Chapter 38.1
Flash Excalibur!
A futon has arrived.
It's not the dubious one that was sent along with a fire extinguisher. It was something I had researched, compared with other things, and decided to purchase after careful examination.
"(Crispy…Bee~~~!…Paka!) Whoa! This looks good!!"
What I purchased was a luxury down comforter that I found on the direct sales website of a well-known comforter manufacturer. The site provided a detailed explanation of the futon and included testimonials with evaluations.
The deciding factor was, of course, the buyers' opinions. Most of the buyers gave it high marks, saying they were glad they bought it, and even one man who gave it a low rating commented, "It felt so good I couldn't get up.".
I've always wanted to buy a new futon, too. It's not big enough to wash, and I was so busy as an office worker that I didn't have time to dry it properly.
But now I can sleep even better. Besides, I'm hoping that Ruha, who has become my girlfriend, will come to my house when she comes…or not. Hee hee hee.
I don't intend to invite anyone to my room when my refrigerator is in a dungeon.
So, I won't get rid of the futon I've been using. I spread out the cardboard boxes that had been used to pack the luxury down quilts that had arrived and set up a napping space next to the simple base [Oyasan] in the front room of the dungeon.
With this, I could improve my quality of life and expand my dungeon base. It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

And then, without my knowing it, my skill [Strong Acid] went from no number to 1.1. I had not killed a single monster in the past two days.
The next day after hard muscle training, I drank a lot of protein, which is the base of muscle, and rested my body without moving it so that super recovery would occur. Yes, after a good workout, I need to take in good nutrition and rest my body. That's important.
The next day, I took it very seriously and went out to sell magic stones, but didn't dive into the dungeon. Instead, he spent the afternoon working on his motorcycle. I have money, so I can ask a bike store to do it for me, but I prefer to take care of my car.
First, I changed the oil, removed rusty steel parts, and cleaned the rust. After that, I washed and waxed my beloved 400cc motorcycle to make it shine. I'm sure there will be times when I'll have to take Ruu out on the bike with me on the back.
But then, [Strong acid] skill level went up is that I removed rusted steel parts and removed the rust. To remove rust, you wash it with acid. This dissolves the rust and makes it brittle, making it easy to remove. So, to wash the rusted iron parts, I washed them with acid generated by my skill.
In other words, because I increased my proficiency my skill leveled up. Since I didn't defeat the slime or use the skill orb, I'm almost certain that's not that.
"Mmmm…skills also increase in level with proficiency and mastery. In other words, the more you use it, the better. So far the only skill I've self-learned is [Snatch], but I wonder if other skills can be self-learned… it would be interesting to try out many of them."
I have been researching this on the internet, but there is much unclear information on skills. That's because people who have never dived in a dungeon are talking about their knowledge from games as if it were true, and people like me who have acquired the skill are withholding information, which is probably why the investigation is slow.
But of course, I wouldn't do anything to lose my advantage for the sake of the world. If you get bullied during your adolescent years, when your personality is just beginning to form, you will have a sense that everyone is an enemy except you etched into your mind.
The national government has not yet indicated a clear policy. Two major problems are plaguing the country.
The one that's worried about is the stampede of monsters pouring out of dungeons. Since dungeons have sprung up all over the place, human society would be in serious trouble if this were to happen.
The only way to combat this is for people to go into the dungeons and become stronger, but there is no clear plan to manage these stronger people in the country.
Therefore, in preparation for emergencies, the government is strengthening the Self-Defense Forces in the dungeons and opening some dungeons to the public to see how things go.
So I don't know how things will turn out, so I'll keep our dungeon a secret.
Oh, by the way, after removing the rust with acid, I need to neutralize it by soaking it in an alkaline detergent, or else the acid from washing will cause the iron to rust even more.
