Day 55 Late Morning, Dungeon, 50 floors underground.

The giant boomerang is flying through the room, tearing through the air with a thunderous roar, the massive blunt weapon draws an irregular elliptical trajectory. The one commanding the battle is our glorious leader, Pres-sama. Should I perhaps make a whip for her? Eh? Somehow, it feels like it might suit her? I wonder if a leather outfit will look good on her? Is Pres-sama going to change Job to Mistress? A rank above Royal Girl?

Heel!

Alright. She stopped the idiots from chasing after the giant boomerang. Or rather, stop chasing everything you see! Its a boomerang, so it will come back anyway! Why do they run off chasing the boomerang they just threw themselves and then return running after it as it flies back?! Just throwing you guys instead will be faster! In the first place, if you are going to chase it, the point of using it as a ranged weapon is completely lost, isnt it? Why are they chasing it all the way to the enemy, which actually happens to be flying? You might as well fight it in close combat at that point?

Moreover, we told them not to get near that thing since its hot, but they are chasing it anyway, just why is it? Cant they get the hint by looking at that? I mean, its Phoenix Lv 50, its definitely very hot! Its burning, why do they notice only after they get themselves burned?! Its literally a firebird! Its burning hot!

Defending from the fireballs that keep endlessly pouring from above they are gradually getting closer, using ranged attacks in the meantime. A solid approach.

Armored Pres-san, Slime-san, and I are prohibited from doing or even saying anything? Its boring, you know? Well, Slime-san cant speak, so it isnt going to run its mouth, but in a way, it seems very keen on doing exactly that, or rather, on swallowing up this bird? The bird seems hot to me, wont it get a burn? Even so, we are spectating.

It keeps evading the giant boomerang, but being unable to focus on offense due to continuous incoming attacks seems to be pissing it off. That must be because it doesnt eat enough fish. You wouldnt be so irritable if you had enough calcium, you know? And its also very tasty? Well, I doubt it has soy sauce, so

The charge attack it performs from time to time with that giant body is being repelled by the geeks, simply being on fire is not enough to break through that barrier. Even I couldnt do that! However, fried chicken sounds great.

Because it keeps resisting debuffs from the culture clubs girls, they cant deliver a decisive blow. This is a battle of attrition. The culture clubs girls also shifted to attacking with bows. Composite bows are a good idea, but it might be nice to add enchanted arrows to the mix as well. Fire rate and accuracy are great, but the destructive power is lacking. After all, the enemy is Regenerating. Is this bird actually a lewd bird? Is it regenerating all night long working hard, just like me? It has Regeneration Lv 8after all? But looks like it has no Insatiable Libidoor High Sexual Vigor. Its not one of my people.

(They have to get it to the ground, right? Long range attrition battle puts them at too much of a disadvantage? Armored Pres-san, dont you think so as well?)

(Nod, Nod) (Jiggle, Jiggle.)

As I thought, they are of the same opinion. Or rather, it will be all over if we simply slam dunk the bird with Slime-san. Regeneration or whatever, it will be devoured right then and there. I mean, Slime-san looks like its about to eat it any moment now? But we happen to be prohibited from interfering.

Focus fire on the base of its wings!

Roger that!

Looks like they are trying to shoot it down, but its difficult to concentrate fire on a target that flies around. They have to slow it first. But Wire Cutter can only be used by Slime-san and me, Air Walkalso can be used only by me, the only skills that can get it at this range are myDimension Bladeand Armored Pres-sansSword Flash. Since they had no means to quickly finish it off this turned into a prolonged battle, and in prolonged battles Regenerationgives one an overwhelming advantage, but no one has it besides Slime-san, Pres, and me. Actually, Pres-san has a full set of Regeneration,Insatiable LibidoandHigh Sexual Vigor, but since she is glaring at me Im not going to say anything. Focus on commanding, okay? Dont get distracted? Im not saying anything at all? We are of one kind, you know?

Im coming~! Here we go~. Take this~Freeze Line~?

Everyone, charge!

Roger!

Countless arcs of ice appeared in the air, trapping the phoenix and creating the path to it. Indeed, with this, there is no need to force it to the ground. Everyone runs up the ice arcs, rushing towards the phoenix. If they manage to bring it down here the victory is assured.

So that was their aim, as I thought, while everyone can use magic, they lack specialized backline mages. However, Great Sagealone has excessive magic firepower. There wouldnt be any problem if she was using it on the usual basis, but for some reason, she is specializing in close combat.

As expected, the geeks mage specializing in protection is the reason for the lack of offensive power, however, it is also true that we dont have enough defensive options as well. There were too many spellcasters among the 13 dead.

Strike its wings!

Ill take the right one!Ill help~.Same~!Leave it to us!

Well take the left one!

The head is suppressed by the geeks and the committee members. Hmmm, will they make it in time? The Numerous interconnected ice arcs are about to melt. Sliding on them probably would be a lot of fun, but I think theyll be angry if during the combat someone goesICE SLIDE, YAHOOOO!behind them. Lets control ourselves? (Jiggle jiggle) Yes, looks like we cant?

The idiots on the left ice bridge are about to get rid of the right wing, but for what reason do they keep hitting it with boomerangs? And yet it somehow suits them? Are they aborigines? Barbarians? Just what did they think a boomerang was when they asked me to craft it? You can use swoooords! However, it seems to be very effective.

The right side struggling with attacks from the legs, hindering the progress? The athletic girls move to suppress the legs, while the bitches are targeting the wings. But the ice wont hold much longer?

Wouldnt it have been better to focus on one of the wings or the head? Well, as a failsafe plan, this one might be better, but fighting against someone with Regenerationthey have to swiftly finish them off, or they will keep fighting back? Moreover, currently trapped in ice, the fire is suppressed, but as soon as it melts down Epic Flamewill be back at full force. When that happens they wont be able to get close.

Well, Vice Pres B-san seems to be doing all of this on purpose, so lets leave it be. There is probably some kind of meaning to it. Librarian also doesnt use her last resort skills.

While its only level 50, a monster who is both a floor master and a dungeon master cant be beaten that easily. The enemy also has a trump card. Upon appraisal, one of the skills showed as?. Its probably either This or That.

We are finishing it when it falls down!

Preparations complete!

Ready at any moment!

Looks like they are planning to finish it in one go, so its about time we get moving as well.

*DOGODADAGAGAGOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU.*

Losing its wings the phoenix falls to the ground along with the prison of ice, which everyone follows by plunging at the phoenix from above, they are planning to finish it off with big attacks. Must be nice, being able to pull off such cheater moves.

Sevenfold Slash!Bomb Thrust!Ice Spear!Gravity EX!Disentegration!Rupture!Hee~yaa~Hail EX.Lightning Cut

With repeated heavy attacks from the cheaters the phoenixs HP rapidly vanished, and it turned into a pile of ash.

We did it! We beat the dungeon master!

We won! We did it!

The job is done, it seems. They went all out to kill it. They mustve kept pummeling it until they ran out of mana. Some of the girls are so tired that they lay down on the floor. But a few people seem to have noticed?

Good job? We are going to have a bird stew so gather up? Take a seat at whichever table you like~. We are going to need that area, okay? Move along, move along? Kind of?

Making everyone sit at the tables that I created at the side of the floor, I pull out a pot. Cooked bird meat with vegetables. Its just the right time to eat it. If only we had kombu, glass noodles, and tofu. Bird meat, cabbage, and mushrooms are all we have.

Lets dig in!

Being hungry due to running out of mana they are wolfing it down. They must be physically exhausted too. They dont seem to be injured, and the stew also has healing mushrooms in it, so they should recover in no time.

Well, today all of you failed, so the next time you are going to fight on the 50th floor under the surveillance of the instructors again, okay? Dungeon masters are a real pain, you know? Seriously.

Eeeh~? Whyy~? (*Booooo!

(Jiggle-Jiggle, Jiggle-Jiggle)

Slime-san is busy having its own meal over there. Thank goodness the phoenix remained. After all, Slime-san was looking at it with such an appetite, waiting for the fight to end this whole time? This was bound to happen one way or another. I mean, for the phoenix, the firebird, to return to ashes is basically a flag for an event? Well, it got eaten before it got a chance to revive? Slime-san seems to be in a good mood, so it must be delicious.

What? Why is Slime-san eating it?

It came back to life!

Eh? It was dead.

But its a phoenix

(Kuuuueeee)

Thats why they dont get a passing grade today. There was no problem with the combat itself, rather, they are extremely strong if things can be handled in an orthodox way. They fight with certainty. Thats why they failed on the Sphinxs floor as well. Their offense is fueled by their suspicions too much. Specializing in anti-human combat their approach to monster combat became too honest, too upfront. The more they try to handle things in a certain and surefire way, being suspicious of human wickedness, the bigger the weakness to the monsters to exploit becomes. Monsters dont lie or deceive, unlike humans, they can be trusted. Thats why being too suspicious they end up overlooking it. That was not an attempt to deceive them.

The phoenix had one?skill in its status. I mean, its a phoenix, but it had onlyRegenerationand noImmortality? Which means that it must be either ImmortalityorResurrection? It was painfully obvious, and yet you jumped on the bird stew! So you fail! You shouldve kept your guard and endured it with rice balls! Sort of?

So we failed because of a bird stew?!

(Jiggle~ Jiggle~)

Looks like Slime-san liked it. And it mustve eaten the skills as well. Will it save us some of the food expenses? It seems it wont. Slime-san is already eating the stew. It learned how to use chopsticks by now, you know? Armored Pres-san looks so vexed by that? Its eating the stew, slightly floating in the air? The effect of the Floating Stone? Can you imagine that? Eating while floating through the room? How is it in terms of manners? I dont remember books on manners saying anything about levitating during mealtime? And it seems to like the food.

Well, lets go home.
