Re:Monster Day 191 - 200

DAY 191

The second day after the opening of the store.
Apparently the buyers that came yesterday led to even more today. In the morning we had a crowd of shoppers. In addition, the quality of the shoppers had changed a lot.
Specifically, instead of the poorer nobles, there are now more wealthy merchants. However it's not just that. Now there are also more of the nobles' servants. Although they were only officers, among them were many who held a high position in the Sternbild Kingdom.
With the nobles came other visitors. Several servants accompanying their owners, as well as their butlers and maids who were shopping for their masters, though the servants also came to look at the goods for themselves.
From my observations about half of them were servants, although I would personally prefer it if, instead of messengers, the nobles would come in person. Servants of course make personal purchases, but even if their wages are higher than ordinary people, they cannot afford to buy everything they want like their employers.
Well, whenever the owners come by themselves without being accompanied by their servants and buy a huge amount of different goods on a whim, or buy things unaffordable for ordinary people, it certainly makes us happy.
To our delight, our profits greatly exceeded the amount we expected. Incidentally, this probably only happened as a result of the Tomboy Princess and the First Queen, if not them, their employees, through the spread of information about our store through their network of secret believers [Faith of the Five Supreme Gods]. Frankly, this information does not interest me, however I welcomed the attention brought to our store.
Judging from my experience, among the nobles and their servants, I often met followers of the [Faith of Five Supreme Gods]. They can be identified by a special ornament on their clothing, I also got used to their particular gazes the last time I encountered them, so it's become pretty easy to recognize them.
Well, leaving that aside, they are likely to ensure a supply of customers. I felt a load fall from my shoulders. It would not be fun to close immediately after opening.
But that is why it is too early to relax. Among the buyers, the majority turned up for something new and different, because you can't buy these items anywhere else, they have to come back to us, the store is necessary to provide the services and products that other stores simply do not. And because of the weak development of information transmission in the world, it is now important for us to attract buyers through rumors about our shop.
Once you acquire a bad name, the chances of recovering your position are very small, therefore it was essential to create a good image of our store right off the bat.
The secret is to meet the buyer with a smile. The others had no problems, however it's just that my smile was very intimidating. Yesterday the first visitor I met was shaking in fear. He himself felt that he would immediately be eaten. I was slightly wounded by such a reaction. Well, despite my personal feelings about it, I should think about the shop and correct myself.
Seeking advice from Kanami-chan, she observed that the surrounding men were not used to me, it was a blind spot in my calculations. Trying to somehow solve this problem, I used an ability which inflicted negative status effects: [Intimidation of the Weak].
Normally, this ability is used to generate an intimidating pressure on another person, however this ability can also be used on one's self. It resulted in the suppression of my own intimidating aura. Seeing this, I immediately tried it in action, the pressure on the customers decreased, and the chance to drive somebody into horror dropped significantly.
And so [Intimidation of the Weak] has become a useful ability to me. I really did not know where that might have been useful. Thus one of our problems disappeared, and we were able to continue working.
Sent to us by a nobleman, an elderly butler was interested in obtaining a discount for certain goods. The fact that his order was small was one thing, but his request for a discount was too much, I told him that our prices are fixed for everyone, thereby driving the nobles against the iron laws of society. There were also other problems.
Today, the most troublesome customer was a nobleman with well-developed muscles, and a smile that didn't match his appearance. He was a Marquis, which was quite a reputable title, and he was also one of the few supporters of the Tomboy Princess during the last coup. As a result, he became an even more significant person in the Sternbild Kingdom, surely soon to become an important person to the Tomboy Princess.
During our employment under the princess, we had met in person a couple of times, but this time he came in accompanied by three young servants. Among the servants were two [Knights] and one [Secretary], all three of them had not yet reached 20 years old. Apparently they were personally raised and trained by the Marquis, because everyone had a fairly high level.
Armed with long swords and clad in steel armor, they stood silently behind him with impartiality, both (of the Knights) had good physiques and well-trained bodies. Most likely their skills were slightly lower than the Rusty Iron Knight, but for personal guards, they were quite competent.
Ahead of the 2 knights, slightly to the side of the Marquis Kaiser was a female secretary, with a little, stiff face and assertive sharp eyes. She seemed like a cold, competent woman. At least she exerted this kind of atmosphere.
And although she concealed it well, from her movements and her dark aura, you could guess her extensive training. Head on, she certainly would have lost to a couple of knights, but by using different tactics and tricks, she was probably stronger. No matter how you looked at it, the guards of Marquis Kaiser were strong. For any assassins, beating them would be unbelievable.
Leading his subordinates, he inspected the goods hung on the wall. He asked about the history of Minister's magic items on sale and examined the suits made by leprechauns one by one. It's seemed like he was not interested in price and immediately bought them, for which I am grateful.
Over time, the two knights could not see anything in front of them due to the mountain of purchases, and even at this stage, their purchases were still ongoing. Under the weight of their newly bought items, even their sturdy hands began to tremble, due to the sheer weight and number of what they had bought.
I figured out the role of the secretary who accompanied the Marquis, who tried not to look towards the knights who were heavily breathing due to the strain. Apparently she was responsible for her master's finances, and this made her tormented with anxiety.
We brought the mountain of purchases to Marquis Kaiser's mansion for free as a bonus for purchasing such a large quantity of goods. The two knights who did not have to carry the mountain of goods were relieved as was the secretary for not having to pay for transportation.
The Marquis Kaiser was also an excellent conversationalist. Of course it's not polite to say so, but despite his appearance, he was quite knowledgeable. With an inexhaustible supply of detailed knowledge, he could casually stir-up a conversation, and clearly draw in the interest of others.
Not only as a customer, but as an ordinary friend and companion he was quite interesting. The inner motive of the Marquis was probably to lure us to their side. Of course he did it for the Tomboy Princess with a pure motive, but it was with too much zeal. Dealing with him gives me a headache. But he was not disgusted with me, moreover he was a very nice man with no hidden motives making it all the more troublesome to handle.
At times when you speak carelessly, his eyes become sharp like a snake's. Therefore it is necessary to choose words carefully with him. Because he is a seasoned aristocrat among his peers, who recently undergone a coup, Marquis Kaiser would be one of the victors.
Unfortunately, we have a huge difference in experience. I could not help but let out a sigh of relief after his departure after becoming mentally exhausted. Reviewing our detailed conversation, I decided to finish today and think of new strategies so that the service sector did not lack in character.
I like that I can cope with the conversation at the expense of the contracts, but dealing with it often increases my mental fatigue. Moreover, these fanatics make my shoulders just droop. I can barely stand the mental fatigue but I will continue.
Especially since I have another mandatory job, I decided to entrust the matter to those whom are more suitable tomorrow. This way, everyone will be engaged in what suited them best.


=======================
DAY 192

It’s the third day since the shop opened.
Today, I'm not running the shop. Rather, I’m focusing on the reconstruction of the mansion's first floor.
The chief, his disciples, and the younger members were busy working yesterday. It looks like work is proceeding faster than I expected. While it’ll take some more time before completion, looks like everything will be finished earlier than planned.
By the way, I appointed Female Samurai as the shop manager. Thanks to her appearance and cleverness, she brought in other customers such as 【Merchants】, 【Peddlers】, and even those from the other races such as the profitable elves (all men). Well, looks like she can handle it.
We need to replenish the products sold last night, but there are still quite a few in stock. There should be no problems with this.
When thinking about it, it looks like business is doing better than yesterday. While working on the reconstruction effort, I feel like I can hear someone calling me for help or something similar. But, I simply harden my heart and remain silent.
Compared to yesterday, today's different as there are more wealthy merchants and 【Alchemists】 buying goods. A lot of things were being bought and sold in one go.
The way things are done here, you set the price of your products to something less than their quality and since it’s also a sale, it would be much cheaper. You basically try and beat the prices of other shops.
I wanted to keep the shop’s prices fixed but, since there are many cases of people negotiating the prices in this world, I decided to tolerate haggling to a certain degree.
Since merchants were using their words to lower the prices, Female Samurai is having quite a hard time as well. The tenacity of veteran merchants is quite amazing, isn’t it?
Despite a few complications, the other members nearby gather together in order to do business with the merchants. Honestly, they’re not as experienced as the merchants. It's a disadvantage and we'll continue losing ground up till closing time.
Constant haggling. The battle of words continues to unfold over and over again. However, experience will be gained through this. Using my clones, I keep watch over Female Samurai and the others.
Even if the other shops are bigger, most of the products being sold here are from the previous war. There are also raw materials taken from the Kuderun Large Forest. Because of this, there’s no problem if I keep the prices low since we can still make a bit of profit, even with all the haggling. That’s what I decided based on the situation.
I think today’s experience will be a good thing for Female Samurai and the other members. However, contrary to my expectations, we still gained quite a bit of profit even though Female Samurai and the others lowered the prices.
With this kind of effort, I think its fine to reward them with something for their good work. While I was thinking about such things at night, Female Samurai and the others closed the shop. Comparing their physical and mental conditions, it looks like a lot of them are mentally tired.
After the girls and boys of Solitude finished their training, I entrust them the task of cleaning the store and replenishing the merchandise. This time, I make a trial run of the shop’s oil massage, the aroma oil to be used being the results of Dorian-san's hard work.
Once renovation of the first floor is completed, I plan to open a massage shop for aristocrats and wealthy merchants. To prevent any problems once it opens, I first plan to train the talented people who were previously working in the Farmlands.
Of course, I also plan to reward those from the shop. I’ll be responsible for Female Samurai who made the biggest contribution for the day. As for the others, it is up to them to choose their respective partner.
Somehow, Kanami-chan and Redhead didn’t have any plans to get a massage. Rather, they instead start practicing with Auro and Argento who were standing at my side.
In my world, you would need the necessary qualifications in order to administer medical treatment, and there are many laws that enforce that. There are no problems though since I am only teaching the basics and giving out suggestions.
While suitable time and experience are necessary to improve the skillfulness of one’s hands, I feel like continuing might result in the obtainment of 【Jobs】 called 【Masseuse】 and 【Massage Specialist】.
I ask Redhead about those kinds of 【Jobs】, but it seems like she has never heard of them. It’s possible that they exist, just that no one is aware of them.
There are a lot of beds lined up in one room of the mansion. Coupled with the effects of Dorian-san’s special aroma oil, the fatigue of the members from the shop is reduced considerably.
With the room temperature being kept consistent by a magic item, most of the people are sleeping soundly. Asking the members who are still awake, it looks like the massage was satisfactory even though the trainees are just beginners. With more training, they should become useful in the future. Disbanding after, I tell the trainees that if they have time, they should practice individually.


=======================
DAY 193


Right now, it's snowing in the morning.
Although it was snowing since yesterday, it’s far heavier today. There’s almost eighty centimeters of snow right now continuing to accumulate with each minute passing by.
There’s no problem in opening the shop since installed on the main door is a magic item, utilizing a wind spirit and fire spirit stone in order to clear the snow at the entrance. However, it’s unlikely that important customers will come.
With nothing important to do, most people would just stay in their homes. With the roads buried and the need to clear the roofs of snow, nothing can be done about the situation.
As for the Master Craftsman and his disciples, I’ll give them a day off due to the heavy snow. I contact them through the ear cuffs.
Today, there will only be a minimum number of sales clerks. For the members with no work, I make them gather in one place.
After all, after so long, it’s the perfect day to train them without any reservations. Also, the snow is just the right thing for this.
Places such as big plains filled with thick grass, hot deserts wracked by sand storms, wetlands, and many more exist.
The training is for them to get used to all sorts of environments. Naturally, no one’s missing.
With my abilities, I could emulate the environments in some way but not like today’s current scale.
My abilities aren’t enough. I just don’t have anything that can decrease temperature and create ice.
It might be possible by using magic, but I think that's just a big waste of time.
Anyway, after flexing a bit in the mansion, I arrange their equipment and head for the training ground.
All members wore a thick overcoat made from my thread and monster materials which repels water. At the same time, it prevents the loss of body heat from cold temperatures.
They also have leather armor on, a backpack containing weights, and their favored weapons hanging on their waist or shoulders.
With this, they are ready for the march.
Since we had to prepare a bit before heading out, the training ground is already covered in snow.
While continuing to march, we advance while using magic items and tamed pets to clear the way.
In case that’s not enough, we’ll plow the snow aside with manpower. I do wonder though if it’s alright doing things that way.
After all, I’m still uncertain about the strength of the boys and girls in Solitude. Maybe next time.
Using 【Pyrokinesis】, I get rid of the snow in the training ground. As for the resulting water, I clear it using 【Hydro Hand】. Using both, I continue to clear the training ground of snow.
The ground absorbed a lot of water and became muddy as a result, but I leave it as is. While I might be able to roughly remove most of the water, I think the muddy ground is fine as it is.
Even if I removed the water, eventually, the snow will pile up again. Since it would melt anyway when stepped on, I think it's fine as it is.
After fixing the place up, I take lead of the file of members.
Being only a warm up, I make the troops run while making sure that they keep their formation intact. They'll continue doing so until they pass a specific minimum goal.
As they run and breathe fresh air, their lungs go numb from the cold air. However, thanks to the exercise, heat is being generated internally.
Even though it’s cold, there’s no problem thanks to their continuous running. As a result, their bodies are generating something like steam.
Although the young members of Solitude aren’t running fast, they’re already tired. Still, they somehow manage to pull through.
Looking at it, it seems cruel to be making such a young group do something like this. There are some members who vomited or simply fell down after they finished running.
However, because they kept on going up till the end, they performed reasonably well.
As expected, most of them can’t move anymore and need to take a rest. As for the rest who still have energy left, I make them form groups of two. With that, they start Parabellum’s basic combat training.
They are training with real weapons so the chances of someone getting injured is quite high. Actually, I’m almost 100% sure that someone will get injured.
Although their protective gears protects them from the sharp edges, the impact will still affect the body.
If the part struck suffers damage like broken bones, then one might come close to dying.
Thankfully, it didn’t reach the point of limbs being lost through there are some close calls.
Because Seiji-kun and I healed them anyway, not one of them needs to bear the side-effects of major injuries.
It is a dangerous training method but with it, I am certain that their fighting abilities can increase very quickly.
Actually, the members’ tolerance for pain improved after the training started. They have become highly skilled in how to fight and so, their combat capability has risen rapidly.
With little correction, they might even resemble me once they grow up. After all, they will continue to grow quickly as they continue to train.
In case someone dies in the future, I don’t intend to stop. Of course, I won't let anyone die anytime soon.
After a while, the other members of Solitude recover and continue their training for another few hours.
They haven’t eaten lunch yet so they need to move their body’s slowly and carefully when in a bad situation.
Through this, they can get a grasp on how the body reacts to the cold.
After that, I then decide to fight nearly 100 members for training.
I give a handicap by limiting myself to using my bare hands.
Kanami-chan led the assault against me, starting by getting me encircled.
From their eyes, I can see that the members clearly want pay back, holding the will to attack me without any hesitation. I must say, it’s quite impressive.
In the end, after an hour, there is a mountain of bodies in the training ground.
Other than me, only Kanami-chan is left standing. The rest of the members, including Redhead, Auro, and Argento, are down.
As for the degree of injuries suffered, some actually suffered more wounds than one could normally bear.
Well, the members of Solitude are still young and inexperienced so I easily blew them away with the wind pressure caused by my fists. They only suffered light injuries though like scrapes and bruises.
After being struck by one attack, they couldn’t stand anymore.
There was also a member who was proud of his fighting strength. In the end, his arm had been easily broken. His body was dripping blood thanks to the countless lacerations he suffered. It's quite a miserable stat.
He managed to receive some of my attacks to some extent without getting knocked back managing to endure it somehow.
Thinking about it, maybe I went too far. However, since one could actually die when in real combat, this much should be fine.
Anyway, it was somewhat satisfying since it was possible to release the stress that had piled up.
The members’ condition improved as expected, having afflicted moderate wounds on my hands and legs.
While some injuries reached the bones, it was not a problem as even without using my abilities, it had already healed up, only a red mark and a lack of hair being noticeable.
While not the best, it was still satisfying. With this, today’s quite a good day.
Being in a good mood, I treat everyone using a potion mixed with my blood. I then use various high-quality meat such as from a Wyvern for a midnight meal.
The Wyvern steak’s quite good. Same goes for the steak of the [Jandal Cow]. Also the [Benjal Bird] roast.
They were all delicious, probably because all the creatures are quite high in terms of level. The Wyvern meat is the best of all.
The juices of the meat which burst unto the tongue, the texture that melts when put in the mouth, it’s really great.
Just for a bit, if there’s an opportunity to hunt, I’d like to try the other kinds of Dragon Meat other than the Jadar Wyvern.
Rather, maybe I should go and challenge the Demon’s Age of the Gods Dungeon by myself.
When I get some free time, I intent to do so.



=======================
DAY 194

It was snowing again today. Truthfully, it snowed much less than yesterday. There were also strong winds blowing, which led to banging sounds on the windows. Trees were bending in the wind, scattering the accumulated snow on them.
Such a storm mercilessly took away the remnants of heat from the body of anyone who dared to go outside. The chances of getting frostbite were increased significantly compared to yesterday. In my current state, I wouldn’t be hurt, but I wanted to lock myself in the warmth of my house. A warm fireplace is the best. I like to sit and bask in the dancing flames in the hearth.
Although in the hot springs, it was warm and it felt better, once you are within it’s warm grasp, you need an incredible amount of willpower to get out. A natural hot spring of the heavens. Once there, the body leaves from the comfort of the soul.
Ahh… I already want to go back to the base and have a good breakfast surrounded by children and Kanami-chan, I thought about it. But then, I had a sudden idea. What if, you make something like a taxi, which will work without rest and bring citizens of the city to their destination? If we were to do this, it would earn us a good amount of money.
One of my trump cards are the wagon 【Skeleton Centipede】 made of bone, designed from 【Lesser Summoning: Undead】 and with 【Skeleton Combination】 【Undead Chimera】. Comparing it with a simple horse, it is unmatched in speed, comfort and it did not need rest. Thus, I wish to easily create a whole bunch of them and the cost of production will not hinder us. It would complete almost all transportation dreams.
Among the shortcomings, under the sunlight they can easily turn into smoke. But, this disadvantage can be overcome by covering it with my clones, and by means of a metal frame. In fact, the Tomboy Princess has asked me to lend them a couple, but I refused, because I wanted to benefit as much as possible to maintain the secret method of their creation.
Now I have made something for few, or more, precisely the vehicle for 4 people in the likeness of a taxi. The operation of the vehicle would be much cheaper than conventional carts, and I planned to also make the fares lower. And because of the low cost, and how it drives nice and fast, it will certainly attract customers.
This will be a stimulus for increasing the economic activities, which in the cold season is usually “Frozen”. And if it does stimulate activity, then there is a great chance that we will have an increased amount of customers. If this transport works in everyday life, the income from it will be a good increase for us.
It is not clear whether everything will go as planned, but from an economic point of view, the idea does not look bad. Fortunately, even if it fails, we will not lose anything.
Nobody knows what to say about it in the matter of laws of the Sternbild Kingdom. If there were bans on that matter, we would be found guilty before even knowing it. Due to the high possibility of this, you need to dig into a lot of these laws. On this subject, I decided to contact Tomboy Princess. It has been decided and will do.
Thus, finished with breakfast, I went to the Royal Palace for a meeting with Tomboy Princess, to tell her about my new idea. Of course, I could take a walk from the mansion to the Royal Palace and turn into snow demon, but I decided to first, start mass production of a smaller version of the wagon of the 【Skeleton Centipede】.
I have all the materials in the glove box, and because of preparation did not take a lot of time, not even an hour has passed before I had finished creating it.
The new creation is called 【Skeleton Spider】. In contrast to the long bones of the body of the 【Skeleton Centipede】 capable of carrying a lot of cargo and passengers, it is designed to carry a small number of passengers. It has a small body and had a lower capacity, but the four spaces within it, gives all the comfort to stay inside even if there were four passengers (excluding the driver), and the roof could carry a surprising amount of things.
Even though it is significantly inferior to the parameters of the hundreds of bones, 【Skeleton Spider】 had all the necessary skills. The problem was in appearance. Imitating fashion, I made it look like a four-wheeled box, and this time, in front of the driver’s seat, which was located ahead, I had enchanted my abilities to make a bucked raking snow. This made it so that it looked nothing like the 【Skeleton Spider】 that was initially created. The bones were encased in a corrosion-resistant metal, after that, it no longer looked like a strangely shaped steel trailer.
There was a high probability that the passengers will be interested in the traction vehicle, but I have prepared an excuse that it is working by force magic items.
While they may not dismantle it, I think that deception will still take place. The interior was decorated with a dense fabric of my webs, as well as various trees growing in the great forest. Using absorbing vibration and shock, the tree species processed by the 【Body Fluid Control】 are added on top of the dense layer of my web. Another layer of wood is then deposited in the interior.
Thus, the inside was very warm and comfortable, and was not able to feel even the smallest shaking due to motion. Certainly not matching the wagon 【Skeleton Centipede】, the 【Skeleton Spider】 still offers good comfort while riding. Thus the bone spider was completed.
With the final prototype, I got to the royal castle located in the amber palace. Gates. Fortunately, I made an appointment in advance, so I was easily let inside. Sipping expensive tea while waiting, Tomboy Princess and Boy Knight finally came.
As usual, she looked cheerful when exchanging the usual greetings. The interior of the palace after the coup, was restored in a hurry, but some things still has traces of the coup and other things still needed time to remove.
After finishing a non-binding contract, we went to the purpose of the visit, the 【Skeleton Spider】. The response was just spot on from the Tomboy Princess.
The Royal Capital was still the center of the Sternbild Kingdom, and because the area is occupied considerably, traveling along it was quite problematic. To deal with it, they now allowed street carts, but their number was surprisingly small.
Although it was affected by many interests, horse carts were filled with various difficulties, but as a result of what happened recently in the coup, there was still no preparation that had been done, and besides what it is snowing like this, most carts were just idle.
Now it was time to go on stage with the 【Skeleton Spider】. Their ability was not only to move on the streets littered with drifts of snow, but also move with ease even in the icy cold snow storm, and was most importantly, very cheap. It could be amazing for the citizens of the capital. So the troublesome paper works went to the Tomboy Princess, and while the Sternbild Kingdom will not get a direct profit from this venture, it was for the sake of increasing the economic activities of the citizens, and thus increasing the tax base.
Like I said, let’s live together for common prosperity. Although her answer sounded really like “she will decide when she wants to,” the issue has almost been solved, and she said it’s because she wanted a ride. Looking at her, full of energy, typical for her age, a soft smile appeared on my face. Taking the 【Skeleton Spider】 for a roll herself, she really liked it.
“Well, if the wagon 【Skeleton Centipede】 does not work, because it can be?” she asked.
Well, so be it, I had to give her that which came. After that we decided how many should be prepared, which route they will move up to where, and other minor details. I wanted to continue to maintain a good relationship with the Tomboy Princess. At the end of the affairs, I went back into the house and immediately started the mass production of [Skeleton Spiders】. Having finished the design, the manufacturing process has been to some extent, adjusted. The frame and the interior was entrusted to my comrades, thus reducing the manufacturing time.



=======================
DAY 195

There was not much change today, it is still snowing. The Royal Capital is dyed in white and people are seen here and there working hard ploughing snow outside.
Meanwhile, a [Skeleton Spider] is running through the Royal Capital. I stick a poster advertising the store on the body while testing it at full speed and clearing the snow. While riding through the streets, the snow that touches the snowplow board, installed in front of the body, melts immediately and changes it into water allowing the previously-buried ground to be seen. The water from the melted snow flows down to the drainage installed beside the road and further dissolves snow on the way. The width of the ground gradually extended and there was a definite road made.
As a [Skeleton Centipede] was so noticeable, a [Skeleton Spider] also stands out. The peculiar face was standing out, but because of its daring appearance it was able to clear the snow. There are people appearing on the road, now cleared of snow, whispering “What’s going on?”
While confirming a small problem when it operates, I rode the skeleton spider with Auro and Argento. If asked why, it is because recently they did not mind the training or the shop given that they wanted to spend time testing the skeleton spider with their father. There needs to be a physical connection between parent and child.
The two children relish running around the Royal Capital on the [Skeleton Centipede] due to the different scenery. Well, it isn’t a bad day. However, the trial run was over in the morning and I worked on various things in the afternoon. I seem to be able to reach the mass production target numbers of the [Skeleton Spiders] somehow.



=======================
DAY 196

The opening sales of our store ends today.
Since it is the last day, I decided to help out in the store.
But first, I released 30 more finished products of [Skeleton Spiders]. Our companions were dressed in appropriate uniforms in the driver’s seat moving in their predetermined route.
They were moving on the main roads of the Royal Capital, as well as relatively busy areas. Innumerable [Skeleton Spiders] roamed the streets turning any snow they touch into water.
By doing so, more people are going outside, which, increased the number of citizens who saw the ads on the sides of the [Skeleton Spiders].
Thus, while clearing the streets of snow, we can successfully continue to increase the number of customers we get at a steady pace through advertisement.
By the way, given the fact that I've already arranged to pay the Tomboy Princess a lending fee for this advertisement, I'm looking forward to receiving requests from the merchants that stopped what they were doing to look at the advertisement.
Well, even though I don’t have any immediate expectations, I do expect it to pay off in the future.
When we’ve roughly finished clearing the streets of snow, people began to emerge on the streets once again.
Normally, the Royal Capital that was slightly quiet due to heavy snow, but now, I feel that the liveliness of the town has returned again.
I think this is good, though slightly unexpected.
We simply had more guests. There are various reasons.
Because it was the last day of the sale, meaning, the goods were even cheaper, the store becoming more famous in the Royal Capital over these few days, the roads being cleared of snow and the advertisement stuck to the [Skeleton Spider], business was blooming.
Anyways, there are a lot of customers. No, it is a good thing. Not closing a newly opened store that is, it can lead to profit.
However, it is very busy today. It may get easier once we get accustomed to it, regrettably, we are still inexperienced.
Doing this amount of work without stop until the evening, caused our shoulders to get stiff.
I would say, rather than tired, it was more stressful serving the customers.



=======================
DAY 197

Today, the group members stayed in the Royal Capital. There is not much to talk about.
Even after the sales, customers still came to the shop, and the reconstruction of the ground floor is still underway.
Snow is still falling and, Oh yeah, from today onwards, the 【Skeleton Spiders】 will be a full-scale business.
That's the story today, because there is not many things to talk about.
So, I think I will pay more attention to the other members. More precisely, the main group that remained at the base.
First, the Female Knight.
The Female Knight offered her sword of loyalty to me, along with other people caught in the same period of time such as, clergies and the red fencer, who are currently guarding the base in the Kuduren Large Forest.
The Female Knight participated in the recent battle during the coup by hiding her identity behind a mask, and she quietly killed several dozen officers, contributing to the battle.
Because she went back to the base on the tourist route, she was able to visit different cities.
Along the way, there seemed to have been requests for Parabellum. I still don’t know where in the Sternbild Kingdom our true identity was found out, but it is to be expected.
I only chose members that can accomplish the requests to accompany me and fortunately, the Female Knight was the daughter of a high noble family and presumed dead during the previous war with the elves.
But the chances that someone might recognize her were not equal to zero, therefore, the Female Knight’s group had to keep their sightseeing within boundaries and returned to the base quickly.
Recently, the Female Knight strolls in the vast forest, either alone or accompanied by her subordinates, collecting a great variety of materials.
Currently, the forest is vast, gradually spreading, has more vitality than before and is producing even more Spirit Stones with better quality. Their superior quality also produces significantly better materials. This is probably caused by the hot spring.
To know where good materials are, information is important. While Female Knight and her subordinates were collecting materials, they created an easily understood map, for which, I am grateful.
Once she gets home, I intend to give her the dress which is an heritage artifact from the 【God of hesitation?】 obtained from an 【Age of Gods】 Dungeon.
As for the other members, is liquor and sake alright?
A certain Kobold that evolved from a Kobold Footman to a Kobold Samurai went into a derivation dungeon in the Labyrinth City.
He gathered people who did not play an active role in the former war and commanded them to work diligently to raise their levels and gather magical items.
If they are able to gain a certain amount of goods, I plan on giving him a familiar Falaise Eagle.
Even though I did not expect much from them, the dungeon capture speed was faster than I expected, which probably is because of the strong loyalty of the Kobold Samurai that took command.
Unfortunately, during the conquest, a couple of group members died, which immediately made clear that this dungeon was dangerous and the dangers of the dungeon only increase as you progress. Such things will happen no matter how much you note it.
As I pray that the dead souls may rest in peace, I do not blame Akita (the kobold samurai's name) for the casualties.
As for what happened, Akita naturally did as much as possible, but the abilities of the now deceased comrades was just insufficient.
The magical items were generally, gathered smoothly. The preparation for creating a branch in the [Labyrinth City] Purgatory is now underway.
It is convenient to open a branch in the [Labyrinth City] Purgatory, even though the head office has been opened in the capital, since my favorite business is in the Labyrinth City, so it's importance is high.
After becoming a kobold samurai, his intelligence is much higher compared to when he was a kobold footman. As long as his loyalty doesn’t make him act reckless, he will be very reliable.
There are many subordinates who will try desperately to accomplish their mission if I order, which really saves me the trouble.
I wonder if I should award Akita. Occasionally, there are famous swords that flow in from the east and I think those will be a good reward for Akita.
I wish Minokichi and Oniwaka’s group good luck as they energetically kill monsters.
Because currently, they are not diving in the dungeons within Purgatory, but instead, they're hunting monsters in the natural danger zone.
Even though it is more likely to encounter monsters in the labyrinth, in nature, there are more variety of monsters.
They cannot afford to be caught off-guard because if they do, they’ll face a powerful counterattack.
The reason that they might be caught off-guard is because unlike the labyrinth, the strength of the natural monsters are not uniform.
The strongest monster of the danger zone is the 【Wisdom Serpent/Dragon】 which is an unexpected existence because it is humongous and strong even by the standards of 【Giants】.
Most often, monsters of such level only exist in the depth of the countless unexplored mountains, but there are exceptions such as the one that lives in a waterfall near Mason Village. Minokichi is lucky that his group has still not encountered one yet.
There is not enough time to go to such depths, and at the place they are at now, they’re only able to meet bosses on the levels of the Red Bear or Jade Eagle.
No, all boss class monsters are formidable enemies, but since the two boss class examples used, Red Bear and Jade Eagle, both have 【Divine Protection】, it makes them even more frightening than usual monsters.
However, considering Asue and Minokichi’s strength and Minokichi’s good luck, the threat level is lowered considerably.
Knowing that they will help when it is needed, I hope that the next time I meet Oniwaka, he will have grown to twice his current size.
Possibly, he might even evolve. Impatiently, I wait for them to bring back the materials and corpses that they have gathered.
Avenger, Rusty Iron Knight, and Scarface’s company are engaged in numerous requests. The requests mainly consists of eliminating thieves and bandits or subjugating dangerous monsters, and they ordered the requests by giving the existences that attack villages and towns priority.
Most likely, such missions were chosen by Avenger because they reminded him of his ruined hometown. The appearance of Avenger challenging requests was a bloodcurdling sight.
Combined with the fact that he is wearing a mask of a demon to hide his identity, it made people want to call him a human demon. Upon encountering him, bandits, thieves or dangerous monsters were all instantly killed in the blink of an eye and nobody would survive.
Accurate information was collected by my clones and given to Avenger, so he immediately understood the problem without wasting time and he immediately solves it, which helps him earn the trust of the clients quickly.
Even though they only profit a small change of a few silver coins (around tens of thousands of yen) per request currently, in the future, they will have gained a great deal of trust and good reputation, so I want Avenger to do his best from now on.
If I am not mistaken, Avenger has incidentally not met 【Sub-cast】characters yet and I pray for the meeting with, 【Witch of Youkai Flame】, 【Cavalry Defender】, 【Usurper】, and 【Holy Woman of Compassion】.
Because 【Witch of Youkai Flame】 and 【Holy Woman of Compassion】 have already shown awakening among the four people, I thought that their encounter would be more likely if I sent Avenger on requests.
Personally, I think that it is alright as it is because Avenger’s increase in combat strength is already of great benefit to Parabellum, but Avenger’s area of activity might have to expand. ED: larger area of activity for chances of meeting subsidiary characters.
I feel that, overall, it is generally favorable, and the future of Parabellum looks very bright. Because night came, I went to sleep.

【World Psalms 【Legend of the Black Eclipse Demon】, 【Sub-cast】 character Seiji has ranked up.】
【Since condition "1" 【Rank Up】 has been cleared, title 【Merciful Father’s Light of Salvation】 has been awarded.】
【World Psalms 【Legend of the Black Eclipse Demon】, 【Sub-cast】 character Gurufu has ranked up.】
【Since condition "1" 【Rank Up】 has been cleared, title 【Rotting Guide of Severe Wickedness】 has been awarded.】

I was just thinking that it was time to contact her, but then again, I decided sleeping was more important. I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
As for Gurufu-chan, don't joke about her "rotting one".



=======================
DAY 198


Because there was an announcement in my head yesterday, I contacted two demons to confirm the information.
Obviously, the two demons were Seiji-kun and Gurufu-chan.
Seiji-kun had Ranked Up from [Half-Saint Lord] to [Saint Lord (Variant)].
The reason he became a variant was due to [Demigod of Love’s Divine Protection], and he grew up a little becoming more adult-like. His current appearance resembles that of an unhappy handsome man.
Beside the specialties of his class, his physical abilities is now higher than the average human, but it is still considered unreliable. It is highly likely that he will lose in terms of physical prowess to humans with the job [Knight].
Because his healing, defensive abilities, and his internal mana supply’s had grown remarkably, I intend to make him work even harder in the future.
Seiji-kun had gained an interesting ability, which allows him to manifest weapons from his Ogre Orbs.
He is able to manifest a rustic silver mace as well as a silver shield with a small amount of thin golden lines.
The shield is the size of a round buckler with a reflective light enveloping the surface, which could expand its range based on Seiji-kun’s will.
He did not have this ability before, and after investigations, it seems that it can become as big as Minokichi-kun’s fortress shield. Moreover, it was much lighter.
This allowing Seiji-kun to not only protect himself, but also his comrades.
As for Seiji-kun’s healing abilities, I think it is even stronger than his defending abilities.
As for the mace’s ability, I would say it’s even more interesting.
Seiji-kun’s mace is a considerably heavy blunt weapon, which weighs about 10 kilograms, and is a lot stronger than usual maces because it’s manifested from ogre orbs.
And when he strikes an ally using the mace, the health recovered by the ally will be proportional to the damage that was suppose to be dealt by the mace.
Of course the mace can also be used against enemies and deal blows that can kill them, but beating an injured ally up with a mace to heal them doesn’t look right.
Even though the blow does not seem to cause pain, naturally, the impact is still there.
Also, hitting the head of an ally with wounds all over his body will cure his wounds. This makes sense because a blow that is fatal based on nature’s law will be turned into health by Seiji-kun’s mace which heals the exact amount of damage that it deals.
Yeah, I don’t think this looks right.
As for Gurufu-chan, she ranked up from Ghoul into a Fimerotto variant.
Similar to when she was a Ghoul, she still has pale lifeless skin and black hair, and the black tattoo has not changed, but her face became even more beautiful and her structure has become more elegant to the point where she seems like a doll.
She even gained a living body armor which looks like a clean white dress with high heel shoes, which made her look like the daughter of a high class family, it suits her well.
She would have no problem wearing it to a ball. Actually, I think it would make her very popular.
In fact, she could easily compete for the top 6 most beautiful woman in Parabellum, if not for the rotting flesh and nature of her class.
By the way, [how is Gurufu-chan? The misfortune brought by her ability is nothing to laugh at] [She’s a beautiful woman when she’s silent… however, when she’s silent, those eyes are… unpleasant] [I’m serious, her hobby is relatively lethal] [She’s rotten], and such were spoken between other members.
The other members aren’t just frightened by her mentality, but also because her race gives her the ability to instantly corrode everything she comes into contact with organic or inorganic unconsciously.
Should I pull some strings soon and gather people who are similar to her or should I just leave her alone and not interfere because it’s a personal preference? This is a problem.
As for the names, not changing Seiji-kun's name should be fine.
But how should Gurufu-chan’s name be changed?
Furokusa … No, she can’t go to the hot springs easily because the inside of the hot spring itself will rot. (Furo means hot spring so this name doesn’t work)
I’m troubled. I’m very troubled. I’m really troubled about what Gurufu-chan’s new name should be.
How about iroirokusatta, meaning a variety of rot. Or possibly, Kusatta iro meaning the color of rotten flesh. Yeah, I think this one’s acceptable.
However, why did I decide on naming her after her color making it Irokusa-chan.
I can’t help but sigh instinctively, because when I have to go meet somebody who’s facial expression shows that their having wild delusions to negotiate about their name, I can’t help but feels miserable.
Anyways, I need to prepare gifts to celebrate their rank up.
Should I make their celebration even more luxurious because there will be two more demons from the [8 Demon Generals] that have ranked up.
Currently, only 7 of them have ranked up.
Minokichi-kun [Emperor of Shimmering Axe]
Kanami-chan [Empress of Ice Kingdom]
Asue-chan [Underground Thunder Hammer]
Supesei-san [Monk of the Destroyed Star]
Burasato-san [Searing Rusty Sword]
Seiji-kun [Merciful Father’s Light of Salvation]
Gurufu-chan [Rotting Guide of Severe Wickedness]
Who’s the last one again?
So far, 8 Demon Generals are only comprised of the demons with the same origin.
As for the last member, I can only come up with one person who I’ve been acquaintances with since the [Goblin Community]. The probability of the last one being Dodome-chan is the highest, Otherwise it is the 5 Ogre squadron.
It might be Dodome-chan because she seems to be strong, but it might also be the 5 Ogre squadron and they can be treated as one demon.
As it is, the 5 Ogre squadron gives off the feeling that they only move as one.
Well, I’ll be patient wait a bit more for it to come to light. Since the amount of experience they collect are demonstrated through their levels, I’ll find out soon enough.
This will be very enjoyable.
Today’s synthesis results:
[Sub-Dragon Scale Refinement] + [Solid Dragon Scale Armour] + [Hard Dense Chitin Shell] + [Sharpening Shark Skin] + [Impenetrable Black Armored Skin] = [Black Demon’s Laminated Dragon Armor]


=======================
DAY 199

Today is the first holiday after a long time.
Even though I said it’s a holiday, the store is still open so everyone including the Female Samurai are still working, but because they work on shifts now, they are able to take breaks.
The same members are in charge of the [Skeleton Spiders], and even though they don’t have a day off, they are also working on shifts, so that everyone has time off.
They each choose to spend their free time differently.
Some decided to train themselves as usual, while others decided to leave the Royal Capital on [Skeleton Spiders]. There are even people who are doing side jobs and studying.
By the way, I decided to go alone to the Labyrinth City Aquarium.
Of course, I challenged the [Age of Gods] dungeon called [Aquarium Forlia] again.
Even though last time there was not enough time and I stopped at the first floor, I decided that I’m going to go to the deepest part this time even if it takes a few days.
I can give out instructions through the ear cuffs to the reliable Kanami-chan who I left behind.
Even if something happens and I can’t go immediately, Kanami-chan is there so I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Because I distributed most of the innumerable detailed work to my subordinates, there isn’t a lot of work that has to be completed by me.
I use the members who usually are useful, so that I can comfort myself, and I decided to take this time to challenge the [Age of Gods] dungeon alone since the construction system I set up is progressing without delay.
Challenging it this way, is just in order to rid myself from the dissatisfaction of only being able to eat one person who is of the [Hero] class during the coup.
Even with the first-rate water hero meat right in front of me, I had to endure not eating him so that he could grow, but I don’t need to hold back here.
After I finished preparing my equipment in the labyrinth town, I dived straight into the 【Aquarium・Forlia】 dungeon.
Like before, the decorations in the long and wide passages makes it look like the interior of a sacred temple with the floor submerged in cold ankle-deep water.
Overall, the place gives off a majestic atmosphere, that makes it feel difficult to invade.
The labyrinth gives off a pure and innocent feel, which makes it seem like a work of art.
I advance alone, inside.
While I’m casually advancing with a carefree attitude, dungeon monsters come flying at me without making a sound from the shadows that I just passed in the dungeon.
Like before, I knocked down the Iolite Elementals. The Iolite Elementals look like blue round orbs clad in running water which makes them look like flying slimes.
Should I destroy the nucleus, scoop it out or can I kill it by just stripping off the running water covering it. The features are very similar to that of a slime.
However, Iolite Elementals clearly win in terms of the danger involved in fighting one.
It does not only have higher movement speed and physical strength, but it can also use ice magic up to the third rank as easily as breathing.
The magic it uses is dangerous enough that the first shot it fires is likely to kill people.
I catch the nucleus of the Iolite Elementals with my silver arm before it is able to do anything.
The moment I pull out the blue round orb from the surrounding water, the water that is approximately 8cm in diameter, loses its binding force and falls to the ground, where it merges with the water on the floor.
After seeing it, I ate the nucleus I caught.
The nucleus’ texture and taste was just like a piece of slightly sweet candy. It might work well as a snack.
Ability gained: [Purple-Blue Iolite Liquid].
Together with the ones I previously ate, I seem to have finally gotten a new ability.
Because I killed 23 of them last time and ate them after putting them in the item box, it seems the 24th gave me an ability.
It seems learning can be done quicker than expected, I’m relieved. I immediately used it to see what it does.
Apparently, [Purple-Blue Iolite Liquid] allows the user to cover themselves with flowing water just like the Iolite Elementals.
The running water is like an armor that clings to the surface of my body when I use it and it seems to have very high tolerance against fire attacks. On the other hand, it seems to be weak against lightning attacks, but it still seems to be a useful ability.
Currently, I’m in a good mood, so I went to hunt Armored Scissors which possess a very hard carcass and Dirotonis which is a gigantic fish in succession.
I didn’t stay on the first floor for that long, because I found the path to the second floor last time I came to the dungeon.
After I found some treasure chests along the way and opened them, one-sidedly hunted a great number of dungeon monsters, avoided some powerful traps and passed other adventurer parties, not even one hour had passed.
By the way, the structure of the second floor is no different from the first floor.
The corridor of the second floor is a bit bigger than the one in the first floor and there are several monsters that didn’t appear on the first floor that appeared here.
Water Anacondas are anacondas about 9 meters long and 30 centimeters wide, their bodies also release fluids that act as lubricants.
Evil Battle Frogman have muscular human bodies and exceed 2 meters in height. They have the head of a frog, webbed feet and carry a trident and a fishing net.
Mizumoridori are light blue birds that fly at high speed. They have harpoon-like beaks and sharp claws. They don’t appear in passages, but instead in small rooms and they are about 60 centimeters long.
These are the main monsters in the dungeon because they are the ones that appear most often and give off a dangerous feel. There are also others such as devil insects and reptiles.
Although the monsters are larger and stronger than normal ones because they’re strengthened by the dungeon, I can still approximately kill them with a single blow and by overlapping abilities. They’re level is not high enough to have a chance to kill me.
Nevertheless, capturing this dungeon is certainly going to be difficult.
The chance of being attacked here is higher than in [Vesper Cave]; it is also more time and energy consuming to kill the monsters with a single blow.
The classic pitfall trap, where a lot of Water Anacondas gather, makes the dungeon especially difficult to capture. It’s hard to spot because of its simplicity and the fact that once you’ve fallen in, it’s normally impossible to get out.
In the first place, once a person falls in, the Water Anacondas immediately use their bodies to strangle and crush the person and due to the pit being covered by the lubricant made by the [Water Anaconda], climbing out is difficult as well.
I personally may manage to ward off the Water Anacondas if I equip solid armor over my whole body, but getting out of the pit is, in and of itself, another problem.
By the way, when I stealthily looked around a corner of the passage, I witnessed the state of a party of adventurers who got stuck in a pit.
The unfortunate party members seem to have all fallen into the several meters deep square pit and they did not have the ability to get out.
I only observed and did not help them because whatever happens in the dungeon is your own responsibility. The group of 5 that fell into the pit were all strangled to death by countless [Water Anacondas].
The ones in the back lines immediately had their bones and equipment crushed, but the vanguard who wore magical armor from head to toe was able to hang in there for a while, but was also slowly crushed to death
The pit swallowed the five corpses whole and slowly covered itself again. It was slowly and carefully waiting for the next victims.
After seeing that, I intentionally walked into the pitfall and fell too.
I could not miss the opportunity of hunting the high concentration of [Water Anacondas].
Normally, It would be a fight where I would be desperately struggling, but due to [Electromaster] spreading through the anaconda’s body fluids, I was able to catch them all at once. Afterwards, I decided to solely eat them starting from the head.
The power of [Electromaster] drastically raised the power of my lightning strike, but unexpectedly, the Water Anacondas did not instantly die. However, since I was able to eat them alive, I guess the results are acceptable.
It’s a good thing that they’re tasty alive.

Ability learned: [Lubricant Body Fluids]
Ability learned: [Water Calling Snake]

Since I already got two new abilities, I decided to keep the remaining [Water Anacondas] as souvenirs.
[Lubricant Body Fluids] is similar to [Self Body-Fluid Control], but it had a better effect when I tested it with simple substances. The smooth skin is able to completely ward off attacks to a great extent.
Even if I get restrained by an enemy, I can very likely easily slip out.
Honestly, I don’t think I really need it, since I can transform my body, but it might be useful for surprising enemies.
[Water Calling Snake], simply put, is like dowsing. Its effect seems to be finding nearby bodies of water.
It is necessary for [Water Anaconda] to push water outside of its body, so it is likely that they use this ability for replenishing and maintaining its water supply.
Even though it has limited uses, it's a very convenient ability in many situations, since it'll be able to help me find hidden water even in the desert.
I collected the accessories from the bodies of the dead adventurers, and I jumped out of the hole excited.
Because their dead bodies were already eaten by the dungeon, I was really grateful for the items.
Because I fell into the hole after the [Water Anacondas] ate their body, only an index finger was left at the bottom of the pitfall.
I feel I have advanced quite smoothly while capturing the dungeon.
I had a harder time finding the stairs to go down to the next floor because this dungeon is wider than the derivation dungeon, but I somehow managed to get down to the 5th floor in one day. I arrived in the safety zone just before the large room in the deepest part of the fifth floor which is where the boss awaits.
After having the dungeon monsters as a midnight snack, I decided to challenge the boss tomorrow morning.
In order to fight it tomorrow morning, I went to sleep early to get enough rest.
Because I took the [Skeleton Centipede] out from my item box, I was able to get a good night's sleep in the chilly cave.



=======================
DAY 200

Maybe this is a bit sudden, but before I fight the sub-boss of the dungeon, I will discuss the team of 5 Ogres. The team of 5 Ogres, is made up of the former goblins who decided to attack me in the middle of the night, but were quickly repulsed and then worked as my slaves. On that day, they attacked me with good intentions for the sake of their starving comrades. In short, they tried to make me who knows how to get food, share it with the starving.
That is indirectly trying to save the weak. This desire in goblins is very unusual. It is the nature of goblins to usually submit to the stronger and oppress those who are weaker.
They certainly can not be called renegades, but just the 5 of them gathered in one place, were united by one goal. For the team of 5 Ogres, villains and enemies, no matter how much they begged for mercy, were killed without hesitation. On this occasion they did not get upset, but if they see the danger threatened comrades or innocent women and children, and they could not save them all, the 5 get highly upset about this.
Ogres that act like humans are quite unique, well yes it can be attributed to their individuality. Personally for me, I do not think it's bad.
First of all, thanks to such a personality, they enjoyed great confidence in the group, as well as working hard on their abilities, thus becoming my strength.
The team of 5 Ogres were stationed at the border of the Sternbild Kingdom and the Kirika Empire. Today, they saved an armed group attacked by the Orcs, saving the daughter of a Count in the Kirika Empire. They could not pass without helping, and gallantly rush to attack the Orcs.
Of course, the Count's daughter was accompanied by a detachment of muscular guards. They delayed and significantly reduced the enemy's numbers, the former among the Orcs, a representative of the next Rank Up, [Fanged Orc Mage]. Against the main force composed of Orcs, the team of 5 Ogres joined the battle. Against such an enemy, it was a massacre.
There appeared to them like the daughter of Count saved because they took the mission to support, benefit greatly depleted squad of guards is not credible. At the moment, accompanying the Count's daughter, they go deeper into the Sternbild Kingdom.
Apparently the daughter of Count was traveling incognito, carrying documents from Tomboy Princess. I think it smells like a small business issues, but oh well. Kanami is in charge of charging the fees for our service.
Okay, back to business. Having finished breakfast, I opened the door of the room in which I was waiting for the boss.
Here, on the fifth floor, was a broad, square-shaped room, with walls measuring about 100 meters. The walls were decorated as well as the corridors, in the likeness of the temple, and the air was as pure. If there were a race of undead monsters, probably from just one ounce of this air, they would get damage, because the air was so clean.
For testing, I used [Lesser Summoning: Undead]. The Black Skeleton summoned almost immediately turned into smoke.
On the ceiling of this room was countless faces of the gods. In the middle were five painted pillars of the [Great Gods], with blue, red, white, yellow and black patterns. Among them, the black color was probably the [Great God of Origin and End].
It is not clear if it was a male or female person holding a spear in their hand of misfortunes. Probably because of the protection obtained from him, he looks familiar to me despite it being the first time looking at him, and there is a feeling of nostalgia.
While I was falling into a stupor watching him from the room, located in the center was gushing out massive amounts of water. It quickly enveloped the entire floor of the huge room, and reaching as far as my legs until it stopped.
The water was unusually cold. Just one step separated me from becoming ice.
Just standing in her aura, my energy leaves the body. There it appeared, throwing water, a horn shaped like a wave on the surface of it there was a huge whale's head, and then there was a huge body with eight legs. Long, like a snake's tail hit the water. Four huge red eyes, tirelessly watching its surroundings.
The entire body is covered with massive skin ultramarine color with metallic sheen. A huge monster 15 meters in length a height of 7 meters, a width of 5 meters, the boss of the fifth floor Warpidron.
The basic ways to attack, lightning attacks and horn, issued from a huge whale mouth water waves released from the hole in his head under tremendous pressure that can cut steel, water jets, a quick tug on the enemy, using its 8 feet, by the movement of the long tail water funnel. Usually this boss fought a whole group, since he is more of a feeble outcome boss of the dungeon.
Especially since there is water to the knee, the terrain advantage is to Warpidron's favor. For the enemy water interfere with the movement, and for the maritime establishment, it has not been a hindrance. Moreover, the more water it was, the better to reveal his power.
I am standing in front of him in my numb head. So I felt the presence of a strong opponent. At the same time I woke up the appetite. Pure desire to eat the whole thing.
Because there is no need to suppress their very thirsty, took out the glove box halberd, and raising a roar, I started to dance battle.

[Dungeon boss [Warpidron] successfully eliminated]
[Achiever [Yatendouji] recognized the right of further progress, continue to the boss floor [Warpidron] will be available with a choice of promotion without a fight]
[Achiever [Yatendouji] as a bonus for the first elimination of the boss will be sent a box of treasure [Storm Horn of the Great Whale]]
[Achiever [Yatendouji] as a bonus for [Solo Kill] will be sent rare ability [Water Pump]]   
After about 20 minutes. That's still not receded in the water, lay in front of me a huge box with treasures and bird Warpidron.
Its creation was used not only gold, silver and precious stones, and mithril and rare magical metals, and it was done as a work of art. Chances are, even if Blacksmith-san and the dwarves work on this, they will be in difficulty.
So great has been made this box of treasures [Storm Horn of the Great Whale].
We see the same type of thing that appeared for the performance of local history, the random box of treasures [Super]. Inside the boxes were random magic items, gold and silver, for which we have not got enough money.
In the huge treasure box is [Great Whale's Horn of Storms]. I decided to learn to return, leaving the fun for later, immediately remove it in the glove box. Now we have Warpidron carcass. The horn was uprooted. Because of the efforts on the skull, the eyes of all four climbs.
Giant thick and 8 feet were all cut off, the body was a huge cut from which spilled bodies, long tail was covered in wounds.
It looked like the remains of Warpidron. For once, I met a strong opponent, and I decided not to use strong combination abilities. Thus, the elimination took more time than expected.
The main reason was the incredible life force, is not addictive deep wounds almost instantaneously.
At the time when I lost my living hand, I did a little panicked. As expected from the boss level at the moment when I relaxed immediately counterattacked. True tasted his flesh I immediately recover the lost hand no problem.
Back to our meat. Let's start with perhaps the horn. The great horn was much better than expected, simply more delicious.
If I had not previously tried the meat, I probably would have cried, "yummy".

Ability [Carrying Lightning Horn] learned
Now, from my 3 horns I can hit with lightning. At the time of application of the flash is quite bright that prevents the review, but its power is very high. Also it can be used without preparation because very convenient capacity. And if you use it with [Electromaster] can further increase capacity.
Then I tried to eat the brain.
He was crushed by the floor condition, but one bite all over my body broke its mouthwatering taste. It was like a wave swept the language of the body. At the same time, like a soup, it was easy to eat, so I got him on the machine to itself.
Then I took a bite of the skull, which was tough as metal. But in fact it grew lightning horn because he had a refreshing salty taste, which woke up the appetite even more. Covering the skull, meat and fat, the taste was better grade of beef and melted directly on the tongue. Warpidron's meat was uniquely delicious.

Ability learned: [Whale's Whistle Voice]
Ability learned: [Battle Cry]

As expected from the interim boss. With strengthening of the dungeon, the biological parameters of its kind above me.
And eating is the quantity and quality, it was pretty easy to get the ability, because I am happy. Of course, I could eat up the remains and alone, but decided to bring them as a souvenir for all.
Maybe it will improve the mood Kanami-chan, and we must treat children. All will surely be welcome.
Because had to stop himself from his desire to finish it immediately, removing the remains in the glove box before they are absorbed by the dungeon, I went to a huge gate leading out of the room. Before the battle, I did not notice it, but after the victory it appeared.
Opening it, in front of me was a staircase. I went down the stairs, the walls of which were decorated with the same patterns as the corridors. There were the same as before the corridors and rooms, only more complex configuration. The air was heavier than before, because we can not relax, but I hope continued on his way.
Did not and a few steps from the stairs as soon as out of the water, aiming at my heart jumped like an arrow shape, blue, solid like a steel perch in the amount of 10 pieces of silver, I swatted his hand, and on the ground I walked on the road chewing their meat.
Today's goal is a safe waiting room in front of the 10th floor boss.

Partial Edit
Maybe this is a bit sudden, but before I talk about the intermediate boss, I will discuss the team of five demons. The team of five demons, is made up of the former goblins who decided to attack me in the middle of the night, but were quickly repelled and then worked as my slaves. On that day, they attacked me with good intentions for the sake of their starving comrades. In short, they tried to make me, who knows how to get food, share it with the starving goblins.
That is indirectly trying to save the weak. This desire in goblins is very unusual. It is usually the nature of goblins to submit to the strong and oppress those who are weak.
They certainly can not be called renegades, but just the five of them gathered in one place, were united by one goal.
The team of five demons killed villains and enemies, no matter how much they begged for mercy, without hesitation. On this occasion they did not get upset, but if they see danger threatening their comrades and innocent women and children, and they could not save them all, the Five would get extremely upset about this. Demons that act like humans are quite unique, well yes it can be attributed to their individuality. Personally for me, I do not think it's bad.
First of all, thanks to such people, they enjoyed great confidence in the group, as well as working hard on their abilities, thus becoming my strength. In general, a team of five demons today in Sutra at the border of the Sternbild Kingdom and Kirika Empire saved an armed group attacked by Orcs, saving the daughter of a Count in the Empire. They could not pass by without helping, and gallantly drove the attacking Orcs away.
Of course accompanied by a detachment of Count's daughter's group of muscular guards, they delayed and significantly reduced the Orc's numbers, the former among the Orcs, a representative of the next stage [the demon boar (fanged orc)] [fanged orc mage]. And against the main forces, composed of Orcs, he joined a team of five demons. Against such an enemy that they made uniforms of massacre.
And it dawned upon them that they liked the Count's daughter and saved her and so they took the mission to support her. And it is not credible that they did it because it benefited the depleted squad of guards greatly. At the moment, accompanying the Marquis's daughter, they went deeper into the Kingdom.
Apparently the Count's daughter was traveling incognito, carrying documents from the Tomboy Princess. I think it smells like a small business issue, but oh well, I'll be putting Kanami-chan in charge of it.
Okay, back to business. Having finished breakfast, I opened the door of the room in which I was waiting for the boss.
Here, on the fifth floor, it was quite a broad, square-shaped room, with walls measuring about 100 meters. The walls were decorated as well as the corridors, in the likeness of a temple, and the air was pure. If there were a race of undead monsters, from just one ounce of this air, they would probably take damage because the air was so clean.
For testing, I used [Lesser Summoning: Undead], and the summoned black skeleton disappeared almost immediately and turned into smoke. On the ceiling of this room, it showed countless faces of the gods. And in the middle were five painted pillars [of the great gods], blue, red, white and black patterns. Among them, the black, was maybe the Great God of Origin and End.
It is not clear if it was a male or female person holding a spear in their hand of misfortune. Probably because of the protection obtained for the first time, looking at him, he looks familiar to me and there is a feeling of nostalgia.
While I was falling into a stupor watching him from the room, a massive amount of water was gushing out from a hole located in the center(?). It quickly enveloped the entire floor of the huge room, and reached as far as my legs until it stopped. The water was unusually cold. Just a few degrees separated it from becoming ice.
Just standing in her aura, my energy left my body. There it appeared, throwing water, a horn shaped like a wave, on the surface there was a huge whale's head, and then there was a huge body with eight legs. A long tail, like a snake's hit the water. Four huge red eyes, tirelessly watching the environment.
The entire body is covered with a massive skin of ultramarine color and a metallic hue. A huge monster 15 meters in length and a height of 7 meters, a width of 5 meters, the boss of the fifth floor Warpidron.
The basic attacks- lightning attacks and horn are issued from a huge whale mouth from which water waves are and from the hole in his head, water jets are released with tremendous pressure that can cut steel, a quick tug on the enemy, using its 8 feet, by the movement of the long tail water funnel. Usually this boss needs a whole group to defeat it, since he is not a feeble boss of the dungeon.
Especially considering the water that was knee-high gave Warpidron the environmental advantage. For the enemy water interferes with movement, and because of the the maritime location, there was no hindrance for him. Moreover, the more water there was, the better he revealed better his power.
I am standing in front of him, numb in my head from the presence of a strong opponent. At the same time it awoke my appetite. I had the pure desire to eat the whole thing.
Because there is no need to suppress my hunger, I took out the halberd from the glove box and raising a roar, I engaged in battle.

[Dungeon boss [Warpidron] successfully eliminated]
[Achiever [Yatendouji] recognized the right of further progress, continue to the boss floor [Warpidron] will be available with a choice of promotion without a fight]
[Achiever [Yatendouji] as a bonus for the first elimination of the boss will be sent a box of treasure [the horn of the great storm whale]]
[Achiever [Yatendouji] as a bonus for [Solo Kill] will be sent rare ability [Mad Pump]]
   After about 20 minutes the water still hasn't receded completely. Laying in front of me was a huge box with treasures and the bird(?) Warpidron. It's design contained not only gold, silver and precious stones but mithril and rare magical metals as well and it was done as a work of art. Chances are, even if Blacksmith-san and gnomes attempted to do this, they would have a very difficult time.
So great has been made this box of treasures and it contained the [Storm Horn of the Great Whale].
We see the same type of thing that appeared for the performance of local history, the random box of treasures [super]. Inside the boxes were random magic items, gold and silver, for which we would never have enough.(?)
And what might the huge box [horn storm the great whale] might contain? I decided to learn this later, leaving the fun for later and immediately placing it in the glove box. Now we have Verupedrona carcass. Great Horn was uprooted. Because of the efforts on the skull, the eyes of all four climbs.
8 giant and thick feet were all cut off, the body had a huge cut from which spilled bodies, long tail was covered in wounds.
It looked like the remains of Verupedrona. For once I met a strong opponent, I decided not to use a chur strong synthetic abilities, and the battle took more time than I expected.
The main reason was the incredible life force, deep wounds would almost heal instantaneously. At the time when I lost my living hand, I was a little panicked. As expected from an entity that was on a boss level, at the moment when I relaxed, it immediately counterattacked. After I tasted his flesh I immediately recovered the lost hand no problem.    Back to our meat. Let's start with perhaps the horn. The great horn was much better than expected, simply more delicious.
If I had not previously tried the meat, I probably would have cried, "yummy".

Ability [Carrying Lightning Horn] learned    
Now, from my 3 horns I can unleash lightning strikes. At the moment of use, the flash is bright enough to blind eyes but its power is very high. Also, it can be used without preparation so it is a very convenient ability. And if you use it with [Electromaster] I can further increase its power. Then I tried to eat the brain.
It was crushed and on the floor, but it took only one bite to make my whole body feel its mouthwatering taste. It was like a wave swept over my nervous system(?). At the same time, like a soup, it was easy to eat, so I got him on the machine to itself.
Then I took a bite of the skull, which was as tough as metal. But in fact because it grew lightning horn it had a refreshing, salty taste, which woke up the appetite even more. The taste of the meat and fat covering the skull was like a high grade beef and melted directly on the tongue. Warpidron was uniquely delicious.


Ability learned: [Mushroom Whale Voice] learned
Ability learned: [Battle Cry]
As expected from the interim boss. With the strengthening of the dungeon, the biological parameters is kind above me.
And eating is the quantity and quality, it was pretty easy to get the ability, so I am really happy. Of course, I could eat up the remains alone, but I decided to bring them as a souvenir for everyone else.
Maybe it will improve the mood of Kanami-chan, and we must treat the children. All it will surely be welcome.
Because I had to stop myself from the desire to finish it immediately, I put the remains in the glove box before they were absorbed by the dungeon, I went to a huge gate leading out of the room. Before the battle, I did not notice it, but after the victory it appeared.
Opening it, in front of me was a staircase. I went down the stairs, the walls of which were decorated with the same patterns as the corridors.
They were the same as the corridors and rooms before, only with a more complex configuration.
The air was heavier than before so I cannot relax, but with hope I continued on this path.
I only took a few steps from the stairs and as soon as I was out of the water, aiming at my heart jumped an arrow-shaped, blue, solid like a steel perch [burufurecchab? Shu] in the amount of 10 pieces of silver, I swatted it with my hand, and I walked on the road chewing their meat.
Today's goal is a safe waiting room in front of the 10th floor boss.

  1. Can I suggest losing the original translation of 200 as the edit version is a lot better translation.

    While I was falling into a stupor watching him from the room, a massive amount of water was gushing out from a hole located in the center(?).
    This translation is fine. Easerly understandable, and works well in English.

    Laying in front of me was a huge box with treasures and the bird(?) Warpidron.
    Just a guess but wouldn't the writer be taking about the BODY of the Warpidron. As in he was looking at the dead boss and the treasure chest that had appeared. Like it does in quite a few JRPG's where the prize for defeating a boss suddenly appears out of knowhere in front of you.

    We see the same type of thing that appeared for the performance of local history, the random box of treasures [super]. Inside the boxes were random magic items, gold and silver, for which we would never have enough.(?)
    I personally think the exact translation of "appeared for the performance of local history" is more like "recent events" in English. As in the actions of things that have happened (performance) in history quite close to this (local) match what he was seeing right in front of him. As in his recent experiences of dungeon bosses and what happens after their defeat match what he was seeing in front of him. Which is better translated as "We (possibly "I" cos I consider that he is talking about his own experiences, BUT "We" works in English as well) have seen the same thing happen in recent history"
    The rest of that makes sense. Basically he thinks that you can never have enough money for things and that they never would with the growth of the mercenary group. Examples of him thinking this way are in previous chapters, e.g. the reward for helping the princess was great, BUT a more stable scorce of income was needed if they were to keep going in the future.
    He always seems to look to the future, the next evolution of a comrade, the next skill, the next meal, the next way to expand Parabellum etc.
    It was crushed and on the floor, but it took only one bite to make my whole body feel its mouthwatering taste. It was like a wave swept over my nervous system(?)
    Nothing wrong with this translation. Imagine having a shot of whisky or vodka and the shiver it sends down your spine, as another way to describe the wave swept over his nervous system.
    So yeh translation fine here.
    HOWEVER

    At the same time, like a soup, it was easy to eat, so I got him on the machine to itself.
    ? "on the machine to itself" ? Don't understand that one bit. Starts talking about eating then ends with machine. Then caries on talking about eating and how the meal is like metal.
    Prity sure the "machine" translation is wrong or has another meaning cos this meaning doesn't fit here.

    Hope that helps.
