**Day 43 Morning Omui Adventurers' Guild**
As always, we stop by the Adventurers' Guild before heading out in the morning just for the daily routine. Because a healthy high school boy's morning starts with a deadpan stare and ends all sticky and clingy, right?
"No no no, why how in what way have the requests stayed completely unchanged? Does this guild even have motivation? The bulletin board staff here has literally never worked, right? Less work than a NEET? I come every day and it's useless every day? Why doesn't it change once? When will a proper request appear where I become the big spender? Yeah, where exactly is my one-shot jackpot?"
"Seriously, when will they properly sneak around for us? Why do you come every day? You say profitable requests are for adventurers every day, right? You're not an adventurer, right? So why come faithfully every single day? Actually just coming to complain about the board, right!"
Morning receptionist chair's deadpan stare again today. Wow—deadpan from the girls at the inn, portable Armor Committee Chair deadpan, and nighttime muhfufu deadpan. This otherworld is deadpan paradise, no exaggeration! Alright, stared at—time to head out.
Handed over the piled-up magic stones at the buy counter and explained killing the dungeon by the downstream village. Guild master old man came out for some reason, so I said my piece and fled? Yeah, why doesn't he get it after I repeated "the dungeon drowned to death" so many times? Explained three times—good enough.
Now, the forest. My home—overnight stay can wait and see. Sure, as a healthy high school boy, jacuzzi play is tempting, but once in you can't get out and return, so worry after going.
Grass cutting time—aiming for a single-family cave with garden!
Yesterday on way back from village, tested Demon Scythes on forest trees—cut even big ones easily, so grass should be piece of cake.
Finally clearing grass around cave—been bothering me but seemed tedious. But Demon Scythes are auto-control auto-rotate giant spinning scythes. One command—root-level clear, goblins too. Garden made, me yay? Someday fields too? For now, request perimeter clear.
Smooth through forest but three Demon Scythes flying around hunting gobs/kobos—Armor Committee Chair looks bored. She always does the same to me, right? Every single day without fail? Did it nonstop yesterday too? I had nothing to do in yesterday's dungeon—seriously just descended stairs and came back up?
In dungeon when I went "fuh, come at me—let's go" and posed, everything was already wiped—sad. Meaningfully extended tree staff… and done. Stayed in cool pose till end… yesterday's spotlight.
But Demon Forest monsters really thinned out—soldiers and adventurers thinning too, shallow areas unprofitable. Plus few mushrooms shallow—hurry to cave. But Demon Scythes keep bringing magic stones—how? Do they have hands?
Arrived home, tasked Demon Scythes with logging while Armor Committee Chair and I head deeper forest. Main goal: mushroom hunt and gob/kobo cleanup. Finally practice time—getting pummeled out back at inn is training but not really martial arts… that's survival training. Yeah, basically all pummeling?
Committee Chairs get "practice" pummeling before bath too—once peeked at back yard: 29 star-eyed piled corpses under moonlight, panicked sign girl doing weird dance beside—super surreal… seriously?
Now training—'Magic Clad'. Body forcibly wrapped in magic/skills, forcibly strengthened—move wrong and self-destruct, HP drops. Novel body boost! Sync body/magic/skills into one, forge together. If unconscious/instant like breathing—complete. Easy if possible, but no one would struggle otherwise. Lose control—muscles tear, bones shatter. Then endlessly 'Regenerate' while breaking/healing. So practice till can't move from destruction… irrational!?
"Uwa, yeah—body sense change kills technique. Too fast, too strong, too weak?"
My low stats forcibly boosted externally—reckless forced skill. Use = self-destruct, don't use = monster kill. So juggle—force fit, cherry-pick, patchwork skills situationally. Endure pain, eventually adapt. Can't use = get pummeled in "training" anyway—pain either way, same thing.
Even Lv15+ gob—one hit. Always one hit, but no backstab needed—huge progress. No hiding aura—frontal ok, big step up. But spare power accelerates self-destruct—HP slowly drops. Yeah, quietly painful?
Somehow 'Magic Clad' usable though not mastered. Real issue ahead—probably 'Transfer' skill. 'Magic Clad' martial, 'Transfer' magic, and 'Magic Clad' wraps magic/skills/magic… so probably wraps 'Transfer' too.
Crush fast kobo with speed—fast, but instant movement mixes in—control insanely hard. Terrifying void speed vanishes-like movement… actually blinks out tiny bit? Master = vanish, impossible-to-defend sure-hit. Mastered = instant-movement unavoidable instakill. Problem: ultra-evil hard-to-use skill!
But if unified into 'Void-Reality'—could fight Dungeon Emperor. Maybe less pummeling! Yeah, why feel like can't win anyway?
Even in training 'Transfer' activates but get pummeled. Vanish, teleport—still pummeled? Yeah, that darkness bottom fully devoured by dark—if Demon Emperor level, world easily destroyed. 'Enslave' dropped stats to Lv1 and still that—full power unbeatable, no one could. Seriously!
But now she dances lightly happily through forest. Helmet probably smiling. Around: gob/kobo corpses carpeted, but happy—so fine. My practice partners extinct again while distracted—fine. Cheerful slashes destroy forest, cave perimeter almost cleared… fine? Yeah, but mushrooms won't grow—moderate please?
Endlessly rush in and slash. Make one motion, unify everything into single action… planned, but monsters extinct apparently. Ok, upstream move. No king left—useless here. Upstream plenty numbers—should stall Armor Committee Chair a bit!
Well… didn't really expect much? But hold out more! Why all charge and get countered? Stupid? Gob? Kobolt—coordinate properly! Why all pile on Armor Committee Chair? Mass suicide? Definitely mass self-destruct—outcome obvious from charge, not even time-wasters, useless monsters.
Ends at orc den, but mushroom picking time far longer than fighting. Keep this up—mushroom picker job incoming? Still better than unemployed, but black-clad stick-holder mushroom picker suspicious?
While desperately wrapping 'Transfer' for ultra-speed tumbling, rolling, tree-crashing, tree-falling-together, rolling big spins—orks all defeated. Mid-collision bounced some but none proper fight—true instakill. Rolled around forest till all over.
Planned combat practice ends as rolling practice—no, rolling not trained! Got pity orc king one. Seriously begged! Rest extinct. Culprit silver armor supervises my "fight" nodding. When I wrap/tangle/roll—gets "what can you do"… super distracting!
Finally… 7th hit—something like 'Void-Reality'? Probably because one-hit orc king—"fuh" and body moved, already slashed… done? No real feel, but no opponents left to practice.
No choice—overnight pummeling till night. In Demon Scythe-cleared garden—pummeled! "Fuh" hard to achieve—pummeled nonstop, almost "fuh" but can't finish, pummeled. Instant-move speed unavoidable but linear—readable. Pummeled pummeled pummeled till deep night.
Yeah, deep night onward—full revenge till midnight! High school boy full power at night! Probably get pummeled again tomorrow from that revenge.
But no regrets—very good revenge. Feels like revenge calls revenge, but feels good so fine. Yeah, good!
