 Chapter 27: The Minotaur Dies Twice I'd beaten the boss, the Minotaur, on Floor 20 but there'd been no drop at all. It made sense though. Since this floor boss had a special fixed-drop rule: beat it with multiple parties and it wouldn't drop a thing. Seems like this is the kind of thing someone could abuse to mess with people. While I was thinking that over, it occurred to me to check whether the three of them were okay and the moment I turned around, I was immediately surrounded. "Wh-whoa! Suzukaze-san, you're insanely strong!?" "Um, thank you so much for saving us!!" "Um, tha— um..." With all three of them talking over each other, there was no making sense of it. And the bob-cut girl, your face is bright red, are you okay? Anyway, I calmed the excited girls down and suggested we move back in front of the boss room. You had to step out of this arena area once or the boss wouldn't respawn. Big brother here's still got to fight it o...

 Chapter 2: New Registration * * * Five Days Before the Opening * * * New registration, huh. This had to be that registration with the dungeon's system I'd been gathering information about beforehand. My vision had been wrapped in some mysterious white light ever since I'd passed through the dimensional hole. Whichever way I looked, ahead or behind, there was nothing but this strange, exitless space. I had no idea what I was supposed to do but for the time being, I tried shouting inside my own head: 『I'll register!』 『Your intent to register with the Dungeon has been confirmed. New registration will now proceed. Please remain as you are for a moment.』 My thought seemed to have gotten through. What came back was some bureaucratic-sounding stock phrase and then I was left waiting a while. During that time, a strange sensation ran through me, like my own body was being searched, or maybe it wasn't. After a moment, a voice came through announcing that registration was co...

 Chapter 2: The Employment Ice Age Uncle Summoned to Another World Defeats the Demon King 「I said 'I'm home~' but not even a ghost came out to greet me. Maybe that really is a little lonely. Should I try developing a sixth sense?」 Savoring the satisfaction of a job that let me clock out on time, I got off the bus near my place, picked up some half-price side dishes at the neighborhood supermarket and headed back to my second-floor unit in an old apartment building. Sipping cheap happoshu from the sale bin, I dug into the gyoza and salad I'd been lucky enough to snag. My future as a lifelong bachelor was all but sealed but I still had to look after my health so I made sure to eat my vegetables. I'd forgotten the pickles I'd made in bulk a few days ago were all gone. That was careless of me. I cooked for myself more often than people might expect but today I'd managed to grab some half-price dishes so I was giving myself a rare break. My pay was low but I save...

 Chapter 26: Almost Like a Dance [Side: Tachibana Yui] "Tachibana-san, why don't you become an Explorer with us too?" The first term of my second year of high school. Kaori-san was the one who spoke up to me, back when I couldn't fit into my new class. Apparently she'd been looking for someone she could form an Explorer party with. I asked her to wait a little while for my answer. But inside, I was so happy I could barely stand it and I told them I'd become an Explorer. Then, once summer break started, the three of us began working as Explorers. Kaori-san, who volunteered to be our tank. Saki-san, who thrived as our attacker. And me, handling support with a spear and all the little chores an expedition needed. I think things were probably going smoothly. Of course, there were people out there more impressive than us, but even so. The three of us having fun together and getting a real sense of accomplishment out of it. But half a year passed and once we reached...

Chapter 25: How to Put On a Convincing Struggle "...Huh?" At my words, Lapis's mouth fell open, dumbfounded. I'd just brought up the possibility that their attempt to beat the boss would end in failure. "I can't see the boss's HP from out here so it's just a guess. Still, they're landing way too little attacks. At that rate, I doubt they've even taken the Minotaur's HP down to half." I'd watched Minotaur fights on video plenty of times by now. Both those that succeeded amd those that failed. A whole lot of both. Among all that, what the failed videos tended to have in common was a failure to rack up damage efficiently. They'd focus so much on defending against the Minotaur's attacks that they ran short on resources for attacking. Or their Potion stock would start running out after spending them to heal HP that kept getting chipped away bit by bit. These three had clearly prepared properly beforehand too. They were swapping...
