: Heat pebbles into a medium-sized bottle.

As I did that, it became fully filled in about thirty seconds, and as I tried putting my hand into it, it felt somewhat warm.

Its not enough, huh

I increased Continuous: Heat from two to three, and waited for 30 seconds.

Then, as I put my hand into it like before, though its not to the level of a hot bath (compared to the usual ones), it reached a temperature which felt good as it came into contact with my hand.

Yes, it felt like a baths hot water.

Un, there doesnt seem to be a problem for the hot water for the bath with this.

Since the construction will finish with only the water drainage system, it might not take that long to install it

Satisfied with the results, I returned to my own room.
