I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~

Chapter 34. The 4th Floor: Re-Challenge (1)

“Woohoo! Musou-senpai, you’re late!”

“That’s right, Musou-san! Hurry, hurry!”

When I arrived at the meeting place in front of the dungeon about 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, Yuzuki and Kodachi-san, who was waiting for me there, called me unreasonably.

No, it’s still before the meeting time.

Are you elementary school students having fun on the morning of the day of a field trip?

As I parked my bike, Yuzuki rushed over and tackled me.

I didn’t fall, but I staggered.

“Whoa! Hey, you, you ……!”

“Senpai! What’s with your holiday dad-like attitude after making two pretty maidens like us wait!”

“No, even if I keep you waiting, it’s still earlier the time. And putting Kodachi-san aside, I don’t want to put you in the pretty maiden category. Conceptually, I reject it.”

“Duuh, what’s with that? Or rather, your tension is low, Senpai! I’ll raise it even more!”

“It’s not the first time I’ve been feeling low.”

“I guess you’re right.”

Yuzuki was satisfied with the situation and lowered the tension to normal.

This guy is fine from early morning.

After preparing as usual, Kodachi-san, Yuzuki, and I went into the dungeon.

We used the magic circle to move into the dungeon and headed for the lower level.

“So, Yumizuki, I think we’ll go to the 4th floor today.”

“Ooooo. I heard from Kazane-san just now.”

“Good. The 1st floor is the one that Kodachi-san and I could not conquer. It is no exaggeration to say that whether or not we can conquer the 4th floor depends on your two shoulders, Yuzuki.”

“Gokurikku, ……. The world’s fate is in my hands.”

“No, not at all. It’s not like that.”

“I know.”

By the way, Yuzuki’s equipment has also been strengthened.

With the income she earned from her previous dive, she bought leather armor, which she wore.

She will reduce some of the damage from the goblin archer’s ranged attacks.

In addition, Yuzuki also uses the short bow that we got from yesterday’s dive.

Her main method of attack is magic, but there will be times when she wants to conserve her magical power.

When I thought that, the turn came soon.

Before reaching the stairs to the lower level, we encountered a kobold on the 1st floor.

“There it is, kobold! I’m going to make you rust with my bow and arrow. I don’t even need to use [Fire Bolt].”

Saying this, Yuzuki began to attack with her bow and arrow.

However, although Yuzuki skillfully used bows and arrows for the first time, it was undeniably lacking in power.

She hit the kobold with one arrow, but it didn’t kill him.

He hit the kobold with one arrow, but it didn’t kill him.

“I can’t help it.”

Kodachi-san and I go into cover and push back the attacking kobolds.

Yuzuki shot her second shot, but the kobold dodged it.

In the end, Kodachi and I fought off the kobold, and Yuzuki’s third shot finally defeated it.

“Ugh… I found out that it’s kinda annoying with a bow and arrow.”

Yuzuki, who defeated one kobold after many troubles, dropped her shoulders in dejection.

Yuzuki’s status and skills are specialized in magic, and her physical attacks are weak.

While descending the stairs to the 2nd floor that I eventually arrived at, I asked Yuzuki a question.

“Yuzuki, I think you’re pretty close to leveling up. Considering your current kobold’s experience points, how many more days until your next leveling up?”

“Hmm, since I’m in (117/130), I’ll need 13 more experience points until I level up to the next level.”

“Two goblins or one hobgoblin will get you there. You need to raise one more level before we go to the 4th floor.”

As I was thinking this, we encountered a hobgoblin in the first battle of the 2nd floor.

I step forward, readied my shield and spear, and told Yuzuki, who was in the rear guard.

“First, I’ll put in a blow! Yuzuki finish it with [Fire Bolt]! 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

“Got it!”

“I don’t have a chance.”

Kodachi-san crouched and was a little timid.

I’ll have onee-chan work a lot from here on out, so don’t worry.

A monster with a bigger physique than me raises its sword and attacks.

I managed to endure that attack with my shield and took advantage of the opportunity to land a blow with my long spear.

My spear’s tip pierced the hobgoblin’s chest and went through to the monster’s back.

I immediately pulled it out and jumped away from the spot.

“Right now, Yuzuki, [Fire Bolt]—what?”

The hobgoblin disappeared in a black haze, leaving only the magic stone behind.

What?

Did this mean I killed the hobgoblin with a single blow?

Not Kodachi-san, but me?

From behind, I can hear my kouhai’s quiet voice.

“Senpai~, I don’t have any hobgoblins left~.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. It was out of the calculation.”

I had upgraded my weapon to a long spear and acquired [Spear Attack Power Up (+8)], and it seems that my attack power had increased to the point where I could kill a hobgoblin instantly.

However, in subsequent battles, there were not many times I could defeat a hobgoblin with a single blow.

Even with attacks from monsters, you will receive damage from the same monster with the same defense power, and sometimes it will be 5 points of damage, and at other times it will be 7 points of damage, and there will fluctuate within a certain range.

The same thing happens when we attack a monster.

The batt;e results this time seem to be a case of good luck (bad luck?).

But in any case, it would not have happened if I had not improved my strength.

I felt that I was steadily getting stronger.
