From the bronze treasure chest appeared a centipede’s armor.

(Hmm, pretty shabby.)

The equipment that appears after the 20th floor is mostly D-rank, so honestly, we don’t need any of it. The only use is to convert it into alchemy seeds and use it as material for other equipment.

“It’s slightly stronger than what Reina is wearing now. Want to equip it?”

Reina was still wearing the Knight series. Speaking of which, I had forgotten to ask what happened to that ancient sword. Reina hadn’t mentioned it, so it had slipped my mind. I’ll have to upgrade Reina’s equipment when we get back.

“Don’t bring that near me. It’s disgusting.”

With eyes as cold as ice, Reina insulted me. It was as if she were telling me to lick her shoes, or even worse. It gave me chills; Reina might have a queenly quality.

(Well, it’s not needed. I’ll just turn it into an alchemy seed.)

I handed it to Misuzu to store. She looked like she didn’t even want to touch the alchemy seed—was it really that bad? I don’t understand girls’ feelings.

The three of them, having defeated the mid-boss, headed to the 16th floor. The dense forest area continued. Compared to the earlier floors, the monsters seemed stronger.

“By the way, Reina, what happened to that ancient sword?”

“It was almost unusable, so I left it behind. The steel sword is still better.”

Reina, cutting through the insects with an emotionless face, answered. Her eyes were dead, but she was a brave hero. How gallant.

(It was almost unusable… I’ll have to check it out when we get back.)

“Misuzu, it’s hard to walk.”

“Senior, let’s clear this floor quickly and go home. To that beautiful house.”

Misuzu had been clinging to my clothes and trembling ever since the centipede. It must have really disgusted her.

(I want to take a bath too. I’m covered in that weird fluid.)

The enemies aren’t strong, but this is the most dreadful floor I’ve encountered. It’s no wonder many explorers can’t reach the 20th floor. While we’re fine, just imagining a tough fight against those insects gives me chills.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Kenya saw something and ran toward it. His eyes shone with the light of a child. He soon returned to Reina and the others, holding a shiny black insect-type monster.

“Look! Reina! Look at this big stag beet—”

“Fuh!”

“…Beet… Big stag beetle!!!”

He had caught a large stag beetle through brute force, but when he happily showed it to Reina, she instantly cut it in half.

The light faded from his eyes.

“What’s the difference between that and a cockroach? It’s disgusting. Don’t joke around.”

“I-I’m sorry…”

Kenya looked down at the bisected, twitching stag beetle on the ground. There was no need to get so mad…

Kenya’s excitement over the cool insect was met with constant disgust from the two girls. As they continued through the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors, they encountered similar insect monsters.

“Finally…”

They reached the 19th-floor boss room. In front of them stood a gigantic tree. Its size was so immense that it stretched up beyond their sight and was about 200 meters wide.

The massive tree had a door on it, similar to the floor they were on. They would likely have to fight inside the tree after opening the door.

“We finally made it to the boss room…”

“Quickly, let’s kill it. Wipe them out, Senior.”

“Kenya, depending on what it looks like, I might not be able to fight.”

Misuzu’s hatred was palpable. Reina, on the other hand, was on the verge of losing her will to fight.

“Sigh, well, I think I can handle it alone, so you two can just watch from behind.”

It was already 6 PM. I was starting to get hungry. Let’s finish this quickly and head home; Nana mentioned she would bring something back.

Kenya and the others opened the door.

And then, the two girls’ screams echoed.

Their screams resounded through the interior of the giant tree, and the monster above them noticed, turning its gaze toward them.

It probably saw us, but I’m not entirely sure, because…

…it had eight eyes.

“Noooo!!! Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!!!!!!”
