Otherworld Company Chapter 21.4: We will Start the Dungeon Capture on Schedule

In fact, if these guys were outside the room, I could have conquered it by myself, but this is not the time to tell them that.

If it’s a hero, they will not only be killed in seconds, all of them will be taken out with a swing of their sword.

If it were me, it’s just over five minutes.

Well, the hero has plenty of room but I will try my best, but we should exceed that.

“Minami, countdown.” (Jiro)

“Understood, in three, that we do.” (Minami)

Three, two, one.

I adjust my posture according to Minami counting down.

“Zero, that it is!” (Minami)

Are you serious? She’s joking, but work will pile up if I do. Let’s go end it quickly.

If we are separated, the number of targets will increase to two.

The barrage will become slightly less for both.

And the amount divided by leans more towards Minami and the others.

“Here we go, first one.” (Jiro)

As a result, I easily destroyed the first port.

This would prevent an all-direction attack, and if reduced to a third, there would be more leeway.

So I swung the Mineral Tree like I was sending a slash outwards.

“Wow!? It sent an explosion near us!?” (Kaido)

“I can’t do that Senior Kaido, that I can’t!” (Minami)

“It’s not the time to be talking like that!” (Masaru)

Well, it seems that there is not much leeway, but if we work without wasting a moment, there will be no problem.

“It’s a shame, but if it’s this high…”

It is a pinball golem that rushes in my direction to where I stood,

“The ceiling can also be a good foothold too.” (Jiro)

This method is surprisingly efficient if you use them as a stepping stone before the previous individuals explode.

It flies like I am running up a flight of stairs, but my field of vision is turned upside down, but it’s not as bad as running down a flight or two.

“Fantasy is all about ignoring the laws of physics, right?” (Jiro)

I bounced from ceiling to wall ignoring pinball golems and crushing them as I leaped.

This is surprisingly fun.

It’s like a higher version of parkour, with footholds appearing and exploding at random, which is bizarre, but being able to ignore gravity and move around was more exhilarating and fun than I had imagined.

As if to test my limits, I bounced around and swung my Mineral Tree.

I thought of the phrase “Danger is the spice of life” and moved faster.

“Excuse me, an eighth one is on the ceiling.” (Jiro)

And if I speed it up, the number of outlets will naturally decrease and the number of enemies will decrease.

As I gradually move back and forth between the walls, ceilings, and floors instead of golems, my movement accelerates even further because there are no longer any obstacles.

“Hey, there… what happened to you?” (Jiro)

“””…””” (Kaido, Minami & Masaru)

The last of the pinball golems was cut and the barrage was over.

The expression that greets me who landed from the air is stunning.

“Well, is Senior actually an Alien?” (Kaido)

“Well, I understand what Kaido wants to say, but unfortunately I don’t have any memory from when I was born, but I am aware that I was born in Japan and have been Japanese ever since I can remember. And if you guys train this much, you will be able to do it eventually.” (Jiro)

“”“Eh?””” (Kaido, Minami & Masaru)

“What’s with the blank stare? I’ve shown you it can be done.” (Jiro)

I think it’s unreasonable, but if you think about it, a person who can catch up with a pinball is not normal.

And it’s not like I’ve come up with this move recently.

Thinking about it, I recently learned that if you can do something, you should use whatever you can use.

This is especially true if they are as strong as the instructors, who are literally demons.

Well, the reason I came up with the idea was because I was cornered in a training session with my instructors once in a while, and there was nowhere to run left, right, or behind me.

I was so desperate that I jumped, and I was able to fly unexpectedly, and from then on, the top was added to my escape options.

So?

At the time of training?

Of course, they caught up with me in the air, and we fought and I went straight towards a wall.

The fact that I couldn’t kill my momentum made it even more painful!

“But it would be useful, that it would, wouldn’t it?” (Minami)

“Well, sure.” (Jiro)

“I don’t think I can do it, but if I could, I’d be an action star in Hollywood, wouldn’t I?” (Minami)

“Oh, okay, okay, I’ll train you in this kind of movement from now on, but for now, concentrate on the dungeon, the stairs are coming up.” (Jiro)

As I changed their perspective their blank stares gradually changed to glittering ones that express a kind of longing.

“Fufufufu, if there is one strong character, the tactics will expand greatly. I have completely captured you. I have been running a number of strategy blogs. I will immediately return the stigma you gave me. That is a quality of mine, that it is.” (Minami)

“Hey, you don’t suddenly go full 180 from your previous thoughts. After all, we’re not game characters, you know?” (Jiro)

“Don’t worry, that I have conquered many games with a physical strength gauge, that I have. I’ll adjust to the environment as soon as I can, that I will!” (Minami)

“No, Masaru, I will leave reining this one to you.” (Jiro)

“……I will do my best.” (Masaru)

The first floor was not cleared with a lot of leeways, but it was cleared with a good margin.

What about the rest of the floors?

“I was worried that I couldn’t reach this level, what is it?” (Jiro)

“Senior, your movements were abnormal, but Minami’s dungeon adaptability is also abnormal, you know?” (Kaido)

“Fuhahahahaha! This is my ability, that it is!” (Minami)

“Minami, calm down.” (Masaru)

“Well, you can’t dive too deep, got it?” (Jiro)

The worries when I finished the first floor became true based on the result in front of me.

In front of me, I can see Minami laughing loudly as she kicked at the wreckage of the boss on the 4th floor, which is much deeper than I originally planned.

That wild laughter was quickly replaced with an “orz” from a single blow from Masaru, who forced her to pipe it down. It might make her look unreliable, but she had been very active on the way to this point.

Even though she had experienced mapping, trap detection, information gathering, and countermeasures against monsters she had never seen before, I didn’t expect her to be able to command so accurately.

To be honest, I thought it would be difficult to command against Platemail-wearing golems, tentatively named Knight Golem (Sword), Knight Golem (Shield), Knight Golem (Spear), and Magician Golem, but they were easily conquered by Minami’s countermeasures, who found patterns made by these golems.

This is exactly what I call the blossoming of a buried talent.

“For the time being, that’s about it today.” (Jiro)

“That’s right.” (Kaido)

“I want to say, that I do, but there is a limit to the items I can carry, that I do. I feel sorry for Masaru, that I do.” (Minami)

“Then help me.” (Masaru)

I thought she might argue a little more, but she seems to know when to back off.

Well, if you look at Masaru who has a large amount of luggage on his backpack carrier, it can surely be a meter for when to withdraw.

As a man who did not directly involve himself in combat, something stood out, and it was that we should consider purchasing a magic bag.

“We’ll go out to eat when we return, but don’t let your guard down until we get back.” (Jiro)

“We’ll still work until we get home.” (Kaido)

“Understood, that I do.” (Minami)

“Yes.” (Masaru)

“Since it also serves as a celebration of breaking through the floors, you can expect a lot of food.” (Jiro)

“Yeah! I want something good to drink.” (Kaido)

“I want to eat something like a Dragon Steak, that I do!” (Minami)

“Don’t get too excited!” (Masaru)

We walked up the stairs while proceeding into the dungeon in a harmonious manner.

I don’t know about Kaido, but I’m grateful for that encounter in the park, or rather, for the odd chance I had.

“Maybe I’m just lucky.” (Jiro)

“Hm? Senior, did you say something?” (Kaido)

“No, I just said that a drink sounds good today.” (Jiro)

“That’s right!” (Kaido)
