CHAPTER 62: SIBLINGS COMPLETE INTERMEDIATE POTIONS

“Hey, do you see that? The black one on the tree.” (Explorer 1)

“Oh, who is that? I thought they came downstairs, but before I knew it, Treant was dead. How do they even know which one is Treant?” (Explorer 2)

　One day in the forest, a party of men were standing around, looking up, their faces pale and dumbfounded. There were four of them. But even if they are not in a position where they can be observed by these four people, there are probably a number of people who are making the same reaction.

　It’s not normal for anyone to be able to maintain a sense of normalcy after seeing something like that.

　The man’s frightened voice was answered by another man’s trembling voice.

“It’s not just that. It’s not just that. There was so little presence of him that you might have missed him if you didn’t look carefully. Seriously, what are they?” (Explorer 1)

“It’s a demon. It’s a demon. It’s a dungeon demon. I’m leaving now. If he sees me, he’ll kill me.” (Explorer 2)

“Hey, don’t go ahead. We’re leaving too.” (Explorer 3)

“We should not come to the Forest for a while. It was a mistake to come here in the first place to get materials for Intermediate Potions.” (Explorer 4)

　The 16th floor of the Tokyo dungeon. In this forest, where only Japan’s best Advanced Explorers are found, two black shadows are feared. The shadows were ascending the stairs.

“Hey, Haru. Is this amount enough?” (Kei)

“Yes. I thought it would be hard to get one because it’s a rare monster, but there were so many of them. I got one too.” (Haru)

“Haru, when did you get those.” (Kei)

“While I was running.” (Haru)

　The Forest Demon ascended the stairs. The Kizaki siblings quickly ran from the forest to the 15th floor. Few people can imitate the act of jumping at the stairs several steps at a time and kicking the wall while climbing at a tremendous speed.

“Well, can the hero do it?” (Kei)

“Hmm, what?” (Haru)

　Haru, who is running in front of me while I have an inner soliloquy, turns to me while tilting her head. Just climbing the stairs casually without slowing down, though.

“No, the way we climb the stairs is pretty outrageous when you think about it.” (Kei)

“Yes, it is. We can do it because we know where the ground and the walls are.” (Haru)

“But our current level is 75, right?” (Kei)

“Yeah, that’s right. We went up the day before yesterday.” (Haru)

“Our proficiencies are for rearguards. But our vanguard skills are twice as strong as rearguards.” (Kei)

“That’s right. We’re not strong enough.” (|Haru)

“Then we’re not as strong as the heroes, are we?” (Kei)

“Oh, I see. That’s right.” (Haru)

　If you are an ordinary person, they might feel regret there? However, the brother and sister pair did not. This brother was different.

“It’s not like we’re that we are far beyond. I feel relieved.” (Kei)

“I’m a little bummed that we’re losing.” (Haru)

　I can hear Haru complaining, but I don’t know. I don’t want to deal with it poorly and end up having to stay in a dungeon and train to level up.

　But there’s one thing that the siblings haven’t been aware of since they entered the dungeon. That is their status that is invisible to the eye. It’s true that the more strength you have, the stronger you become and the more powerful you are. But that’s not power.

　People have experience, skills, tools, and many other things.

　In this regard, the weapons of those siblings are weak compared to the Spirit Sword of the Paladin that the hero has. The weapons that can be found in dungeons are incredibly valuable, but they are just as strong. However, this is only true for weapons that have a unique name.

　Although the siblings were not as strong as the heroes and had weaker weapons, they had enough experience.

　They had the time and experience of exploring dungeons every day, and the resistance to fatigue that comes with it. The experience of killing monsters without using magic despite their low strength.

　They had an unusually strong safety margin, powerful skills, and even a healer. In addition, compared to the heroes who set their own hours and go home on time, the experience of the siblings in dungeon exploration and combat is incomparable.

　It’s not that the Hero Party and the other Five Strongest Party are lazy, it’s just that people respect them for their activities outside the dungeon, such as appearing on television.

　By the way, the siblings who somehow don’t know themselves up to this point. They don’t think they’ll be behind the brave in close quarters battle.

　However, there is something that these two have not thought about. That is buffs. An enhancement that works on your status outside of your status.

　The equipment, which was alchemized with the abundant items from their dungeon, surely raised the status of the two, and in addition, they had a [Proof of Combat with Two].

　This is how the two of them are. Even their strength has the same status as the brave, and even Touka surpasses the brave.

　The fact that no one knows, that the power of these two people was already more than cheating.

“Okay, transfer, 15th-floor entrance. Let’s go, [Power].” (Kei)

“Thanks, bye.” (Haru)

　Boom!

　We climbed up the stairs and quickly made our way to the entrance of the 15th floor, where we opened the door to the boss room. At the same time, Haru, who has been strengthened by me, jumps forward and blows the face of the Minotaur.

　Before I could even raise my weapon, the Minotaur’s life was snuffed out and it turned to mist. After picking up the dropped items, I take out the necessary items from my Item Pouch. It was a board containing the trash skills I had been collecting.

　What I took out was heat and airflow. When it is activated by channeling magical power on it, the Spirit Tree Leaves are placed there. Then the leaves will be dried in a few minutes. From there, as 893 says.

“”Complete!”” (Haru & Kei)

　30 minutes in time. The brother and sister finally got an Intermediate Potion.
