Day 60 Morning, Dungeon.

I got a dungeon that was already explored up to the 37th floor, and was abandoned like that, waiting for its turn for a clear. The geeks were busy with it, but ever since they were called to join others with the raids the place is untouched.

Since it was nearby, we had the geeks send us to the 37th floor with Gate, and parted ways with them after. We are going with the usual Nod-Nod, Jiggle-Jigglegroup.

Today Im going for middle floors only, so I wouldve been fine even without the two, but they are going to accompanyme it seems, not sure if this is an effect fromTamingbut they are quite keen on following me? Come to think of it, even at the inn, there is always a group of the bitches behind me, was that Tamings effect? Well, I cant dismiss any of them on my own, for some reason, they wont allow me. According to rumors, its only until they repay the favor, but Bitches Gratitudehas little prospect of getting animated or becoming a movie, although it sounds like a fitting title for a lewd book.

Even only the middle floors, if the monsters lack in speed or numbers they cant serve even as practice, but right now, the very use ofMagic Wrapis important. Things should become a lot easier as soon asApex Thinking-san gives me calculations based on the data that Im feeding it.

Unlike the safe automatically operatingCheat Skillswhat I have is a bunch of fully manualJunk Skillsforcibly merged and weaved together, that Im manipulating and controlling all at once, which comes with a high probability of failure, and even if everything goes well, if they exceed my ability for control, I will take damage.

Well, self-destruction and self-regeneration are in a closed loop now, like a compound fracture of every bone in the body and snapped muscles? The Estimated time for full recovery is about one second? Kind of?

Since even the speed of regeneration received a massive boost, Im perfectly fine regenerating in the middle of combat, as long as I watch out for fatal wounds I can fight without any issues. Well, it can get really bad if I break my legs, suddenly being stuck in the middle of a swarm of monsters isnt just dangerous, it wouldnt be surprising to have one of them bite off my head at any moment.

But well, isntBound Dog Lv 38just the strongest?Are they going to woof an unyielding loyalty? Well, those are actually just jumping puppies, so lets steel our hearts and knock them out, Im actually hitting them withStaff of the World Tree, but it should be alright if I hit them really, really, hard. Since they will vanish on the spot?

(Jiggle Jiggle!)

Slime-san turned red, and clad in flames, is currently having a meal, do those count as hot dogs? And after eating tons ofLeapskill its now jumping around in high spirits, but with the dungeon being too narrow, its bouncing off the walls like a pinball? It looks fun, but the dogs are desperately running around, trying to get away from its odd, baffling and just bizarre trajectory, but whatever, I guess?

Armored Pres-saaaan, moving still feels weird, but is it actually fine? I sort of feel like were I to get used to this Ill become something else entirely? Is this really fine? It just feels all sorts of wrong, like, doesnt it bring out a sense of wickedness, making it seem totally viciously evil?

(Nod, Nod!)

Its fine, it seems, I hope that nodding wasnt to the viciously evil part, I really want to think it wasnt. I have an inkling that this points to certain events unfolding every night, but it shouldnt be that.

Was that perhaps an example? That Slime-sans pinball-like bizarre and irregular attack, with the way Im now randomly Teleportingall over the place, while constantly accelerating with Extreme VelocityandRushreplicating the previous precise flow-like movements refined of uselessness and controlling them is not possible. Then how about abandoning the process and going about in reverse, merely patching it up and controlling it just enough to make it match the result, that approach should be the simplest and most optimal. Cutting while abandoning the precision of movements in the process, going from the future where I cut the enemy, and forcing everything to sum up to result in that Slash. Can I do that?

I tried, but I dont get it at all?

Why would the monster be slashed horizontally if I went for a very straightforward downward swing from overhead? Are the slashes being Teleportedtoo? And my own positioning is weird too, here I take a step forward, and now Im looking at the enemy from behind. Aside from the end result, that is a cut enemy, everything else is a mess, and Im also passing through enemy attacks.

Is this the same effect as Vanishthat Vanish Wolves were using? Am I passing through by instantaneous super short range teleportation? Am I disappearing for a moment? Jumping through space? Its way too incomprehensible for me. Since Im fully entrusting this toApex Thinking-san, Apex Thinking-san probably knows what its doing, but my own mind cant keep up with it. Thats what Im fighting with no idea of what is going on, cutting enemies without understanding what is happening.

In the end, the pack ofBlade Swallows Lv 40of the 40th floor was slashed to pieces and disappeared without me understanding anything. A puzzling battle, which I won without knowing how.

I mean, a diagonal slash at a blade swallow somehow cut it perfectly vertically from overhead, like, what the hell? Was it Swallow Counter, just for swallows? [1] Ganryu Island is impossible for me? Id attack the boat before he can give me that Kept you waiting, you know? [2] I mean, the one who arrived first is at clear advantage? I definitely wouldve made traps instead of waiting. Rather, forget Swallow Counter, Im far too busy with Midnight Counter every day?

But Armored Pres-san, who was observing, is nodding along, does it mean that its good?

Slime-san is going bounce-bounce, it definitely wasnt looking. Swallows seems to be delicious too, but whats the point for a slime to learnAir Maneuverability?

Currently on standby.

The 44th floor we were greeted by old acquaintances Mithril Golems Lv 44, an awkward attack with Staff of the World Treemight erase them from existence, which would be a huge waste. So Armored Pres-san is in the process of dismantling them with precise cuts. Slime-san is also snatching some bites, but its fine if its just a bit.

From time to time Slime-san would pull out a mithril sword or spear to fight with it, but I havent given any mithril weapons to it. In that case, its making them inside its body. Slime-san is creating and producing weapons from mithril which it then uses in combat. In that case its fine to allow Slime-san to eat more.

From time to time Slime-san would also change color to silver, deflecting incoming attacks, but that might actually be a form of mithrilification, so since its put to a good use and seemingly delicious on top of that, its fine to let it have more. I still have plenty of mithril left too.

Well, there might be no other choice but to learn to control bizarre and irregular attacks coming from those strange and abnormal movements born from this twisted mash-up of skills which Im not even sure could be called a technique, while struggling not to get my mind blown, but like hell I can do that! In this case, as close to impossible as it may be, it would still be better to pursue Kyojitsuthan this. This is, how should I put it, I have no idea what I am doing myself. Wait a moment, now that I think of it, I often ask myself just what the hell am I doing in day-to-day life too, so maybe there is no issue? Is it really fine for combat to be like that too?

NeedBothAreRequire-red?

Is she saying that both are required? Or that she requires Red (blood)? I dont think she is a yandere, so Im sure she means that I need those bizarre attacks and Kyojitsu, or perhaps that I must practice both, but thats tough. Well, still better than getting stained in Red. Since its not about Beating, Id like to think that it should be alright. [3]

There also was a hidden room so I checked it on the way and found Demon Gods Zweihander PoW 60% Up, Recklessness +ATT -INT, the first item with 60% bonus, although its a muscle-brains weapon. What do we do, such a meatheaded weapon would fit only the idiots, but they might become unable to understand speech if they were to become even dumber. Well, they are idiots anyway, so whatever, even now, they might appear to understand human speech, but they definitely dont understand the meaning of the words.

But its huge, a zweihander is a large sword the size of a person, it was supposed to be about 1,8 meters but this one is about 2 meters. The skill Recklessnesson this sword is way too meatheaded, but I do feel that this is still better than having them clubbing enemies with boomerangs. In the first place, they have jobs like swordsman or knight, so they get no bonuses while using boomerangs, and no skills for them too, so this one is definitely better. I wonder if they still remember how to use swords though? How worrisome.

Then, shall we go down? We are about to enter the middle floors so Well, you are playing around even on the lowest floors, so it doesnt really matter, I guess? Or is it? But judging from the experience so far its going to end up with the usual They were very delicious. Well, if there wont be any tasty monsters then we will take a snack break. Now, lets go down.

(Jiggle~Jiggle)

Eating both snacks and monsters, its gluttonous appetite is a good match for Avarice-san in her lack of restraint. But for some reason, when its inside dungeons, I always end up spoiling Slime-san? Its all because it reminds me of the first time we met, when it was so hungry that it couldnt use magic power properly and could barely muster any of its strength, yet kept desperately fighting Well, if it was in top form then pres and the others wouldve been eaten, which is a problem too, I guess feeding it until Slime-san is full isnt a big deal. It seems to be enjoying every day, after all.

Now, lets go back and first have monsters, and then stop for snacks.

[TL Notes:

[1] Tsubame Gaeshi (lit Swallow Counter) a reference to the famous technique of the legendary Japanese swordsman Sasaki Kojir. It was an overhead katana (or, in Sasakis case, a nodachi) stroke that was performed so swiftly it resembled the flight of a sparrow, hence the name.

[2] Ganryu Island is the site of the famous duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro. According to the tale, Musashi kept Sasaki waiting for hours, which as some claim was a clever ploy to screw with Sasaki.

[3] Just kidding, there wont be a footnote for yandere XD
