Year 7443, Month 2, Day 5
I've started to understand quite a bit about the revival of monsters.
An average of about 10 hours after you kill the boss monster of the room something like a haze outbreaks in the center of the room and the new boss is born. The age of the newly born boss is obviously 0 years old but it's level is somewhat high from the start. And there was something among their details that I had overlooked until now. They have no listing for experience points under the items with Identify.
Whether it be Ralpha, myself, other humans, or non-humans if I use Identify on them the very last items on the Identify list are experience points and the amount of experience points to the next level. However, whether it be the goblins or the something or other spider, the monsters inside of the dungeon have listing for experience points.
I wonder if the monsters in the forest near Bakuddo or the Horned Bear had them? I usually don't bother remembering something like that.
At the very least the monsters in the vicinity of Bakuddo had children and babies, and raised them.
I've seen a small baby goblin and I killed both mother and child of a Horned Bear as well.
I've seen an individual that appeared to be the child of a Hobgoblin as well. However, at the very least inside of the dungeon they appear to be adults but I've never even once seen an individual in the process of growing or a child.
What I can guess based on the details of the revival I've been investigating is that the monsters inside of the dungeon might look similar to those outside but be something completely different. Or maybe the monsters outside of the dungeon are the same as the ones inside and being born from a haze somewhere? Well, I'm not a scholar so things regarding the reproduction and ecology of monsters don't matter at all. Rather than that it's fine as long as I can understand the behavior patterns, thought processes, attack methods, and special skills of them. It's something that might eventually be clarified academically but I'm sure that's not my duty.
I've still only seen a handful of revivals so I haven't gained full confidence in it yet but at the current point these are the common factors of it:
1. After killing the room boss a new room boss will be born in an average of about 10 hours.
2. It's no guaranteed that the new room boss will be the same type of monster as the previous room boss.
3. The new room boss appears roughly 5-6 minutes after the haze springs forth.
4. The new room boss that has just appeared can't move well.
5. During the period of time after you kill the previous room boss before the new one revives the monsters that wander around in the halls sometimes enter the room (In other words, even if you've killed the room boss the room doesn't become a safe area).
Is what I found out. Between those points as long as I know this much it's plenty. Just knowing that after you kill the room boss for several hours it will be in a state where there's no boss is a big step forward in terms of information.

Year 7443, Month 2, Day 14
Ralpha, Bel, and I all had our birthday and turned 15 years old. Accompanied by the increase in age all of our HP has increased by 1 each but there was no change to Ralpha and my ability points. Only Bel's Speed increased by 1 point along with a total increase of 2 HP points. I wonder if it's differences in growth between races?
The night of that after we returned from dinner, I called the two of them to my room in the Boil Manor. As presents for their birthday I gave Ralpha some durable leather gloves and Bel a hat for Rabbit-people race which allows just the ears to come out of it. I was the only one who received an inverness during Christmas last year, so I splurged on something that was reasonably high-quality. I sewed both of their names into them. Ono Misa and Soma Asuka. Don't underestimate the sewing skills of someone who went through Self-Defense college. It was the first time since I was born that I sewed someone's name but let alone attaching buttons, I was even able to patch things up. And my sewing needle is the same as my sword it's a specially made one forged with steel and sharpened.
"Al-san, thank you very much. I'll take good care of it."
Bel smiled as she was delighted to receive it and immediately put it on. Yeah, it looks good on you.
"Eh? It has my name on it..Wait, this, did Al put it on? You're extremely good at sewing. Was sewing your hobby? But isn't that a bit of a depressing hobby for a man?"
Yo..You really. At least say a word of thanks. And what do you mean depressing? That's prejudice right. In the past there were plenty of skilled male tailors.
"But, I'm happy. Thanks. I'll take good care of it as I use it as well."
I don't know if she noticed the vein popping out of my head but Ralpha thanked me as well while putting the gloves on her hands. Since they're gloves yours even have your name on them twice! It was a pain in the ass, really. Act like that from the start, fool.
"Al, I'll give you this. It's a birthday present from me. This is for Bel."
Ralpha gave me a weeks worth of six pairs of thick socks and handed Bel a muffler. I'm honestly happy about socks. It seems Bel is happy as well.
"Al-san, this is a gift from me. This is for Ral."
Bel gave me a durable leather compartment that can be fit on the belt I'm usually using and handed Ralpha a muffler. You two, didn't you just exchange mufflers? It doesn't really matter though.
"Also, since today is Valentine's day in reality I thought to give you some obligation chocolate but there's nothing like chocolate after all. So I went with some normal sweets."
"I didn't have any chocolate either so it's some normal sweets but..Excuse me."
I received the average cake of Orth which is something like a failed sponge cake from Ralpha and once again something which is average on Orth, a failed version of cookies from Bel.
"Thanks the two of you. As a matter of fact there's actually one more thing I have to give you, or rather something to talk about. During the end of last year, do you remember when we went to make deliveries of the armor with older brother and the others in the capital?"
I started talking with a slightly serious face.
"Yeah, I remember."
"Ah, I remember."
I guess they noticed my atmosphere changed the two of them responded while changing their state.
"After that, I had practice matches on the riverbed right? I was the only one late because of other affairs though."
"Ah~ That's right."
"Yeah, but is there something in regards to that?"
I looked at the eyes of the two of them while continuing.
"That time, I was late because I was eating something. And at that time, it was just a glance but I saw someone that seemed to be Japanese. It was a woman, probably a Dwarf."
""Eh?""
"I quickly lost sight of her but she was dressed like an adventurer or peddler. Since it seemed like she was escorting a carriage filled with goods. Since it seemed like there was a considerable amount of goods so I think it was right as they were departing or right after they had replenished their stock. I saw a yellow hemp bag so they're probably dealing in seeds like crow wheat or something. Since merchants that deal in assorted grains and seeds are busy selling seeds for the spring sowing around this period. That's why if it was right after they had stocked up then they should have gone out to peddle right after that. I'm sure they'll wander around various villages for roughly two or three months."
"I see now."
"Is that how it was."
"That was the end of the year..about a month and a half ago, so if they're fast then they might be returning about now. I feel like as expected it's a bit soon. However, someone that appears to be a reincarnated person other than us is using the areas around the capital as base, or at the very least they're definitely including the capital in their patrol route. Since it seemed that there was only one carriage, it's not a trader that covers several territories I'm sure. And, then"
I'm sure the two of them are get what I'm saying.
"For a short while after this, we'll setup a net in the capital. I guess so, next week, starting from February the 19th we'll take a break from exploring the dungeon for a the time being and keep lookout on the primary roads going to the capital. Our profits will decrease but let me off with this. Since it's not guaranteed that person will pass through Baldukk, it's a bit troublesome but it would be better to setup the net near the capital. However, I think you already know but starting from today reincarnated people are 15 years old, adults. Since there's also the matter of Yousuke-san, I won't force it on Bel though. How about it?"
Ralpha and Bel looked over here before opening their mouths.
"I'll go. If it's a reincarnated person then it would be better to make them into our allies. But you know.."
But what?
"Why are they always just women? You, are you maybe avoiding the men?"
"Huh?"
"It's a joke, a joke. Leave it to me, I'll go and keep lookout as well."
What is up with this girl. Isn't Kuro a man..Come to think of it these two only know about Kuro from what I told them.
"..I'll go as well. If You-chan were to go to Baldukk then that would be to earn some money. In that case I'm sure he would stay for at least a few years. It's fine."
I knew that on days off and the days where we leave the dungeon in the early afternoon Bel was wandering around the town and looking at the big roads. Of course, she's shopping with Ralpha as well but I'm sure that's her searching for Yousuke-san. Thanks to that it's become difficult for me to walk into strange places but I can't exactly tell her to stop it.
The types of cheap bars and restaurants that male adventurers go to or the vulgar bars where there's prostitutes, the block which is made up of brothels. While I've been inside of restaurants like that watching the roads I've seen Bel walk by. I've seen her sit on the corner of restaurants drinking tea while looking at the roads just like I do as well.
As expected over the past few months the {Slaughterers} members have become known so it doesn't seem like anyone tries to harass her and she can use magic and the short sword properly so I'm sure they're ignoring her. I'm grateful that she's willing to help setup the net to look for a reincarnated person who seems unlikely to be directly related to Yousuke-san.
"Thanks, the two of you. That helps out."
