Chapter 111
Nihonium’s fifth floor, after defeating the last Red Skeleton, I picked up the seed .
The seed that was on the palm of my hand melted like a snowflake and disappeared .
[With this… . It’s finally S . ] (Ryouta)
I’ve already felt it previously that I was close to maxing the status out, so this morning while counting the amount of monsters I defeated, my status has finally reached to S .
After killing the newly emerged Red Skeleton, I went back to where I came .
After walking to the entrance, I stood in front of the K-I-A board .
There were no K-I-A board inside Nihonium, probably because it drops nothing hence everyone thinks it’s a shitty dungeon .
At least at the bare minimum, they placed a K-I-A board right in front of the dungeon which I was standing and operating it right this instance .
――――――1/2――――――― | |

Luck | F |
―――――――――――――――― |
The Red Skeletons at the fifth floor drops MP seeds which finally upped my MP to S .
This was now my 5th S . Initially all of them were F, but I finally have five of them becoming S .
It seemed like a long journey, but not really either .
I had other abilities up and gathering normal items and cheat items to help, which both had its easiness and difficulties .
… … It was done, but .
[I can’t seem to see the benefits of having MP . ] (Ryouta)
Wait that was a misunderstanding, what I was trying to say was I felt that having my MP maxing out did not give me any benefit .
I could feel the benefits of HP and Endurance even at an early stage, the overall damage being taken had drastically decreased and I could feel confident from being attacked by an ordinary monster as I would not die immediately .
I’ve also realised the benefits of Strength and Speed as I could fight without using a gun .
On the other hand, I don’t see a thing for MP .
The magic that I remembered having were two, Wind Cutter and Reservation .
Wind Cutter is a Level 1 wind magic, the very basic of the elementary magic .
On the other hand, Reservation is a magic that applies my drop S stats to any monster and anyone who defeats that monster would get an S drop drop .
For the former it was weak in general, and the latter is used only when facing strong enemies .
For different reasons, my magic had not much use .
Well, if I use Reservation, the effect is good .
In any case, I have used almost no magic and thus maxing MP to S had no benefits whatsoever .
[Should I buy… . . another Magic Fruit . ] (Ryouta)
☆
In the city of Shikuro, inside a Magical Tool Store .
I stared at the three Magic Fruits .
[I don’t know whether I have to remind you about such things . ]
Isaac, the store owner said so while bitterly smiling . .
[No matter how many times you look at it it’s useless . I understand your feelings of eating a Magic Fruit and learning a magic, but you won’t know what magic you get . ] (Isaac)
[… . . It might be . ] (Ryouta)
I was still gazing at the fruits to see whether there were any difference to it .
Buying one isn’t cheap either . If you managed to buy one and eat, you can learn one magic for just only 3 Million Piros, and it’s not as if I’m not gonna buy it, it’s just that I wasn’t in a hurry in buying it .
What’s more, even if I know I was buying it, I’m contemplating on which one I should buy as one costs a whopping 3 Million Piro .
[Well, I guess it’s fine to concentrate as long as you want until you decide to buy it . ] (Isaac)
Isaac turned his palm upward and shrugged his shoulders .
Perhaps there were other customers like me, thus he had gotten used to it .
[……Muuuu . ] (Ryouta)
I gazed at the Magic Fruit so much that a hole has opened from it .
I looked from the front then behind .
I looked at the side and look from top to bottom .
I gazed at it from all angles .
[——!] (Ryouta)
Suddenly, at that instant when I gazed at the three fruits from all angles, I could see something behind the leftmost magical fruit .
I unintentionally squint my eyes .
[What’s the matter?] (Isaac)
[That……] (Ryouta)
[That?] (Isaac)
Isaac stared at the Magic Fruit that I was looking .
[What’s wrong with this Magic Fruit?] (Isaac)
[……… . . ] (Ryouta)
I wanted to say [Can’t you see it?], but I decided to swallow my words .
Perhaps he really can’t see it, and only I could see it .
A woman was standing behind the leftmost magical fruit .
Her body was translucent, and it had a shape of a human which was only slightly larger than the Magic Fruit .
It was like a ghost…… . A woman in sleeves .
[…………Give me this . ] (Ryouta)
[Please come again—-] (Isaac)
Restraining from wanting to say it out loud, I brought the Magic Fruit with a woman wearing a kimono dress happily smiling .
☆
The suburbs of Shikuro, a place where rarely anyone comes .
I came to the place where I always use to hatch rogue monsters and placed the Magic Fruit on the ground .
After leaving the store, the figure of the woman in kimono disappeared .
Just a while ago, I was having various thoughts on the Kimono Lady, but now it was different .
Aurum of Aurum, a spirit of the dungeon, might have some association with it .
Nihonium, a woman in kimono .
[……Wouldn’t that just be too easy?] (Ryouta)
With that in mind, I left the Magic Fruit and waited for it to hatch .
Even if you eat the Magic Fruit normally, you would only gain one magic, but if you hatched it into a rogue monster and drop it again with my S Drop, it would give you the effects of the Magic Fruit twice .
While waiting for it, it made me feel like a chef cooking in a fine dining .
After a while the Magic Fruit hatched into a rogue monster . .
It was a Liquid Metal monster similar to before, and right after it hatched it changed into the same figure as me .
The monster with an ability that retains 80% of the ability of whoever they transform to .
[She’s there again . ] (Ryouta)
A woman in kimono appeared on his shoulder for only an instant .
It was similar to Alice’s monsters standing on her shoulder .
After smiling a little, she disappeared, and the monster started attacking .
Just like before, I fired a Restraint Bullet with the max amount of Bullet Enhancer, and defeated it by repeatedly firing the Infinite Lightning Bullets in succession .
It was good to have the Infinite Lightning Bullet, or else it would take a ton of bullets to defeat this guy .
It’s not just this monster, but it was the same with Rare monsters or Dungeon Masters .
It’s not that I can’t defeat it, but it’s troublesome and there are monsters that would not turn around for anything .
In order to fight such monsters, I thought that I wanted to be a bit stronger .
While thinking about it, the rogue monster collapsed and dropped Magic Fruit .
The Magic Fruit which originally had one hexagonal star now became two hexagonal stars .
I ate it and at that moment, two Magic emerged from within my head .
The first one was Magic Force . It is a spell that consumes MP each time you attack but in return your Physical Damage increases .
The other one was——
[Satou-dono . ]
[Uwaa!!] (Ryouta)
My name was suddenly called out and I was surprised till I jolted up .
The one in front of me was Rat, one of the ninja knights who was always around Margaret .
[Wh, what is it?] (Ryouta)
[Please lend me your power . ] (Rat)
[My power……? Wait, are you injured?] (Ryouta)
I was surprised to hear his request, but looking at him closely I could see he was quite shabby .
His armor had been torn from various places and the torn place was bleeding out his blood .
[What exactly happened?] (Ryouta)
[Margaret-sama is in danger . ] (Rat)
[What?(NANI!)] (Ryouta)
☆
Nihonium dungeon, the first floor .
[Satou!]
As soon as I entered, the old man who was selling the air called out for my name .
[Where’s Margaret?] (Ryouta)
[Over there!]
As soon as he said that, I looked at the direction he was pointing, and saw Margaret and the three knights protecting her .
And the figure of the monster as well .
A 160cm tall monster with long hair .
The translucent body made it look like a ghost .
It was a Dungeon Master of Nihonium .
[So you’ve encountered it . ] (Ryouta)
[I can’t believe it appeared… . Satou, please do something about it . ] (Rat)
[I’m on to it . ] (Ryouta)
I moved forward one step .
Beside me was Rat, and he called for me .
[I’ll do anything, just say the word . ] (Rat)
I caught a glimpse of him .
Even though the armo was hiding it, but I could tell that the wound wasn’t light . The wound was dripping out blood nonstop .
Still he had no fear in his eyes .
His face only showed a [If it’s for Margaret] .
Admiring… . no, it’s more of a respect to him .
[It’s fine, I can handle it by myself . ] (Ryouta)
[……Can you do it?] (Rat)
[Yeah . ] (Ryouta)
I nodded, and after feeling something, Rat left it to me without saying anything .
After running towards it, I saw her appearance .
It wasn’t Margaret, nor was it the Dungeon Master .
But it was that woman in sleeves .
She then smiled at me sweetly, and with that I confirmed .
[I have another 4 more floors to go, so please wait for me . ] (Ryouta)
After saying that, she smiled with satisfaction and disappeared .
I then chant a spell .
[Repetition . ] (Ryouta)
The moment I casted it, my body suffered a tremendous burdened, my magic—–MP felt like it had been sucked up dry .
It should be like that, as my opponent was the Dungeon Master .
Repetition, a magic that instantly kills a monster that you’ve defeated before in exchange for MP .
The Nihonium Dungeon Master was burned to crisp, as I defeated it in one hit in exchange for my S rank MP .
