Chapter 88 Restart Dungeon Search Party! Dungeon Search Party!

A huge sprawling jungle lies before us. Yes, we're on dungeon 8F. Tropical climate rife with heat and humidity. Not an optimal environment for leather armor.

Tamchan is staying behind this time. She's working as an emotional support for the three girls. Our mascot this time is this person.

"Oy oy, this nice humidity's gonna make mine root hair go rock hard."

Yes, it's everyone's favorite Wakamoto-san. The other members in the party had an indescribable look on their faces when I told them he would be coming. But I'm afraid of the future if I don't train Wakamoto-san now. I hope he got a means to move around at least. It's not like he can't walk right now, but it's just way too slow. He'll be riding on my back for this excursion, so I'm moving in the back. I'll put him down if I need to though.

As for our bottleneck last time, I had asked Eleanor-san to introduce us to a retired adventurer to teach us lockpicking and trap search. I had every member attended the lesson for two days just in case. But only Mitama and I managed to learned the skills in the end. Though it was only beginner levels, learning those skills in just two days was quite a feat. Since our teacher, Red Nose-san was a heavy drinker, I presented him with trial-run unrefined sake to show my appreciation.

But dang, it's hot. My sweat is forming a puddle.

According to our intel, this floor consist of one huge room. It's also dotted with caves that sometimes have treasure chests inside. This floor's most well known characteristic is its abundance of monster types. So many that none has got the full picture yet even now. At a glance, I can see that there's a huge variety to be found here, from gigantic bird and beast monsters to small insect and leech monsters and stuff. As a consequence, the drop variety is also plentiful, you could even say it's a treasure trove of natural resource.
