Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest - Chapter 90

Chapter 90

eatured Imaged Credited: Gintama

In the morning, I awoke from Alice house which I’m still not used too yet .

It was certainly a poor village where Alice’s house looked simple, moreover I am already missing Emily’s warm and loving house .

[My body is completely used to that huh . ] (Ryouta)

While mumbling nonsense, I looked inside the house .

There weren’t too many furnitures placed inside the house which perfectly fits the description of a simplistic house, and at the other end there was a mixed bed where Alice and Eve was sleeping .

Alice had Boney-chan and Jumpy-san resting on her head like a cat, whereas Eve was gnawing on something inside her thin futon .

[You can’t do that Kon kon… . . Eh? Neither fire nor ice works?] (Alice)

[No carrots~, no future~] (Eve)

The two of them were sleeping together while sleep talking .

While thinking that they were having some sort of fun dream, I got up and thought of earning some money in the dungeon .

First up was to check on my equipment .

Two guns, and various bullets .

I did not use the pouch when I first when into the dungeon, but since I knew what sort of drops I was expecting, which were gold dust and gold bar, I equipped it .

And the Tears of Slime .

After re-dropping it from a rogue monster, since I do not know whether that little devil has any other additional abilities to cheat in various ways, thus I held onto this just in case .

Thus, double checking to make sure .

Knock, knock .

Seemed like someone knocked on my door .

I glanced at Alice and Eve, and the two of them were still sleeping soundly .

Since it can’t be help I decided to answer it .

[Yes yes, who is it? ———–Eh?] (Ryouta)

When I opened the door, there were three girls standing there .

Both are girls from the village, they looked to be around 15-16 years old which on earth they were considered JK 1 students .  

[It, it’s Satou-sama . Hey what should we do, I did not think that Satou-sama would be the one coming out . ]

[There’s no helping it, now come on Risu . ]

[I, I can’t do it . The two of you please help me . ] (Risu)

The girls were looking at me while shyly looking at each other…… . more like they were pressing against each other .

When I thought what was going on, the girl in the middle was pushed by the other girls forward .

[Satou-sama!]

[O, oh?] (Ryouta)

[Thank you for helping us the day before yesterday . ]

[Aah, were you one of the girls that was swallowed by the dungeon?] (Ryouta)

[Yes! At that time when Satou-sama saved me… . . you were really cool . ]

[Ooofuu…?] (Ryouta)

A voice that I thought was stupid even for myself leaked out of my mouth .

By love do they mean that sort of love?

Th, they did not even mentioned that to begin with but I never imagined what I should do because no one has ever said such thing .

THough, I do not have time to think .

[Uhm! Me too!]

[Me, me three… . . ]

[Oueee!?!] (Ryouta)

The remaining two both said something absurd .

After the first girl said [I love you] to me, the three of them looked at me straight in the eyes and appealed to me .

Their gazes were strong, I could feel it right in my kokoro .

Their feelings were certainly transmitted, but what should I do about this?

[T, thanks . ] (Ryouta)

I tried squeezing something out but it turned out to be extremely awkward .

[Kyaaaaaa!]

[I’m happy!]

[Aaah… . . I’m feeling dizzy… . ]

Apparently they seemed to be pleased with my stupid reply .

I felt like being pinched by a fox .

☆

[It’s to be expected . ] (Alice)

Leaving the house with Alice who got up, and on our way to the dungeon Alice overheard the conversation and spoke .

By the way, Eve woke up unnoticed and disappeared unnoticed too .

[It’s natural?] (Ryouta)

[A young and cool looking guy, what’s more being called an association chief is to be expected . ] (Alice)

[Is that cool? And it’s Clint the one who asked me to help them out, so of course they came to thank me after I completed the mission . ] (Ryouta)

[Helping someone when they are in a pinch . That is a huge point if I do say so myself . ] (Alice)

[I, if Alice says so . ] (Ryouta)

[Also, those who became adventurers are longing to have these sorts of encounter right . Even I was longing to be an adventurers thus I went to Shikuro . ](Alice)

[Okay… . I see… . ] (Ryouta)

I guess that might be true .

A world where everything drops inside a dungeon, it can be said that being able to help out during a huge event is something any adventurers would want to get their hands at .

I guess I can understand the feelings of adventurers who were longing to fight in the dungeon, especially if they are living in a village without any dungeon .

[This time you became the association chief on this village, so of course you’re already a star over here . ] (Alice)

[Even if you said that I’m a s-star, I guess I understand . ] (Ryouta)

I was convinced by Alice as we continued walking .

On the way from Alice’s house to the dungeon, the villagers were watching me from a distance .

Everyone had a good impression of me and some had the same expression as the girls that came this morning .

Since having to be a center of attention is really embarrassing, I decided to escape into the dungeon .

Thus we went to the entrance of the dungeon with haste .

[Well, I’ll be going . After I’m done we’ll meet back at the entrance . ] (Ryouta)

[Un, I’ll be waiting . ] (Alice)

Waving at Alice who nodded, I entered the dungeon first .

As if someone used a spell on my surroundings, the dungeon’s structure changed as I entered the dungeon . Thus, having to team up with someone is difficult .

Well, there are two ways of meeting up with someone inside here, but I decided to take the most reliable way .

That is I would first come in and find my way back to the entrance, and meet up with Alice and together we will be sent to somewhere together .

The reason why I wanted to team up with Alice was to use her special abilities inside here .

As she was born in the dungeon and somehow she knew the structure of the dungeon and where every monsters are located .

Because this was a dungeon where the layout changes every time you enter, we need someone like Alice to navigate and find whether there’s another floor below us .

Inside this unfamiliar dungeon, I tired to go find my way back to the entrance .

It’s as if my first time coming into the dungeon and I was slightly lost .

Gashak .

There was a sound from behind .

I wonder if someone from the villagers came inside the dungeon .

[———-!]

Suddenly someone or something started attacking me .

A black shadow slashed towards me, I could see a blunt blade being reflected as it drew an arc and attacked me .

It wasn’t a monster!

I grabbed the hilt of the blade and body blowed the person holding it .

It might be a human, or more specifically at least it had a human shape .

The opponent’s body bent into a “<” shape and it’s movement stopped .

Was what I thought when he released the blade and and tried to grab something inside its pocket as if trying to do something, I immediately reacted and did a left hook on it’s face .

The black shadow thrusted into the wall and crumbled as it was .

After looking at it closely, it was indeed a human being .

[An Assassin?] (Ryouta)

That word came up in my mind without thinking .

The blade that I robbed from the black shadow was apparently a sharp blade called Aikuchi, and it suddenly attacked me with from the shadow .

It was an orthodox assassin .

Assassination? Towards me?

… . . But why?

When questions kept popping up one after another, I thought it’s better to catch him first before he escaped, when suddenly .

The dungeon’s structure has changed!

When I was trying to catch the assassin, the structure suddenly changed, and I was separated from the opponent .

[…… . This timing, it’s definitely not a coincidence . ] (Ryouta)

I don’t know what I’ve done but intuitively I understand that they don’t want me to find out who they are .

I don’t know whether it was something being sent or I was being monitored, but that cannot be a mere coincidence as the timing of when I was trying to catch it, the dungeon’s structure changed .

[Should I go search for him, no wait Alice is still waiting for me at the entrance . ] (Ryouta)

If the dungeon’s structure changed that means someone must’ve come in .

Then doesn’t that mean Alice who was at the entrance was in danger .

I quickly ran around the unfamiliar dungeon .

There were times when the little devils appeared but I ignored them since even if they were to attack me my HP and Endurance is at S .

After running for around five minutes I saw the entrance of the dungeon .

[Alice!] (Ryouta)

[Ryouta!] (Alice)

[Are you alright?] (Ryouta)

[Yeah, I’m alright . What’s more a weird person was running away just now . ] (Alice)

[It ran away?] (Ryouta)

[Yeah, someone suddenly came flying out while I was trying to go in, and afterwards two more came out and scattered as they escaped . ] (Alice)

[You let them go?] (Ryouta)

[What do you mean?] (Alice)

[They were trying to attack me, no assassinate me . ] (Ryouta)

[Assassination!? Ah but, if I’m not mistaken they look… . . ] (Alice)

After being surprised, Alice quickly remembered their appearance .

Yes, it’s better to remember what they wore so we can find them .

But the problem is who? And for what reason .

Not being able to catch me must’ve hurt .

[Hey Ryouta, your body seems to be shining?] (Alice)

[Eh?] (Ryouta)

When Alice pointed it out, it certainly looked like my body was shining .

To be exact, it was flashing red right under my clothes .

Thus I took it out and figure out what it was .

[Tears of Slime……] (Ryouta)

[Isn’t it where it would counter the opponent’s damage . ] (Alice)

[Yeah, it was a drop from the High Guts Slime, and when I turned it into a rogue slime it dropped this… . . So this light meant the effect happened?] (Ryouta)

I stared at the Tears of Slime and observed what the light meant .

[… . . Alice, where did those bastards escaped?] (Ryouta)

[Etto, there and there . ] (Alice)

Alice said while pointing at two opposite directions .

With the Tears of Slime, I first chose one side, and the blinking of the light delayed for a moment .

This time I head towards the other side, and the blinking suddenly gotten faster .

[What does that mean?] (Alice)

[Perhaps… . it’s a tracker to track its opponent . ] (Ryouta)

I decided to pursue those buggers while it was flashing quickly .

☆

[Did you fail?]

[I’m so sorry!]

[Hmm, that brat is stronger than I expected . I thought it was some new emerging family but it looks like they are quite formidable . ]

[What should we do?]

[Was your face seen? Were you being followed?]

[He did not see and we were hidden the whole time . ]

[If that’s the case then go hide for awhile, and think about the next plan .

[I understand—–Mu . ]

[What’s wro—–Eh?]

The two men who were talking in the forest noticed abnormality of their bodies .

Both of them were tied up in something that was shining on their bodies .

[What the hell… . what the hell is this?]

[I can’t move… . . what’s going on?]

The two of them were desperately trying to escape from the light rope, but the more they struggle, the tighter it got .

[So that’s what it is . ]

[Who is it!!]

I slowly approached the man who asked who I was .

I then placed my guns down and walked to them slowly .

Because of my Enhanced Bullet imbued with the Restraining Bullet, I don’t think the two of them can escape for a really long time .

[Satou……Ryouta . ]

As the light shine on the man’s face, it revealed the face of Samechiren’s dungeon association chief .

And the person beside him who was being held was the black shadow who attacked me earlier .

[In other words, you were the one who sent them to kill me?] (Ryouta)

[Wh, what are you saying . ]

[Well, well, well, trying to feign ignorance heh . Well it’s alright, since I’m bad at this . Alice . ] (Ryouta)

[Un!] (Alice)

Alice who followed along stood side by side .

[Head back to the village and call Clint over, he will be good with negotiating . ] (Ryouta)

[All right!] (Alice)

Alice nodded and immediately ran .

Only leaving me, and the two who were restrained .

The dungeon association chief of Samechiren had a pale face which made it all the more interesting .
