A College Girl Calls Her Friends
Serai Machi was a cute and interesting girl.
Her personality was cheerful and well-spoken. She also had a little, or maybe a lot, of a good-natured charm. I also like her good humor and ended up taking on the instructor role for no pay.
The next day, I went out again to sell magic stones.
I wanted to sell as many magic stones as I could while I could sell them at a high price. However, the number of magic stones I sold at one time seemed too much, so I reduced the amount I asked for at one store to 1/3 of what I used to sell
I also decided to remove the store where Serai-san works from my shopping course. I got to know Serai-san well enough to exchange contact information with her. We were only acquaintances, but we were still coaches and instructors.
However, it would be bad if the information that I have a secret dungeon leaked from this relationship. If I were to go out and sell the magic stones every day, they'll get suspicious. And they would probably ask me which dungeon I hunt. Yes, I should find a dummy dungeon to hunt in while I'm at it.
Still, it was a great accomplishment for me to make the acquaintance of a cute college girl. The only time I usually interacted with a woman was when I get a change from a receipt.
Anyway, I rode off on my bike feeling good, and after about three hours, I had about 150,000 yen in cash. It's less than before, but 150,000 yen a day is like a dream come true. On the way home, I went to a spinning sushi restaurant and ate a lot of my favorite sushi, and in the afternoon, I prepared to dive into the dungeon.

"Han, sobbing at the smell of monkey poop! Acid!""""
""""Uggy! Ugyagya!"""""
Fed up with the swarms of shitty monkeys throwing poop at me in the 6th basement level, we fight to move to the 7th floor. I don't want to deal with these monkeys, but I need to go through them to get down to the lower floors. Besides, these shitty monkeys are the ones who drop the [Space] skill orb, so I defeat all the low-life monkeys that attack me.
"You ape! Bullet Shot!"
"""Ugyagyagya"
"Ugiiiiiiiii!"
"Mucus rope! Bullet Shot, you little monkey!"
I capture the shitty monkey that leaps at me in the gap with his torimochi-shaped mucus, and then spins around like a hammer throw, knocking it back into the crowd of lowly monkeys.
"""Ugiyagyuar!""""
["Bofufufuun!"]
"HuhI won. Hmm, that was a skill orb! Lucky."
A [Space] skill orb dropped from one of the shitty monkeys, which bounced off like a bowling pin and turned into smoke with the Un'un monkey hammer throw.
["Kyuwa~, pah~!"]
Skills.
[Strong Acid], [Super Agility], [Disease Resistance 5], [Snatch], [Mucus 2], [Space 2], [Luck 3]
Yeah, I'm now at level 2 of [Space]. At this rate, let's keep raising [Luck] on the seventh underground layer.
["Doh! Gasp! Dos! Gah-gah!"]]
"Ha! pff! Hoo!"
On the 7th floor, I first fight a fighting frog to hone our melee fighting skills. Since Serai-san took Katsuo-kun's bat, I brought an iron bamboo spear as a weapon, but instead of using it, I'm fighting with my bare hands.
I am originally a short geek with a little more physical strength than I look. Naturally, I have no experience in martial arts. However, I did train my body to avoid escalating bullying at school. I would imitate the main characters in fighting manga who trained their bodies, just like an otaku.
And now, I realize that I lack experience in actual combat. In other words, I am not used to fighting.
That's why I've been fighting with a cunning tactic that focuses on efficiently defeating monsters, such as smashing slime into chlorine. However, if I only rely on such tactics and skills, I will be out of luck when they don't work.
In other words, if I can only use dirty tricks, I'll lose my power, or so they would say.
The battle with the king cockroach is just that. The fact that I could defeat that runaway truck-like king cockroach was like I was lucky enough to disconnect the battery cord, and it just happened to stop. That kind of luck will not last.
That is why it is necessary to repeat fighting frogs and close combat in the seventh underground layer and have enough nerve.
"Gekkooooooo!"
["Bewon! Gaki!)"]
"Kuh!"
A fighting frog hit me with a taido-like kick.
As I bent down and turned backward, a sharp kick that almost shattered my jaw extended out from under its feet with great force. I crossed my arms to catch it and flew backward to escape the impact.
Thank goodness. Fighting frogs fight using a wide variety of fighting techniques. Since its physique is not so different from that of humans, it is the perfect opponent to build up his fighting spirit.
"Now it's my turn! Take it, low kick! (Bish!)"
"Gekko!"
However, the fighting frog has one weakness.
Its eyes are above its head, so it cannot see if it's attacked in the feet or body. That is why the fighting frogs lean forward so much that their bodies are abnormally rounded.
However, once the frog's upper body is up, it's mine. After a painful body blow to its white belly, the fighting frog collapses, its cheeks puffing up like balloons, and it disappears in a puff of smoke.
Phew, the battle between the monster frog-man vs. the monster bug-man ended in victory for the bug-man.
"Hmmwhat is this? Is it a scroll?"
The fighting frog disappeared in a puff of smoke, and a drop appeared.
However, there was an unfamiliar roll of paper. It was not the kind of thing Goemon, who summons monster frogs, would have in his mouth, but a scroll of parchment rolled up and tied with hemp twine. In Western terms, it is like a scroll.
"Hmmm, this is the first drop I've seen. And it's the first time I've seen an item drop instead of a material drop."
I untied the string and unfolded the parchment to find that it was written in unfamiliar characters, and as I expected, I couldn't make out what it said. But there is a circular pattern in the center, surrounded by what looks like letters. It's like a collection of letters written on colored paper.
"Is this a magic scroll? I don't think it's a message sent to a classmate who's transferred to another school!"
Yes, I'm excited by the fantasy element, which I haven't seen in a while.
But what is it? I have no idea what kind of magic scroll it is. And there is no such thing as zero possibility for anything. "Bye-bye, Kerota! Take care even if you have to change schools!" I put the scroll away in the storage room.
When I returned to my room from the refrigerator dungeon, I found a message from Serai-san on my communication terminal. I received another thank-you message that evening, so this was the second message I had received from her. It was exciting to receive a message from a girl.
When I checked the content of the message, it was a simple message such as, "Please teach me again this Sunday.". Yes, very clerical. I thought, "You could have used a cuter emoji or something like that," but I heard that Serai-san sometimes left parties because he didn't want to flirt, so I guess that's part of the reason she was so cautious. Well, it was obvious that she only wanted me to coach her.
So I said, "Okay, I understand. Please keep your body fit to the extent that it's not too strenuous," which was my safe and coach-like reply.
.
Then. In the morning, I went to sell magic stones, and in the afternoon, I went to the dungeon to fight fighting frogs to build up my fighting spirit.
Skills
[Strong Acid], [Super Agility], [Disease Resistance 5], [Snatch], [Mucus 2], [Space 2], [Luck 9]
The level has not risen, but I also defeated a lot of tadpoles in the 7th underground layer, so my skill [Luck] has risen to level 9.
However, since I had been doing such things for a long time, I was dressed in a pollywog suit to instruct today. I was thinking of dressing more like a coach, but I never got around to it. And more importantly, if I could see her face, it would be easy for her to know where I was looking.
But, I was going to meet a cute girl, and a pollyanna suit might be a bit embarrassing.
But in the dungeon, wearing a Bug King Suit that completely envelops my entire body gives me a sense of security. And since Serai-san has already seen me in that outfit, it's too late.
I'm sure she'll be more comfortable with me dressed the same way I was before, rather than being weirdly conscious of it and trying to look cool. I told myself that, got on my bike, and headed to the meeting place.
However, there were two other women there in addition to Serai-san.
"Ah, Ezuki-san! Good morning!"
In the bright sunlight, Serai-san smiled brightly and waved at me. Her swaying white, cool one-piece dress dazzled my eyes. That's fine.
"Good morning. Ah, um, who are you two?"
"They are my friends! I'm looking forward to teaching them both today."
"Thank you very much."
I was puzzled, but Serai-san nonchalantly asked me to teach them too. The two women greeted each other with smiles.
A college called her friends.
Hmmm, this is unexpected.
