(322) Conquering Minerva-sama’s dungeon


Translator: Tseirp


And it was Haru’s turn to shine now .


“Haru, I leave it to you . ”


“Yes . ”


Entry and exit of this dungeon were restricted but this was still an intermediate dungeon that soldiers, adventurers, and mercenaries visit to conquer .


For that reason, the smell of humans still lingered .


Among the countless smells, Haru was heading toward the location where the most number of human smells remained .


If people repeatedly visit this dungeon, they would probably choose the shortest route .


And we were not wrong .


After a couple battles, we reached the seventh floor in just 30 minutes .


“Master ― it’s faint but the scent continues beyond that wall . ”


“Illusionary wall huh . ”


In the past, I came across an illusionary wall when I was saving Norn-san .


I slipped through it .


“Let’s take a look around . ”


There was no reaction from beyond the wall even after I used Presence Detection .


I tossed a pebble I had inside my bag for some reason .


The pebble slipped right through the wall .


And then, I heard it fall onto the ground .


It seemed safe – – but I still looked out for traps .


“Master, I’ll take the lead . ”


“No, I’ll go . Wait here . ”


I replied and carefully entered .


There was no danger inside the room . Only directly inside the room though .


“ … It’s okay, Haru, Carol, come in . ”


I called Haru and Carol over .


Then, I showed them what I saw .


A hole that extended downward .


It would probably be a shortcut if we used that hole .


But I could not see the bottom of the whole .


“I guess I’ll test it out – – Ice!”


I made a bed of ice to seal the hole . After standing above the hole, I activated Hawk Eye and took a look directly below .




The hole extended downward for a long distance but I was at a loss for words at what I saw at the base .


There were corpses impaled on metal spikes .


I guess this hole is not the way … or not, there’s a path that extended to the side .


“All right, it connects!”


I said and asked Haru and Carol .


“There’s a shortcut after falling straight down into the hole but what’re your opinions? Do you two trust me?”


The two girls didn’t answer my question .


But I could tell from their expressions .


“I guess I didn’t have to ask . Haru, follow me!”


“Yes!”


I carried Carol on my back and cracked the ice below my feet with White Wolf Fang .


I entrusted my body to gravity and fell .


Haru and I will be fine even if we continued falling like this but Carol would probably not be .


“Tidal Wave . ”


I released a large volume of water directly below us .


The water I released reached the bottom in an instant – – and we plunged into it almost at the same time .


We didn’t fight against the water and let it channel us to the side path .


After we entered the side path, the magical power used to create the water was absorbed by the dungeon and it disappeared .


I asked after lowering Carol .


“Haru, Carol, are you all right?”


When I turned back, I saw the two of them with drenched clothes that had turned semi-transparent .


“Ah, my bad! Dry – – oops, it might be dangerous to use on humans as it will be bad if it gives you dry skin . Here, use a towel . ”


I passed Haru and Carol the towels I retrieved from my item bag .


“Thank you very much . I’ll use Dry on our clothes . ”


Haru replied and gradually took off her clothes .


“Haru, what are you – – “


“It’s to use Dry on our clothes after we take them off . Thankfully, Master’s spell has swept away the monsters around this area . ”


Ye-yeah . That seemed to be the case .


I heard level up messages when I was swimming .


“Ah, Haru-san . Help with Carol’s clothes next . ”


Carol took off her clothes too .


… Why am I being nervous for?


Right, thinking about it, Haru, Carol and I are in that relationship and I have seen their naked bodies countless times . There was nothing to be ashamed of .


I thought to myself as I glanced at Haru and Carol’s naked bodies but that was when our eyes met .


“We can’t dry our clothes before drying master’s clothes . ”


“It would be bad if master catches a cold . ”


I knew it was bad news when the two of them drew closer while naked .


“Wa-wait . I just entered cold water so it shrunk ― Hey, Haru-san ― Carol-san ― . ”


And so a small accident happened ― it was really a small accident . I’d rather they don’t take off a man’s clothes after he entered cold water ― and we had apparently reached the lowest floor of the dungeon .


We were in front of the boss room . The door to the boss room was open and we could see the interior .


I could sense the presence of a monster but there was only a thin tree inside, without any visible enemy .


“Are you ready?”


“”Yes . ””


Haru and Carol replied in sync and we stepped forward together .


The door to the boss room closed .


We could no longer escape . Well, we don’t intend to anyway .


” ― I thought it was a plant monster but I guess I was wrong . ”


According to Plant Appraisal, that tree was called a Gourd Tree .


It was a plant that was present on Earth as well that bears gourd fruits .


However, there were no gourd fruits now .


But as I had that thought .


A large gourd suddenly swelled from the Gourd Tree .


The way it swelled was abnormal .


“Enemy presence, it’s that!”


It seemed that this monster parasitizes trees .


” ― !”


The mimic gourd fruit exploded . At the same time, the seeds within it scattered .


“Ice!”


I created an ice wall in front of us and protected our bodies from the seeds .


Just what kind of boss was this, suddenly blowing itself up .


That said, that was dangerous . It was strong enough to cause cracks on my ice wall . It would have probably hurt if I got hit by it squarely .


“Wait ― eh!?”


The enemy presence suddenly increased!?


I could immediately tell the reason .


The seeds had instantly turned into the shape of gourds .


All the seeds that were scattered by the explosion .


That’s strange! Gourds are formed by budding, the seeds don’t directly turn into fruits .


By any chance would all the gourds explode again?


“Master!”


“Guh, this is the most troublesome to date . ”


If the numbers just keep growing, how could we deal with it?


Was my first action wrong?


Who would be able to clear such a boss?


“It’s strange, Ichino-sama!”


“What is!”


“From what Carol heard, the boss of this dungeon is a large snake . There isn’t such a monster . ”


“Ha!? … Maybe . ”


“Yes, maybe this dungeon has two kinds of bosses . ”


Because we used the shortcut, we arrived at the other boss room . So that’s the reason .


“All right, slash!”


I’ll attack before it explodes!


I used Slash on the gourd .


It hit ― a small explosion unlike before happened and its seeds scattered .


I guess I can’t break them either!


I couldn’t imagine Carol’s Charm working on a plant opponent either .


The other gourds would explode at this rate .


Should I burn them? I felt that burning them might cause an even larger explosion but I guess I’ll try .


“Ichino-sama! Look at this . ”


Carol pointed at the ice wall .


The cracked ice wall .


What about it?


“The seeds in the ice wall didn’t become fruits . ”


“Now that you mention it ―”


I looked around .


It wasn’t just the seeds embedded in ice . The seeds that fell near the ice wall did not become gourds .


The seeds need a certain temperature to turn into fruits .


Their weakness was ice .


“I don’t really get it but I guess it’s time for Ice Magic! Ice Rain . ”


I excluded our surroundings and caused ice rain to fall all around us ― the surrounding temperature dropped .


― Co-cold .


But the effect was apparent .


The gourds that had swelled and were about to burst had all stopped moving .


It looked like the explosions have stopped .


But the door to the Goddess room didn’t open .


(What does this mean? But the frozen gourds no longer give off enemy presence ―)


I used Presence Detection .


Other enemies ― Hn?


There was one presence .


What? From the Gourd Tree?


“There!”


Haru released a Slash .


A tree branch was sliced off ― and a monkey with a gourd on its back fell to the ground .


So even monkeys can fall from trees …


The monkey was carrying a golden gourd on its back .


No, the monkey and golden gourd was a single monster .


“It seems that you are the boss ― you made me do quite some work! Slash!”


The Slash I released cut the monkey and the gourd in half .


The large tree and gourds in the boss room disappeared while the golden gourd on the monkey’s back turned into a drop item along with a magic stone .


I leveled up as well .


Leaving that aside, a monkey and a golden gourd huh?


That sounds like a combination I heard about somewhere .


I’ll check my log later regarding my level and focus on checking the requested item first .


The golden gourd didn’t mean that it was made of gold .


It seemed to be a plant that shined golden .


“I hope this golden gourd doesn’t explode as well?”


There was a lid on the gourd with the words ‘Golden Wine’ written on it .


Taking off the lid, I smelled the stink of alcohol .


“Ichinojo-sama . This is the drop item of this dungeon’s boss but will it be all right? It is a different boss from expected . ”


“It’s a request to display our ability anyway . I guess it should be fine? This magic stone is a lot larger compared to other small fry monsters so it will do and can serve as proof that we defeated a boss . More importantly, let’s proceed . ”


I said and stepped toward the Goddess Statue .


Minerva-sama’s Goddess Statue was enshrined there .


And there was a door separate from the door we entered by .


(I’m bad with Minerva-sama . )


The other time I met her with Miri, she tried to kill herself every time she spoke .


Well, according to Miri, she won’t actually kill herself so it won’t be a problem . In fact, just because I pray here doesn’t mean that I would be transported to the Goddess-sama space as always .


“All right, let’s pray . ”


I said and the three of us prayed together .
