Chapter 95 - Power

Prev | TOC | Next We were finally in a position to take a vacation for the first time in a while, so our Second Unit was making our way toward the surface. Ahahahahahaha! I feel so light! So light! After being forced to keep training our muscles in a hot spring where we could recover endlessly, my body really does feel incredibly light. I never realized armor could be this light. Even though we're carrying a whole load of towels, soap, and mirrors, climbing the stairs feels like walking on level ground. After all, we were forced to keep working out until our bodies had transformed into solid masses of bulging muscle. Even those muscles, swollen to the point of looking like a professional bodybuilder's, return to our usual physiques—at least in appearance—once we soak in the bath on the eleventh floor. At our current level, I'm pretty sure we could even conquer the athletic area on the eleventh floor while carrying Queen Teta on our backs, as long as we took it slowly. Haha...

Chapter 94 - Dinner Gathering

Prev | TOC | Next "豁ヲ蜈キ?" While I was watching the black cat Core rolling around contentedly in the catnip, Peta-chan suddenly uttered a mysterious phrase. "Hm? Bugu-kun is coming over here?"

The Weapon Dungeon Core wants to come over here. Is it okay if I call him?" "By Weapon, ya mean that armed-kid-looking Core?" "Yeah. What he's after is food and something to pass the time, so I think he came over to have a chat while getting something to eat." "Hmm, sure. I ...

Chapter 93 - Post-Bath Beer

Prev | TOC | Next As soon as I regained consciousness, I saw the Thread Dungeon Master's clothes had been replaced with the bathrobe I had produced. She wore an awkward, slightly embarrassed expression, though I wasn't quite sure why. Maybe it was because, even if I'd been unconscious, she'd just taken a bath in front of a man. Or perhaps because she was completely naked underneath that bathrobe. Yeah, that innocent bashfulness was rather endearing. "Since we're already here, would you like to enjoy a nice meal after your bath? I can't promise it'll suit the tastes of the country where you grew up, though." "Oh? You're going to cook? ...What kind of food even goes well after a bath?" Peta-chan puffed herself up with determination, looking every bit like she was about to declare, “Then I'll make it!” The problem was, I'd never actually taught her what counted as good post-bath food. "Hmm... Normally, after sweating, you...
