CH.15: CHEKING THE PERFORMANCE

When coming back from shopping, since it was noon I have lunch then I headed to the dungeon.
The comfort of the Carbon Suit although isn’t very nice, I can say that is very stiff (TN: gowagowa), but I can’t complain if it has the defensive power like a chain mail as the clerk said.
There is no sense of discomfort in movement, it can be said that there is no problem.
The shoes are made to resemble military shoes and cover up to the ankle.
Of course, there are steel plates in the tip of the foot and will protect my foot from shocks like safety boots.
Well, it’s a little hard for a new article but it’s acceptable.

I enter the dungeon and go to the second floor with the transfer formation.
I ask Pochi to head to where a rabbit is.
That’s it to try to receive a rabbit’s attack.
If I receive from a rabbit’s attack and this suit break, that clerk would have been lying.
Then I’ll get out of that place.
I don’t think he sold something of 1.2 million that would break immediately.
Well, it’s probably okay if this is genuine.
After that, I searched on the net and looked for it, but the catchphrase of the clerk wasn’t mistaken.
It should be much stronger than the work clothes I was wearing, should be.
Well, will I understand once I try it?

After a while walking through the dungeon, I encountered the wished rabbit.
The number is one, so it’s a situation I want it.

“Pochi, stand by”

That said, Pochi goes down behind, but don’t stop being alert.
I guess he is going to help me if it becomes dangerous.
I step forward, but I venture without drawing the Tsuruginata and it becomes full of gaps posture.
The rabbit doesn’t approach close enough wondering about me.
I wait for a while, but since there was no indication that the rabbit was moving, I approach the rabbit.
Still, the rabbit didn’t move, but the instant when I approached a certain distance, the rabbit came jumping toward my neck.
There is no panic because I approached while being cautious as the rabbit could start to move.
The rabbit swings its ear aiming at my neck.
Although the carbon suit covers up to my neck, I can’t afford to receive the rabbit’s attack because the safety isn’t confirmed yet.
In case the suit can’t bear it, there is no guarantee of my life.
Before the attack of the rabbit reaches my neck, I protect it with my arm.
At that moment, a ‘gyarin’ metallic sound rings.
I felt a shock in my arms, but there is no pain.
I’d like to check my arm, but it’s dangerous to take off my eyes of the rabbit.
When its attack is prevented, the rabbit kicks my body and take distance.
Then like that, kicks the ground, jumping irregularly using the walls and the ceiling.
I calmly look the movement of the rabbit, measuring the timing.
The rabbit is jumping around me irregularly looking for a gap, but I ’m not exposing anything now.
Although I’m using rubber gloves, I’m glad it misunderstand it as the same material of the suit because of the same black color.
Well, even if my hands aimed, I can easily dodge it.
The rabbit really came toward my hand whether it was impossible to think that.
The rabbit looks at me and jumped over from the left side.
I have the Tsuruginata on my right, so I guess it was aiming for my empty left hand.
Did it though that there was a gap in the empty left hand?
If so, it’s a misunderstanding that it’s a good place to attack.
The rabbit, which jumped over, tried to swing its ears, but before that my left-hand burst.
I hit the rabbit’s nose.
Although it wasn’t a proper punch, I tried to hit like a flicker jab.
Compared to the death god who comes out in a certain weekly manga, if it can be compared, but nevertheless it was effective for 10 minutes.
The movement of the rabbit was stopped and was full of gaps.
I didn’t miss that and broke the rabbit’s head with the Tsuruginata.
The swinging Tsuruginata cracked the head and scattered the gray matter.
It hangs on a part of my body, but there is no choice but to give up.
For the time being, I succeeded in taking down the rabbit.

Pochi came close as soon as I got a breath from taking down the rabbit.
For some reason or another, I stroke the head of Pochi waiting for settle down the mood.
That’s because it isn’t a pleasant thing to cut off a living being although I’m used to it.
Since I calmed down, I take a look at my arm attacked by the rabbit.
It was the left arm that received it, but there isn’t a cut.
I look at the part of the arm where I felt the shock, but I can’t find anything strange.
When I look closely, I saw something like a thin line.
Probably this line is where the rabbit attack land.
It looks like it was not necessary to worry about the attack of the rabbit.
It’s likely that the rabbit attack becomes a fatal injury, but because the neck, wrist, and ankle are covered by the suit, the risk of a fatal injury will be considerably reduced unless it’s torn.
Although, if I get attacked, I have to check every time.
Because everything has something called durability, you won’t know when it will break if you don’t check it.
I have to buy a new one when I feel it will tear.
Since 1.2 million is expensive, there is no choice but to pray that it won’t torn soon.

Because of the increased safety due to the carbon suit, I was able to fight rabbits at easy.
After this we hunt five more rabbits, I decided to try putting a total of six of them in my rucksack.
The rucksack swelled thanks to being filled to bursting, but it was impossible to think to throw away the rabbit meat.
If it didn’t enter, I would have to bring it home in my hands.
However, this will interfere with battle, so I would have to go home once it happens, but, fortunately, it wasn’t the case this time.
Rabbit ears?
That’s secondary.
The main is meat.
Well, at the same time I check the ears.
I will bring the ears if they are in good condition, and thrown away if the baggage is full.
Do you feel that it’s a waste?
The price of monster material seems to fluctuate considerably, even the rabbit ears don’t necessarily will sell for 2500 yen next time I going to sell.
Perhaps it could be sold at a higher price, but the possibility to be less is higher.
That’s why I looked it up on the net.
Compared with one year ago it turned out that the price has fallen down to nearly half.
Since it’s expected that further decreases will occur in the future, I don’t feel that throwing away isn’t too wasteable.
Although materials of a monster which are deeper are also decreasing, it’s not as great as the rabbit ears.
The difference between the materials of a deep monster and a superficial monster is that they aren’t easily available.
It’s because it isn’t always possible to defeat that monster, and there are few people that make it.
So, the material of a deep monster is expensive and the price doesn’t decrease so much.
Supply and demand aren’t balanced.
Well, that’s why even though the rabbit ears are thrown away, there is no such thing as being wasteful.
It might be as good as having a spare weapon.

Since the rucksack was full, I move from the second to the first floor and changed the opponent to the rats.
Looking at the number of rats, I decide whether to fight or not.
If there are about 30 to 40 rats, we fight, but we give up if I thought that there are more than 50, and move to a place where there are less.
That day we challenged three flocks of rats and destroyed all of them.
It was quite a hard time to beat the third flock, but it wasn’t like we couldn’t beat it.
I understand that I’m surely acquiring power.
But, it was just killing rats.
For the time being, do I even have a goal?
U~n, that’s.
Will it be to be able to defeat about a hundred of rats by myself?
If I could do that, I’d be able to go to the third floor.
Alright, let’s do our best to achieve that goal from now on.
