Chapter 48: Sayuki's Daily Life (Four)

Original: Chapter 48: Sayuki’s Daily Life 4

I returned home.

I unzipped my tracksuit and took it off. I took off my skirt, too. Now I was just in my cute bra and black tights.

“Hmm… I’m going to take a bath soon anyway, so maybe I don’t need to change into loungewear.”

Carrying my change of clothes and my smartphone, I went to the changing area. The bath was already drawn.

I unhooked my bra.

My breasts, freed after half a day, bounced happily.

“Ahh~, this moment might be the most refreshing part of my day.”

The feeling of liberation from the constraints of daily life is wonderful.

I tossed my bra into the washing machine. Next, I took off my black tights and panties.

Naked, I took my smartphone and got into the bath.

First, I showered to clean my body. I washed carefully from under my chest. Then, I took my time meticulously caring for my hair.

Phew, I got every nook and cranny clean. I lifted my legs and slipped into the bathtub.

“Uuh… This is bliss.”

I stretched out limply in the warm water. Ahh, uhh, my body and mind feel like they’re melting into the warmth of the water.

I lounged like that for about three minutes.

“Oh, right. I should look up the Raging Orc.”

I tapped my smartphone and opened a Dungeon strategy site. Let’s see, what does it say…

“‘The recommended conquest level for the Raging Orc is 80.’ Just like Miss Rilril said.”

My level was 44, so that was beyond reckless.

“‘The Raging Orc is a wall-like Monster for beginners blocking the early part of the Red Zone. Nicknamed the Beginner Killer. While its body is small for a Monster in the Red Zone, if you carelessly challenge it at a low level, you won’t just have a bad time—you’ll be instantly killed.'”

Scary… It seems many have fallen prey to it…

“‘It has an extremely aggressive personality and will almost certainly attack if it spots a human. It seems to particularly like women and will try to eat them alive, so be cautious.'”

It tried to eat me too, didn’t it? But, that very moment also presented a big opening. It was precisely by exploiting that opening and dealing massive damage that I managed a major reversal.

“‘Unusually for a Monster, it wields a Weapon, giving it a fairly wide attack range. Moreover, its Attack Power is quite high, enough to dent a metal shield.'”

It can dent a metal shield…

I had my bone broken in one hit. That hurt.

“‘Its Defense Power is quite high. An ordinary Sword can only cut its skin shallowly. Cheap blunt Weapons will have their impact completely absorbed by its thick fat. Don’t be stingy; buy and equip a high-quality Weapon.'”

My Hammer was able to deal damage, right?

That Hammer was something I got for free from Miss Rilril, but maybe it was actually quite a good one? She said it was leftover stock, but perhaps she was actually worried about me and made sure I had something good.

“Miss Rilril…”

I’m constantly indebted to Miss Rilril. I should probably be even more grateful. I hope someday I can repay the favor. When I become a more accomplished Dungeon Conqueror, I’ll definitely—

I continued reading.

“‘As for the conquest method, the Raging Orc’s head is relatively fragile, so it’s good to target that. Its Weapon-based attacks are troublesome, but conversely, its over-reliance on its Weapon is this Monster’s weakness. After a Weapon-based attack, an opening always appears, so surround it with multiple people and crush its head in one go.'”

…I see.

If I have to fight it again, I’ll focus on targeting its head. Next time, I want to defeat it without taking any damage. I already understand its movements.

I put down my smartphone. I looked at the bathroom ceiling.

“I’m starting to want to fight in the Dungeon again.”

A shiver, a shiver… I can feel my Fighting Instinct welling up.

I wish tomorrow would come sooner. I want to go to the Dungeon again.

It seems I’m liking the Dungeon more and more. I strongly felt that.

I came to school. Since my blazer being mended will be ready after school, I plan to spend today in my tracksuit.

The red-haired girl who bought the Potion from me for 100,000 Pon yesterday is looking at me. Our eyes met for just a second, and she went “Tch” or something.

She seems pretty angry. But, her friend who was nearly dead has recovered well enough to come to school, so I think that’s a good thing, you know?

Lunch break arrived.

I headed to the school store to buy some bread.

More and more students were gathering. If I don’t hurry and choose, the good ones might be gone. I thought I’d buy one extra today. It would be embarrassing if my stomach growled during class again.

…Huh? Just now, I faintly sensed an air like cherry blossom petals dancing in the wind.

Someone had just run past me.

Their movements were more dazzling than anyone else’s. Also, they smelled incredibly good.

“Huh? Huh? Huh—”

I only saw them for an instant, but weren’t they unbelievably beautiful…? Did such a beautiful person exist in this world? If someone told me an angel had descended to earth, I’d probably believe it.

I couldn’t help but stop and turn around.

That person was running gracefully, like flower petals dancing in the wind.

Even just their back was overwhelmingly beautiful. They seemed to shine brilliantly, as if loved by heaven. Because of that, everyone was turning to look at that beautiful person.

Ah, but they’ve caught the eye of a scary-looking male teacher.

“Hey—! I’m always telling you not to run in the halls—!”

“Haha—. Sorry, sorry. I’ll be careful from now on, so let it slide—”

Even their voice was beautiful. It made me want to hear more.

“You’re not planning to go to the Dungeon again, are you? I’ve told you so many times—”

“Yeah, worrying is pointless—”

“Let me lecture you properly!”

“No way—”

“Then maybe next time we should have a meeting with your parents?”

“Don’t do that—. If you do, I’ll never speak to you again.”

“What a pain.”

“Haha, well teacher, lunch break is short, so I’m off now—”

With ninja-like speed, they vanished in an instant.

“Ah, hey, I’m not done talking. Damn it.”

The teacher didn’t give chase. He was just irritated, so a separate lecture might be coming.

I walked to the bakery.

While choosing bread, I thought.

“Going to the Dungeon during lunch break…”

That’s hardcore among the hardcore. But, I think I understand the feeling.

“Maybe someday I’d like to talk to that person.”

I bet the conversation would flow. I love the Dungeon too, after all.

And also—. What is this, this warm feeling? Somehow, I felt like my world was about to expand more and more from now on. I’m sure going to the Dungeon is going to become even more enjoyable.

I bought three loaves of my favorite bread at the bakery and returned to the classroom.

I could see the Dungeon from the window. I want to go soon, too. My body is itching to go.

I might not be able to concentrate in afternoon classes like this. I’ll probably be thinking about the Dungeon the whole time—

Thank you very much for reading so much—!How did you enjoy Sayuki’s story? I would be very happy if you found it entertaining.

As for the continuation of the story, I will be taking a break for a few days to catch up on revisions before posting again.

I still have a bit more in stock, so if you’d like, please continue to enjoy Sayuki’s tale.
