Day 61 – Evening, Murimuri Castle Premises.
Splitting into 3 teams with 2 parties each, we hit 3 places for light exploration, just to check things out and train for a bit while we are at it. However, all three groups ended up killing dungeon masters on the 50th floors. What’s left is to check for hidden rooms.
Everyone went back seemingly stunned and dumbfounded, as if this was some sort of a mistake, and I was not an exception.
It took us a long time before we became able to beat dungeon masters. Getting caught by tentacles and throwing in the towel as it devolved into a real threat to our chastity, thinking that we finally beat one, only to fail because of a hot pot, and only recently we managed to take one down with 6 parties and received a passing mark. But this time, every group managed to overwhelm their boss with just two parties this time. Everyone came back after completely demolishing it.
The new weapons given to each party were way too good, way too strong, completely overwhelming. The increase in firepower shortened combat time, so it took only half a day to kill a dungeon with two parties. Even dungeon masters, with which we previously struggled so much, were easily beaten.
「Did we get stronger? We did, right? We have gotten stronger, didn’t we?」
「We challenged dungeons with only two parties each and completely crushed it! It’s amazing!」
Everyone’s goal is too far, even if chased at full speed it keeps rapidly getting farther, lately, that Goal-san is even teleporting away moving at ultra high speed, because of that we felt disheartened and were losing confidence, but this boosted our confidence a bit.
Well, it’s definitely getting stomped into the dust again during the night training, but it’s fine to celebrate for now. It will soon turn into despair (X_X) anyway.
「To think that shortening fights with increased firepower will change things this much~.」
「Well, compared to the One-hit sure kill walking nightmare (Haruka-kun) and his buddies this is still slow…」
You shouldn’t even try to compare yourself with that, okay? He isn’t exploring dungeons, he is coming to commit atrocities on dungeon masters. No good, ordinary, or even bad girls should imitate that. That is an inhumane dungeon abuser.
Kakizaki-kun’s party is super excited too. Not sure if Excitement is some sort of abnormal status effect but they keep repeating the same line.
「「「This sword is cool! Like really cool! It so super cool!」」」
Looks like the zweihander’s destructive power was amazing, but it seems to possess an equally amazing destructive power for the ability to speak. It apparently has a minus to INT among its effects. They’ve been speaking of the zweihanders’ power for quite a while now, but the only adjectives that were used are『Cool』and『Super』. Looks like it’s over for them.
But we got a profound understanding of the significance and meaning of being able to defeat enemies in one hit. With enemies vanishing in the blink of an eye it’s immensely easier to ramp the difference in numbers to our advantage. In fact, everyone still has tons of MP left. Everyone is still in combat-ready condition.
「With improved equipment we also barely took any damage even on the middle floors. Those bras are so easy to move in!」
The bigger girls were really troubled by this. The not-so-big girls are… still very troubled. Anyway, it’s very easy to move, doesn’t add to exhaustion or gets in the way, no discomfort from rubbing or stuffiness too! These are the best bras in the universe! Even Sci-Fi worlds have nothing on this! With this we can expect a lot from the hip-up effect for the bottom too.
And since defense power received a solid overall boost too, with tons of various skills and effects, everyone took pretty much no damage, safely finishing their fights. And this is the greatest accomplishment, everyone is confused, but we properly got stronger. This was given to us by Haruka-kun, this is what Haruka-kun was aiming for, safety of our lives.
Reaching level 100 and finally catching up to the strength of our equipment, we could finally put it to good use, finally able to properly wield what Haruka-kun gave us. That’s why we were so strong. After all, having so much done for us, getting protected for so long, if we didn’t get stronger it would’ve been a bad joke, there is no excuse for that. That’s why we have properly gotten stronger.
Returning to Murimuri Castle we found it noisy and animated, and were immediately told the reason. The Second Prince rose in rebellion at the capital. Seems like this is the case of the enemy of my enemy is another enemy.
While the royal troops are worried for the safety of their relatives, the frontier troops are busy working on how to cope with an ever increasing number of enemies. The Kingdom is thrown into disorder and is beginning to collapse.
「But isn’t it a good thing if the enemies split? Like force division?」
Ehm, certainly, there are some advantages to the division of enemy forces. But…
「But it can also be said that the number of enemies now increased twofold, like, fighting on two fronts?」
「The Royal Prince-san… He didn’t even prepare for this? And left the capital just like that…?」
The situation is unfavorable for a three-way deadlock, both parties want to capture the frontier. And with the massive difference in forces there is almost no chance that they will agree to negotiations.
「Well, it’s not like we have any say in this, so let’s take a bath and then dine!」
That’s also true, we are only tagging along with that certain selfish self-indulging someone who can’t help himself but go around ruthlessly exterminating misfortune and misery out of pure hate for tragedy.
Checking the training grounds in search of Haruka-kun…
Royal Girl and Maid Girl were lying there out cold. Looks like there are preceding visitors. Was this practice or they over ate manju and this is a result of ONE MORE SET?
「「「Angelica-saan. We beat a dungeon! We actually got stronger!」」」
That one line made Angelica-san beam with a smile, so lovely that it looked like it could make flowers bloom.
And—
「「「GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA… GIVEUP」」」
「「「GUAH!!! NO MORE!」」」
But she had no mercy, rather, as we tried to rely on items and weapons we showed even more openings. Our fighting styles were thrown into disarray. That’s why a mountain of beaten up girls with X_X eyes is swiftly piling up.
The short-lived Confidence-san was smashed to pieces and passed away. Despair is in process.
「We were too deluded by huge firepower~, that’s what’s called recklessness, huh~?」
「Yeah, we were trying to just hastily finish it in one go. If she saw that she probably would’ve scolded us with something like『Self-conceit of overestimating your ability is fatal』!」
A review meeting, today we have a lot of points to reflect on. As much as we thought we had gotten stronger, we were beaten up equally hard to realize our conceit. She had beaten us into pulp, teaching us the looming dangers.
Without realizing, we began relying on weapons, trying to cheat our way around the problems with equipment. That’s why we were beaten. Reminded that we shouldn’t lose neither spirit nor caution, that we should be improving ourselves first, not our gear.
The training by the best and strongest mentor was the scariest and harshest, but we surely got stronger again. Since we can’t give up we just have to get stronger.
And yet, Angelica-san said that no matter how much she beats him up, Haruka-kun is the one who is actually strong.
To beat a strong opponent, one has to be even stronger, then, Angelica-san is obviously the strongest. And yet she says that there is no meaning to simple strength, that only Haruka-kun can kill what can’t be killed by anyone. That’s what true strength is. That must be what she couldn’t obtain no matter how strong she became. That is the strength to prevail over a strong opponent even if being weak oneself.
Well, in that meaning Haruka-kun is the top-class leading contender for the strongest, the foulest, and the craziest. But that evilest, most terrifying money-grabbing top contender is on the verge of being eliminated in the body pile pt 2 that is swimsuit order craze.
Well, it might be too late to say on the verge?
Squished and squashed and crushed he is in the process of sinking in the wild tide of highschool girls. He was probably going to the bath and took off his items. There is no chance of surviving a level 100 schoolgirls body pile with such light equipment. His arm reaching for the sky was the only thing that was still visible, but finally, even that vanished from sight. He sunk? Looks like he didn’t get 『Unsinkable』skill.
After all, in the previous world we were shy and also cared about what others might think, but this is another world! The only people that know us are fellow comrades, in other words, it’s bikini debut time!
A huge heap of request forms is piling up on top of Haruka-kun’s corpse. Black bikini for me! Wait, since it’s Multicolor just a plain one.
For patterned cloth we still have to choose from a number of available patterns, but there seems to be a technique for applying a specific design to Multicolor items. And since Haruka-kun seems to be the only one who possesses that skill there is a fierce battle for swimsuit orders. Actually, it seems that Haruka-kun was taking swimsuits way too lightly. He didn’t expect such a lethal flood of orders, so he let his guard down, walking around without equipment. So naive.
It seems that the original plate of floral flower tone is being made by girls, so the floral dress is no longer a dream and I’m looking forward to it, but the heat press seems to be expensive so we have to save money for it, but we also want swimsuits. Apparently, after the flower tone comes the check pattern. And here Haruka-kun showed up wearing work pants with a houndstooth pattern, so of course he was interrogated, exposing his plan for patterned cloth items, so he has no one to blame but himself. Everyone is thrilled for this.
Currently, Shimazaki-san and the others are providing designs, while culture club girls working around Amou-san of the clothes and apparel club are pouring all of their efforts into preparing original tones. There are already pretty good original plates for polka dots and stripes, and we only had to wait for the machine’s completion, but this time swimsuits popped up, so there is a new uproar, leading to one late night girls-only meeting after another.
I also left the request form, but there is no response. It’s just a corpse (Haruka-kun). The girls also removed their equipment before the bath so he doesn’t seem to be injured. After all, the corpse-san has a very blissful look on his face.
Now, time for the bath girls-only gathering. The direction the war is taking is bothersome, and we are also curious about the maidens war (bargain sale) date. We received information from a certain source, that the next sale is going to have trial products from his patterned cloth project. It definitely can be trusted since the origin of that information is the strongest person that ends up in tears every night, after challenging wearing clothes with a print!
[TL Notes: I’m not entirely confident in printing or textile industry terminology, so if you see some points that should be corrected in this or the , let me know.]
