**Day 42 Morning Downstream Village Dungeon**
What a refreshing morning—because last night felt amazing! Yeah, it was incredibly, wonderfully good, so today should be great too… or so I thought, but it was unpleasant!? Yeah, I forgot about the dungeon?
To be precise, it's not just unpleasant—the discomfort index is sky-high. Everywhere in the labyrinth is damp and sopping wet. A deadpan stare is fine, but this humid deadpan cling is the worst and not welcome at all?
"This dungeon doesn't just fail high-humidity countermeasures—drainage and ventilation are nonexistent too. I'd love to see the dungeon master's face, though they're probably dead already?"
They're likely already turned into a magic stone by now, so no face to see, and complaints probably won't be accepted from a stone.
The great labyrinth was way too big for living but built incredibly well.
The great labyrinth's dungeon master had an incredibly good face too.
And the body was also ama…
*Ahem ahem!* "I'm not thinking anything! Yeah, why are you drawing your sword? It's dangerous—wait, in a dungeon, drawing a sword is normal, but right now all monsters are magic stones, so no need for one?"
(Deadpan——)
The floors and stairs are flooded and slippery, making walking hard. No handrails at all—is there no dungeon building code here? Yeah, zero consideration for intruder safety. Slippery, high-risk falls everywhere—dangerous dungeon.
"This place scores rock-bottom on safety and comfort? Seriously, without more adventurer-friendly design, no one comes because it's too risky. Providing zero comfortable space, just soggy discomfort—neighbors hate it too. Terrible social skills for a dungeon king, honestly?"
I grumble endlessly, mutter endlessly, descend endlessly. Yeah, she's quiet?
I'm collecting magic stones, but they all look cheap. Still, we're broke—Committee Chair had to dip into savings for inn fees. Gotta collect even cheap ones!
But without treasure chests, potato bulk-buy left us in the red? I mean, we need potatoes, but still?
Wandering sopping wet and humid just to lose money. At least cover potato costs? Well, sweet potato mass sales raked in huge profits from price-gouging… but we spent it all?
I really didn't want to enter this damp, flooded dungeon, but I got sternly reminded to check properly.
Yeah, and explicitly banned from anything erotic inside too. Forced into it!
"Because if it's you, being sopping wet and drenched wouldn't be bad—in fact, it'd be… but I'm not doing it!? Haven't done it!? Someday lotion play… *ahem ahem!* Never mind. Let's head down!"
Yeah, stairs are slippery and dangerous, so sheathe the sword, okay?
But diving into such high humidity at 16—rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia? Skills would probably regenerate it, but the disease names sound bad for a young guy.
Finally reached 5F, but it's no fun. Going up, I can enjoy the view from behind, but down is boring. Helmet top is zero fun to look at! If helmet tip got exciting, that'd be problematic, but luckily it's not exciting at all.
"Something's on 6F below— what do we do? Ceiling collapse to crush it?"
"Impossible… gho, st?"
She shakes her head no while telling me. Ghost-san… probably ghost. Then physical attacks won't work—definitely not someone's house named Gosuto, no nameplate anyway?
Humidity kills motivation—I just want to ignore it and leave. Dungeon property worthless, treasure chests lame too. This 5F hidden room has 'Freeze Sword Ice Attribute (Small) PoW 10% Up SpE 10% Up'. Effects tiny—great labyrinth spoiled me; this is trash in comparison.
Still, even this might sell high. Actually, overpowered gear doesn't sell well—mid-tier sells better. Want good equipment, but also money, so it's fine? Profitable? But it's a dungeon?
"Isn't there a legendary-something classic development? Well, divine swords appear instantly and I already have one, so swords won't surprise me anymore. But I want weapons with epic backstory, hype intro scenes! Yeah, the world doesn't get excited over 'oh, divine sword lying there!' It needs 'only the chosen can pull it!' or something… nope?"
Considering our gear, swords and armor probably won't upgrade much more. Special skills would be nice, but (Small) ice? Pass. Rather need fire—because otakus powered up! None here?
Then 6F has "Phantom Lv6"—ghost, spirit, wraith, whatever the difference, not humanoid. What soul is this phantom? Armor Committee Chair switches to rapier in elegant stance, slices it apart blindingly fast… Can you physically cut souls!? Is that allowed!?
And what am I supposed to do? I meaningfully extend my 'Tree Staff?' to 2 meters, pose dramatically, prepare to air-walk stylishly… but it's already over by then. Maybe my role is just descending stairs? No spotlight for me?
Conclusion: Yeah, I'm apparently just the stair-descender? 7F hidden room already has monster magic stone traces, treasure chest 'Thunder Spear Lightning Attribute (Small) PoW 10% Up SpE 10% Up'—lame weapon. But sellable, should cover erotic clothes money—lots probably! Day-before-yesterday's full-back-open dress was great, yesterday's ultra-deep cleavage to navel dress was moving too. Great figure makes even erotic look cool? Yeah, got so moved and intense I overdid it and got cried-at angry? But high school boy—'Sexual Beast' and 'Insatiable' levels keep rising… can't help it?
Oh, 9F has hidden room and normal treasure chest in maze layer. Hidden room: 'Spike Mail Defense Up (Small) + ATT'. Showed it and she full-force rejected. Probably picks by looks?
Wearing this screams villain—full-body spiky metal, menacing, post-apocalyptic safe design, but creepy?
Maze passage lone chest: 'Earring Accessory (B-Class)'—barely equipment, but I'll gift it to Armor Committee Chair. Blue gem earring—should match super-slit blue dress perfectly, even without dress! Yeah, tonight's that slit dress decided. Alright, tonight we'll go hard—waist-up slits!!
Plus, earrings will suit her too. Beauty who's cute but stuck as skeleton, couldn't dress up. No problem splurging to make up for lost time.
Deeper floors, magic stones feel slightly better, but still F-rank range probably. F-rank is so broad, still don't know prices?
Magic stone prices crashed too—F+10 maybe 500k ele? Half previous value. Shortage inflated before; now stable supply prevents collapse. Hard to sell, so gear better for profit. Sadly, no erotic clothes or lingerie in dungeons… probably? If there were, I'd set up rest area inside!
