CH.27: REFLECTION AND OBJECTIVE

On the night of the day that we withdraw from the dungeon, I thought about the day in my room.
Let’s reflect on what happened on the fourth floor.
The principal mistake is that I advanced with confidence in my power.
I never thought that monster strength would change from the third to the fourth floor.
I feel that it’s slightly easier to fight three frogs than one mantis.
That’s approximately the difference in strength.
If I would have investigated how other dungeons change, we might have been able to predict this a little.
This was lack of preparation.
Let’s check other dungeons from now.
Next, it’s the time when I fought the mantis.
First of all, the problem is that the range of attack of the mantis is wider.
In the beginning, I was unilaterally attacked from outside of my range.
There are several measures against it, but the easiest way is to change to a weapon with a wider range.
For example, a spear or something like that.
I often hear that spears are good as amateur’s weapons.
It seems the reason is that because the spear is long, you can attack from outside the opponent’s range.
However, although it can just be used, I’m not skilled at it.
Be it a spear or a sword or some martial art, training is necessary.
If I was asked whether I could use the Tsuruginata skillfully, I have no choice but to tilt my head to the side.
Well, even if I fight with a mantis I will lose because even if I suddenly change to a spear I can’t use it skillfully.
For that reason, there’s no solution.
Next is, to get a defensive armament to protect from the attack of the mantis, right?
In other words, getting a shield.
A shield, eh?
Judging from my battle-style, a big shield gets in the way.
If that’s the case, it would be a small shield.
A shield like the one that the ‘Cloth’ (sacred armor) of Shiryu from the manga Saint Seiya had attached would be good.
If it’s like that, it won’t hinder in battle.
After that, speaking of what I could consider, I was defeated by the number of attacks.
At that time I managed to cut off the scythe somehow, but if it would have failed then my stamina would have run out.
The answer to that is whether to make my attack speed fast or to increase the number of attacks.
It’s not possible to make the attack speed fast immediately.
There is no choice but simple training or to defeat monsters to strengthen the body, but both take time.
Will I be able to increase the number of attacks?
If I have one more weapon, it’ll be resolved.
When it comes to weapons, there is the hatchet that I took to the dungeon first, but I haven’t taken it since I replaced it.
What about that?
Will that hatchet affects the mantis?
It might be able to affect it by brute force, but I feel that the hatchet won’t last.
Will I try it once on the third floor area?
If it’s impossible, I’ll buy a new weapon, or if it’s acceptable I can just use it.
This is the countermeasure to the mantis.
Then it’s to have a shield and a weapon that I could be able to carry.
Okay, let’s try both of them.
Both of them are effective, so there’s no need to narrow it down to one.
This is about me.

The problem is with Haku and Koku more than with me.
I didn’t see how Haku and Koku were fighting with the mantis, but there was too much difference of power.
At least I would like to give them some kind of armor, but there is no armor to suit a chicken.
I mean, I don’t think they can wear it.
If they wear a strange thing, it’s likely that their movement will be hindered and they won’t be able to fight.
In games, accessories are used to raise defense power and other stats, but as might be expected there is no such thing.
So I try checking in the net while thinking about that.
On the net, I open the homepage of the shop for Seekers and look for it.
What was posted on that homepage was broadly divided into three categories. Weapons, Protective Gears, and Magic Tools.
If I select Weapons, it’s divided into various kinds of weapons like swords, axes, and others, and if you click on them you can see what is there.
Protective Gears is also the same, when I open it it’s classified as shield, armor, helmet and so on and I can click on them to see what kind of thing it is.
So, first, click on Protective Gears.
Then. The category of Protective Gears comes out.
Among them, would it be a helmet that Haku and Koku could wear?
In the moment I was going to click on helmet, I saw “Others” at the bottom.
I think “what?”, click it and try open it.
There were sunglasses and scarves for example.
It was written that anything was made of materials got on the dungeon and is not effective wearing like a game.
Just in case, I saw what was posted in Others, but there was nothing satisfactory.

Is there nothing after all?

Thinking that I return to the top.
I return to the top and try opening Magic Tools to see if there is something.
Magic Bags were widely posted on the Magic Tools category.
There are several Magic Bags, all of them are auction type, and the amount is added by one click.
As I thought, those with large capacity were expensive and the one with the largest capacity was nearly 800 million.
Even the smallest is over 30 million and I can’t predict how much it will be the final price.
Besides the Magic Bags, there were only medicines.
The medicines, like in games, were potions, antidotes, etc.
As I look for anything else, accessories such as rings and necklaces came out.
As I thought, looking at the ability, is as expected.
They have the effect of raising the status.
However, it was written that they only have a low soothing effect.
Even so, Haku and Kou can’t wear armor, besides Pochi will save trouble.
Let’s buy this.
I thought so, but all were out of stock.
There was only one that remained and its effect is unknown.
As expected I couldn’t bring myself to buy such a thing.
I wanted to make an reservation, but it’s impossible because I don’t know when it can arrive.
Can I buy it?
However, with this, I knew what is good to buy to Pochi and the others.
Let’s ask if there are any accessories like that when I going to buy the shield.
I would have a stroke of luck if there is one. I might be able to make a reservation even without it.
If I can’t make a reservation, I’ll need to attend often to get one, but if the safety of Pochi and the others go up, there is no problem about it.
I want to head to the shop right now, but it’s already past 22 o’clock and it’s closed.
It can’t be help it, I will try it tomorrow.
Is there anything to worry about?
After thinking for a while, I noticed something.
That’s it!
Let’s examine Haku at the hospital.
He might have an injury that I didn’t know.
Damn!
Why didn’t I notice such a serious thing?!!
The animal hospital is already closed at this time.
Let’s go first thing in the morning tomorrow.
The open time was 9 o’clock.
Then, if we leave at 8:30, we should arrive before it opens.
Shopping could be afterward.
Let’s see the state of Haku later.
If his state is bad, I have to take him to the hospital immediately.
Let’s also examine Koku just in case.
Yeah, in that place.
Immediately after that, I went to the chicken hut and saw the state of Haku.
There is no particular change when I see the state of Haku.
Koku was also similar.
Seeing it, I was relieved and then decided to go to sleep.
Tomorrow, I will take Haku to the hospital and just go shopping after that, let’s stop the dungeon’s capture.
Even if Haku and the others didn’t have a problem, they should be tired today.
Thinking that I lay on the bed.
Then, I was attacked by an intense drowsiness and fell asleep without resisting it.
