Chapter 29. Get Tangled With Annoying Kouhai
We arrived at the 2nd floor.
This floor is going to be our main place to explore today.
The first monster we encountered after descending to the 2nd floor was a single goblin.
I don’t even think a single goblin is a serious enemy anymore.
When I first explored the 2nd floor, I had a pretty hard time defeating it.
“──[Fire Bolt]!”
The goblin got hit by a magic attack from Yuzuki at the beginning of the encounter.
The goblin tried to evade, but it was not in time, and the magic flame hit the guy’s body beautifully.
The goblin’s entire body burst into flames, but then the flames dissipate.
The goblin did not turn into a magic stone but attacked Yuzuki.
Kobolds are good, but she couldn’t kill a goblin with a single blow.
“I couldn’t beat it, ……!”
Yuzuki once again let the red phosphorescence cover her body.
But the goblin’s attack seemed to be quicker than Yuzuki could unleash her next magic.
“That’s where onii-chan comes in.”
“Oh, onii-chan…..!”
I stepped forward into a position to protect Yuzuki and stood in front of the goblin with my shield at the ready.
Then I parried the goblin’s attack with my shield and pushed the goblin back with another shield attack.
Then Yuzuki’s second Fire Bolt was released, and the goblin, once again engulfed in flames, was extinguished this time and turned into a magic stone.
“Oh onii-chan, you scared me! I’m saved!”
“Good, good. You were scared, otouto.”
“Damn it. You never leave your otouto antics no matter what, do you?”
“Give up on that.”
I pat Yumizuki on the head as he jumped into my chest.
Kodachi-san looked at Yuzuki and me with a complicated expression.
Well, let’s leave it at that.
“This is your third [Fire Bolt] shot, huh? Yuzuki, how many MP do you have left?”
The MP consumption of [Fire Bolt] is 3, and my maximum MP is 30, so the remaining MP is 21.
But?
“It looks like my level has increased… [status open]”
“Oh!”
After leveling up, Yumizuki gets [MP Up (Magic x 4)].
Because of the increase in magical power from the level-up itself, the maximum MP was quickly blasted up.
Yuzuki Hotaru
Level: 2 (+1)
Experience: 11/30
HP: 21/21 (+3)
MP: 35/44（+14)
Strength: 5

-Skills-.
[Fire Bolt]
[MP Up (Magic x 4)]
Remaining skill points : 0
Kodachi-san comes over and takes a quick peek at Yuzuki’s status.
“Wow ……, your current MP has increased from before.”
“Our perpetual machine is amazing.”
“It’s only the first time, no matter what you think. Don’t waste your time shooting.”
“Yes, sir!”
And so, we dared to raise Yuzuki’s level.
Two hours after descending to the 2nd floor, Yuzuki’s level had risen to 3.
Shwe gained the skill [HP Up (Endurance x 4)].
By the way, there is one small story during this time.
After realizing there was no need for Kodachi-san and me to be with Yuzuki, we changed our policy to split into two parties to earn money.
Yuzuki and I would work in a two-person party, and Kodachi-san would work solo and separately.
Kodachi-san said, “I’ll miss being solo, but I’ll endure it just for now!” and left the party with her hair pulled back.
Kodachi-san’s motivation for forming a party might be, “I’m lonely when I’m solo.”
On the other hand, I’m people with Yuzuki. And I was mentally attacked by my arrogant kouhai.
“───So, how are things going with Kazane-san, Musou-senpai?”
“How, what do you mean, Kouhai Yuzuki?” 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵
“Of course, brother. This is it, that is it.”
Yuzuki with a smile, held up her pinky finger to show it to me.
Koyu, koyubi, koyubito, koyibito, and koibito (lovers). How old are you to know this kind of symbol?
“I don’t know what you are talking about. I’m just partying with Kodachi-san as a seeker. Don’t make unnecessary assumptions.”
“You know what I mean. I mean, are you seriously saying that?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m sure you like Kazane-san, don’t you?”
“…. This has nothing to do with you.”
“Senpai, are you too good at lying?”
Shut up.
We live by honesty, you know.
But Yuzuki shakes her head in sorrow.
“Oh, dear. As expected of a loser senpai and a slacker onii-chan.”
“If you’re going to pick a fight, I’ll leave you in the dungeon alone.”
“I don’t want you to get angry, handsome senpai.”
“Okay, bye.”
“Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait!”
Yuzuki chased after me as I started walking at a fast pace.
That might be the first time I felt depressed by Yuzuki’s annoyance.
“Hey, senpai. Why are you so in denial? You’re scared? Then, no, it’s nothing.”
This guy was trying to stir things up again.
She’s got a habit of stirring things up against me, and I don’t think it’s good.
“No, you know what? Kodachi-san asked me to party with her as a seeker.”
“Mm-hmm, so?”
“No, [So?] you brat. If I, uh, what?… If I wanted a relationship beyond that, it would be a nuisance to Kodachi-san.”
“Hmm, I don’t know what you’re saying, though. I understand now why the senpai is a loner.”
“You’re just badmouthing me. Can I hit you?”
“I don’t want you to point a spear at me when you ask me if you can hit me.
“I mean, if you’re going to call that being loner, what about you? Do you have a boyfriend or something?”
Yuzuki frowned as I fired back at her.
“For a senpai, you hit on a painful spot…Yeah, yeah, that’s right. That’s what senpai said. It’s my loss. Just being swollen in love isn’t the way people live. ”
“You’re so cocky. From how you said [You’re just a senpai], I know how you look at me.”
“Oh, ……. I’m not. Onii-chan, don’t get angry~.”
From then on, we continued our dungeon exploration, continuing our usual exchange of otherworldly conversation.
It was sometime later that we met up with Kodachi-san.
