Chapter 194

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

The seventh floor represented the pinnacle of human achievement. The overcast sky and the bald trees created an eerie entrance to this hellish place. Of course, not all trees were leafless. However, when bare trees exceeded half of the area, it became unsettling. Here, it felt like sixty percent were bald. Crows even flew overhead.

According to Onee-san’s information, green ogres appeared here. Not ogres exactly, but oni. They were massive, horned, with fangs for teeth, and bare-chested. To be fair, they wore proper trousers, which was commendable.

For Muze’s upbringing, exposure to undergarments would be inappropriate. If they wore only underwear, I would not hesitate to annihilate them. Here, the ‘Dobby’ and ‘Redcap’ that had underperformed on the sixth floor due to the fog appeared together.

Dungeon-san, have you perhaps miscalculated the difficulty? The change in conditions seems extreme.

“Ah! Were we hit!?” (Emilia)

“…Mira, handle that one.” (Sofia)

It appeared that Emilia and Sofia had already been affected. The crows were not merely flying. They occasionally defecated from above.

“S-Sofia, calm down… You brought the cloth, right? Use it to clean, okay?” (Mira)

Mira recoiled at Sofia’s enraged voice. The tone demanded that Mira fire, and even the party felt the terror in Sofia’s anger. Emilia was sulking, and Sofia furious. Already, the situation mirrored the ominous sky above.

“Oh my, the young lady who has never changed a diaper is having trouble, isn’t she?” (Adelaide)

“Enough whining, you girls.” (Emilia)

Emilia pouted, and Sofia fell silent under Adelaide-senpai’s gaze. The queen had arrived.

“Both of you, direct that anger at the monsters ahead.” (Kouta)

I could not make Adelaide the villain, so I quickly formed words. It was also acceptable to vent our frustrations on the monsters. I exchanged eye contact with the others. Haruka, Mira, and Adelaide-senpai consented to allow the two forward. I felt a little flustered by Adelaide-senpai’s flirtatious wink but continued the exploration.

Along the way, we vented on the green oni while dodging attacks from the crows. As expected of the seventh floor, each encounter was challenging. It was time to insert the advertisement for recruiting explorers. Hesitating, we continued until suddenly reaching a clearing in the forest.

“What shall we do? There are so many crows.” (Mira)

I glared forward, determined to act.

“Adelaide-senpai, draw their attention firmly and then, use Pain.” (Kouta)

“Understood!” (Adelaide)

She responded without a trace of the prior tension.

“Mira, the remaining monsters are yours.” (Kouta)

“Hehehe, is that so? Then I shall take center stage today.” (Mira)

Excellent expression! The supporting actress award goes to you!

“There is one crow that is my concern. Haruka, that one is yours.” (Kouta)

“Hey, Mira, do not hold it against me if I take the big one.” (Haruka)

Are you not changing when the camera starts? Even for a broadcast, you two are true entertainers.

“We do not know how many will fall, but you two will handle the small ones with me.” (Kouta)

“Roger!” (Haruka)

“Yes!” (Mira)

The difference in energy compared to the previous three was striking. You two need to perform more for the broadcast, together with me!

We all proceeded through the forest clearing. Gradually, the flock of crows in the sky ahead increased.

“Not yet.” (Kouta)

I raised my right hand, signaling Adelaide-senpai to hold. My left hand gripped my sword tightly as the flock continued to grow.

“What a number…” (Haruka)

There was no time to confirm who had spoken. The crows filled the sky above. The first crow began its descent toward us. I shouted.

“Now!!” (Kouta)

In perfect timing with my downward swing, Adelaide-senpai’s voice rang out.

“Direct Pain!” (Adelaide)

The sound was like a sudden downpour. The sky, filled with crows, emptied instantly as they were struck to the ground.
