Chapter 069

After eating and taking a leisurely bath, I went to bed. I set my alarm to go off at seven in the morning and went to bed.

It seems I was more tired than I thought, and I slept soundly until my alarm woke me up. I harvested eggplants from the field and fried them to top my curry.

I checked outside and saw no one, so I grabbed a turtle shell and a backpack containing a magic stone and left the house. I released my spirit fox form and female form and returned to being a man, summoning my dress-up dolls.

The one-handed sword it had in both hands were beautifully repaired. The handle of the one that only had the blade had been properly regenerated.

... The dress-up dolls' cheat level had increased. It had been verified that infinite duplication was possible by intentionally damaging weapons, repairing them, and multiplying them.

However, just because this sword is made of steel, it is unclear whether the same thing could be done with magic iron, mithril, adamantite, or orihalcum.

Even if it were possible, it would be impossible to break such strong metals, and I've never heard of anyone breaking it in half while using it.

But I decided not to think about it for now. If it were known that it was a skill that could mass-produce Orichalcum or Mithril weaponry, I would be a target even if no one found out about Tamamo.

Putting the problem aside, I put the doll back on, dropped my backpack, and headed for the surface with the turtle shell. The shell was big and had no handles, making it difficult to hold, so I carried it with both hands.

I didn't encounter any monsters or explorers on the eighth and seventh floors, but on the sixth floor I came across a party of explorers fighting a blue bear.

The party consisted of two people equipped with one-handed swords and bucklers, and two with spears, and all were men in their late twenties to thirties.

The two sword wielders split into two groups and attacked mainly the legs, while the two with spears were stabbing at the upper body from the front. The spears seemed to be used for distraction rather than attacking to inflict damage.

If it tries to attack the sword-wielder, the bear will be stabbed with a spear and it will have to block it. If it were distracted by the spear, the sword-wielder would cut the leg from both sides. It may take time, but it is a solid strategy.

The wound in the leg was so deep that the blue-haired bear could not stand, and it was stabbed in the neck by a spear wielder and died. Wary of a counterattack from the arm that still cold move, he was a careful using a spear with a long reach to end it.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, I learned a lot."

The battle was blocking the shortest route to the fifth floor, so I was watching from a distance. I could have passed by them, but I wanted to avoid affecting the battle.

They seemed to notice this while they were fighting. They knew that if I passed by, the blue-haired bear would be distracted by me and take irregular actions.

"Could that be the shell of a drop turtle?"

"Yes, I hunted them on the ninth floor. It was hard to find."

"I see, this is a rare thing. This is the first time I've seen one."

There are almost no people crazy enough to try to get a fallen turtle shell, so it's not uncommon for people to have never seen one even after being an explorer for a long time.

"There was a fox beastman there yesterday, so rare things keep happening."

"Hey, you don't know if that's true, do you?"

"Well, it seems like multiple parties have seen it. I'm sure it's confirmed."

Apparently, rumors about Tamamo are already spreading. I wonder what they'll think if they find out it's me. I'll never tell them though.

Chapter 068

I picked up the golem's magic stone and went to pick up the abandoned broken one-handed sword a little distance away. If I left it like this, the poor sword would be absorbed by the dungeon.

"I don't know if it will work. But it's better than disappearing."

I summoned the lost house for a moment and threw in the magic stone and the broken sword. Fortunately, there were no signs of other golems gathering, so I decided to pursue the four who had retreated earlier.

The five were resting next to the whirlpool to the 16th floor. It would be creepy to just pass by like that, so I decided to talk to them.

"That level of noise won't attract golems. There's no risk of flooding. So, will you guys have no trouble getting back?"

"That's good. We'll be fine. If I carry the luggage, the other four can fight. It's no problem if you just go back."

It seems that the man who broke the sword is in charge of carrying the luggage to minimize the loss of fighting power. With the four, they should be able to deal with the pack wolves, and there should be little risk if they just go the shortest route.

"Understood. Then we'll go back first. I don't know if we'll meet again, but take care."

"Thank you for your help, you really helped me. I hope we'll meet again."

It seemed like a bit of a reckless challenge, but these five were normal explorers, not the soldiers from before. It would be nice to interact with people like that, but there are also people like that from the Gold Bug incident, so I hesitate.

After that, I went straight back to the ninth floor without making any detours. I passed several explorer parties on the way, so I might become a rumor later.

Arriving at the ninth floor, where the drop turtle appears, I deviated from the shortest route. After making sure that no one was around, I entered the lost house.

I carried the magic stone and broken sword that were left near the entrance to the house.

I took a short rest. I harvested cabbage from the field and made pork cutlets for the charging pig.

I bit into the delicious pork cutlet and shoveled it into my piping hot rice. I sandwiched some shredded cabbage between the pieces, which was sweet even without any toppings, and stuffed my cheeks with the cutlet again.

While I was eating, the thought of how unfair it wasn't to keep it all to myself kept were being sent to me, so I fried two more pork cutlets and offered them up along with a mountain of cabbage.

If I think of it as the price of being able to enjoy freshly fried pork cutlets in peace inside the dungeon, cooking some extra and offering it as an offering is no big deal.

After taking a break from eating, I wandered out of the house, picking up the hilt and blade of my broken sword. Just to be sure, I checked again to see if there was anyone around. After making sure there was no problem, I released my [spirit fox transformation] and [female body] skills.

I returned to being a man and activated the [dress-up doll] skill. A doll wearing a tracksuit appeared before me.

"Well, I wonder if it will work..."

I put the handle in the doll's right hand and the broken tip in its left. I believe there is a high chance that the handle will regenerate, but it's a gamble for just the tip.

All I can do now is wait for time to pass, so I put the doll away. I have enough turtle magic stones, so there's no need to go to the trouble of hunting in this form. Since I have nothing in particular to do, I become Tamamo and retreat to the lost house.

I'm bored until tomorrow morning on the surface. I'll harvest potatoes, onions, and carrots from the fields and make curry. I'll use the charging pig for meat.

I'm grateful that in both my past and current life, I can make delicious curry just by mixing and dissolving it. It's fun to blend different brands and spiciness, but today I'll choose a simple medium spiciness.

The pork cutlet curry, topped with fried pork cutlet, was delicious. I expected that I would be asked for some, so I fried some extra cutlets and offered them as an offering. Goddess-sama, this can't be the reason the Lost House was given to me... Right?

Chapter 067

The opponent is a lump of rock. Foxfire won't work. I know from the previous battle that slashing attacks are also ineffective, but I'll test it just to be sure. I run up to it, dodge its swung right arm, and slash with my iron fan.

"Ha, you're fast!"

"But it's not working. Even a sword didn't work on it. It's not someone you can do anything about with a fan."

I know it's not working even without being told. Even if I close the iron fan and use it as a striking weapon, it won't work because the reach is short and the power is low. So I put both iron fans in my pocket.

"Now, how far can you keep up with my movements?"

I avoided the right arm, which had swung in my direction again and approached the golem's torso, but it was blocked by the left arm. So I leaned my body to the side and placed my left arm on the ground to rotate my body.

I spun my body like a top and swept the golem's right leg with both feet, using centrifugal force. The golem, wary of an attack to its abdomen, lost balance and fell to the side.

"You made it think that  you were attacking its abdomen and then attacked its legs!"

"Was that what you were aiming for from the beginning?"

While hearing the commotion from behind, I jumped up, spun forward, and landed a heel slam. The golem took the hit head-on, and half of its head sunk into the grass.

"Hmm, the impact was absorbed by the grass and the power was reduced. In a labyrinth, the damage would have increased with the stone floor."

The golem got up and attacked without even brushing off the dirt on its head. Although the damage was less than expected, it seemed to have earned a lot of hate.

I moved sideways to dodge the swinging right arm again. However, the punch stopped midway and came at me to grab me after I dodged. But I jumped over the open palm to avoid it.

The remaining left arm aimed at that spot, but I kicked the upper part of the right arm and leapt towards its head. Ignoring the left arm that missed its target, I delivered a spin kick to the side of the head that was left empty.

"Hey, can you do the same thing?"

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm only scouting because I have [increased eyesight]. I can't do it without [increased speed] or [physical strengthening]."

I tried to pursue the golem that had stopped falling by stepping on the ground, but it regained its balance quicker than I expected and I was facing it again.

The golem's right arm swung at me a third time as I ran forward. This time it held its left arm against its stomach, blocking me from getting close. It was impressive that it had corrected its mistake from last time, but I had no intention of using the same attack.

I dodged the punch by turning halfway and grabbed the thick wrist in front of me. As I pulled it, it almost fell forward, so it tried to support itself with its free left arm.

Using the momentum, I pulled the golem's arm further forward, put its body on my back and threw it forward. In this world without judo, rhis should be its first time receiving a shoulder throw.

The golem fell with a loud thud, and I jumped again and delivered a spinning heel drop to its head. I increased the height and number of rotations from the last time, so the power was greater.

As expected, it seemed to have worked, as the golem, with more than half of its head buried in the floor, began to emit light and turned into a magic stone. The subjugation was finally complete.

"That was a loud noise, so other golems might be coming. You'd better hurry back to the 16th floor."

"Ah, yeah, I'll do that. But beastmen have incredible power."

The scene where the delicate girl threw the golem, which was just over three meters tall, seemed to be quite intense, but he attributed it to my beastman nature. The four of them regained their composure and began their retreat.

Chapter 066

"Damn, it's hard!"

"What am I supposed to do with this!"

A party of explorers is fighting, but it looks like they're in a bad situation. The party is made up of a one-handed sword user and a one-handed swordman with a buckler. Two spear user and one dagger user, making for a party of five.

There's a big backpack nearby, so one of them must be carrying the bags. They're a group of men who all look to be in their twenties or thirties.

They're attacking bravely, but their sword slashes only scrape the surface, and their spear thrusts only slight pierce to the tip. The dagger user circles around and slashes, but it doesn't seem like he's doing any damage.

"Damn, you bastard!"

"Hey, you idiot, have you lost your mind!"

The man wielding the one-handed sword raised his sword high and slammed it down with all his might. Although the attack hit the abdomen, the blow with all his might only caused a scratch on the surface.

"Ugh, damn it!"

"It would be one thing if you had aimed for the joints, but there's no way such a reckless attack will get through!"

The price of the thoughtless blow was heavy. The man's sword broke in two, and the remaining blade was only as long as a short sword.

"As I thought, we can't take on a golem without a blunt weapon. Let's retreat!"

"Tch, you're useless!"

The man with the buckler scolded the one-handed sword user. Who threw the remaining handle at the golem. There was no way such an attack would work on the golem, and the handle fell to the ground.

"Hey, let's get out of here quickly. Don't forget the backpack!"

"Wait a second!"

Golems are slow, so there is almost no risk of flooding if they run away. So the decision to retreat if you can't win wasn't a bad one.

However, that was only if you could retreat quickly. The scout-like man who was using the short sword hurriedly ran over to his backpack and put it on. However, perhaps because he was in a hurry, he couldn't put it on properly.

"What are you doing? Don't be slow. The golem is coming!"

"Wait, eh? Ahh!"

The golem isn't fast, but it's four meters tall, so it has a wide stride. So it approaches faster than it looks, and if you're not careful, you'll get hit with a powerful blow.

The golem, having caught the man with the short sword within striking distance, raised its right arm and was about to deliver a powerful blow. It would be one thing if it were the swordsman, but if the man who looks like a scout takes it, he definitely won’t get away unscathed.

"I can't bear to abandon him. I have no choice."

I kicked the foothold I'd made with [air walk] and jumped towards the golem. I spin in the air and kick the golem with force, slamming it into its torso.

"Akira!... Eh?"

The other spear user shouts the name (I think) of the dagger user who is in a desperate situation, but soon made a stupid face. It's no wonder, since the enemy was blown away the moment he thought his comrade would be killed.

And standing where the golem was a beautiful girl dressed in a shrine maiden outfit who shouldn't be in this place, the 17th floor of the dungeon. It would be strange if he could understand the situation instantly.

"It was a dangerous situation, so I had to intervene. I don't intend to steal your prey, but what should I do?"

"Ah, uh, thanks for saving us. We can't defeat it by ourselves. If you can defeat it, can you please defeat it?"

"Fumu, I understand. Then I'll take that prey."

Akira (temporary) came to his senses and gave his approval, so I decided to take the golem. The golem that was blown away rose to its feet, staring at me, and seemed to recognize me as an enemy.

The foxfire probably wouldn't work, and the iron fan's slashes probably wouldn't be very effective either. But I managed to blow it away with brute force, so I guess I won't lose.

Chapter 065

Heading towards the 16th floor, I defeat the occasional salamander that I encounter. I can defeat them without taking damage, but it takes time to defeat them because foxfire doesn't work on them.

Well, it's a luxurious problem since I am progressing solo on a floor where normally parties are needed.

The monsters that appear on the 16th floor are Pack Wolves. Here, multiple monsters attack at the same time. Up until now, explorers were able to use a strategy of beating up a single monster with multiple people, but this doesn't work here, so the difficulty level rises.

The 16th floor is a labyrinth field. In the grasslands and wilderness, there is a risk of being attacked from all sides, but here, at worst, I'll be attacked from the front and back, so the difficulty level is slightly lower.

"Grrrrr..."

Five wolves immediately appeared from the front. Spec-wise, they are only slightly higher than the lone wolves, but they attack in groups, so if you think they're on par with the lone wolves, you'll be in for a nasty surprise.

First I hit the lead wolf with a foxfire. When it jumped to avoid, I hit it with another foxfire, but the wolf couldn't dodge and burst into flames.

The wolf stopped moving and turned into a magic stone, so I now know that a single foxfire is fatal. However, it would be dodged if I just fired straight at them, so it's best to think of it as needing two.

Two of the remaining four wolves charged at me. Perhaps they had learned that jumping was dangerous, they ran in a low position. I shot a foxfire at each of them to keep them at bay.

The other two wolves jumped out from behind the wolves that had stopped to avoid being hit. This coordination is what makes pack wolves so troublesome. But it doesn't work on me.

I quickly created a foxfire and hit the two wolves directly in the face. I dodged the burning wolf charging at me and looked at the remaining two, and I saw that they had also jumped in.

I crouched down to avoid a wolf's fangs and cut open its soft stomach with my iron fan. One of the wolves turned around after landing to face me, but the slashed wolf had turned into a magic stone.

Five wolves were no match, so there was no chance of victory for the last one. It jumped to dodge the foxfire I unleashed and used the wall to feint with a triple jump, but was quickly cut to pieces by the iron fan.

I was suddenly faced with five wolves, the maximum number on this floor, but I was able to hunt them down without taking any damage. As long as I wasn't sandwiched between two or more packs, I should be able to proceed without any problems.

After that, I continued on, defeating the wolves that occasionally attacked me. I also obtained a rare fur drop and was able to proceed smoothly.

I safely arrived at the whirlpool leading to the 17th floor, but since a lot of time had passed, I decided to go inside the lost house. I harvested potatoes, onions, and carrots in the fields and made charging pig nikujaga.

I felt like I received a thought from someone that seemed to be craving food, so I offered it to the shrine. I thought I heard a complaint about there being no shirataki noodles, but since I hadn’t brought any, I hope to be forgiven.

I took a bath to soothe my fatigue, and then stroked my own tail before going to bed. Even though it's my own tail, this fluffiness is addictive.

After a good night's sleep, I had a Charge bull beef bowl for breakfast. I made a mental note to remember to bring pickled ginger with me next time.

After making sure that no one was outside, I left the lost house. I entered the vortex to the 17th floor and appeared in a grassy field. It seemed there was another party here, and I could faintly hear the sounds of fighting from a distance.

I air-walked into the air and headed towards the sound. Let's take a look at what kind of battles ordinary explorers fight.

Daily Life of a Reincarnated Explorer (ENG) C064

Chapter 064

On the way to the 14th floor, I was attacked by kobolds several times. However, Tamamo's senses were so sharp that I could detect the sound and presence of approaching kobolds, so it wasn't a surprise attack, and the kobolds were weaklings that could be easily burned, as they were less agile than the Fire Hawk and less physically strong than the Orc.

Normal fire magic would ignite the trees, so I hesitated to use it, but foxfire only burns what I want. So I didn't hesitate to roast them whole with foxfire.

The 14th floor was a grass field. The monsters that appear on this floor are insect-type monsters called jumping centipedes. They are giant centipedes, but when you get close, they jump up, and skillfully wrap around you.

This was a grass field, but if it had been a cave or labyrinth, they would drop from the ceiling and wrap around me, making them a difficult enemy.

As you would expect from a centipede, their exoskeleton is hard, and if you fight with a sword, you can't deal effective damage unless you aim for their joints. This is an opponent that requires magic or a blunt weapon.

As I walked cautiously, a jumping centipede approached me immediately. I dodged the centipede that jumped at me and slashed at its leg. The sharp blade on the outer edge of the iron fan easily cut through the centipede's exoskeleton.

Several legs fell off, and the centipede threatened me by clanging its large fangs. However, since I had proven that I could cut it down with the iron fan, it was not a scary opponent.

As the centipede tried to bite me to pieces from the front with its fangs, I slashed it repeatedly, slicing through its fangs and head. Its head was left in tatters from the cuts, and it turned into a magic stone.

I headed for the fifteenth floor while searching for my next prey. I fired two foxfires at the jumping centipede that appeared and burned it down. The rare drop, the centipede shell can be sold for a high price as material for armor, but here too, the greed sensor must have done its job, and I didn't get any.

And the next floor is the fifteenth. The field is a wilderness and visibility is not bad. The monster that appears here is called Salamander. As its name suggests, it is a lizard that uses fire magic.

I thought about fighting on my way to the sixteenth floor, but I decided to fill my stomach first. It is always midday inside the dungeon, so it is hard to tell the passage of time.

I harvested cucumbers and tomatoes from the lost house's fields. I had eaten steak twice in a row, so this time I opted for shabu-shabu. The lightly cooked meat was delicious enough even without sauce.

I suppressed my desire to eat more and left the lost house. It's not good to have a full stomach if I'm going to exercise soon.

As I followed the path to the sixteenth floor, a Salamander appeared. Although it's just a lizard, it is bigger than a crocodile, so it is quite impressive.

Thinking that it probably wouldn't work, I fired a foxfire at it just to be sure. It hit its face but it didn't seem to have any effect. It fired a fireball in return. I also blocked with my outstretched fan. Since neither side can use projectiles, the battle shifts to close combat.

The salamander moves its short legs deftly as it approaches. Sadly, since fire magic is ineffective, the only attacks left are bites and strikes with its tail.

I move to the right to dodge its full-force bite, and it swings its whip-like tail. I intercept it with my closed iron fan, knocking it down, then deliver a heel strike to its vulnerable torso.

The salamander's back should be fairly tough, but the damage seemed to reach its internal organs, and it stopped moving. I kicked it into the air and swung the closed iron fan down on its head, slamming it into the ground, where it instantly transformed into a magic stone.

Even if the foxfire doesn't work, it looks like I can still fight solo. I'll try diving a little further.

Chapter 063

"I changed my plans and got so absorbed in hunting cows, should I consider extending it even further?"

I spent several hours passionately trying to exterminate cows. After successfully securing some beef, I returned to the lost home. I put the magic stones and meat I had thrown on the floor in a plastic bag and put them away in the lost house.

I immediately cut the beef into pieces and put it in a frying pan with oil, and the sizzling sound stimulated my appetite. I simply sprinkled salt and pepper on it for the time being.

I cooked it medium-well, put it on a plate, and brought it to the table. I put some rice in a bowl and started to eat.... But then, strangely enough, I noticed that the amount of beef I had cut had been reduced by half.

I felt like I was being watched from somewhere, so I cooked another piece of meat. I wondered how to cook it... Ah, medium well would be good.

I left the house with a plate of piping hot steak and headed to the shrine. As I placed the plate in front of the shrine, it disappeared in an instant. At the same time, I heard a cry of joy ring out in my head.

Unable to resist the increased sleepiness from my full stomach, I decided to go to bed for the night. I would definitely advance to the twelfth floor tomorrow. Since my day and night schedule had been reversed, technically it would be tonight, but I shouldn't worry about the details.

After getting a good night's sleep, I grilled another steak. This time I enjoyed it with garlic sauce. Suppressing the urge to hunt more cows, I headed to the twelfth floor.

The twelfth floor of this dungeon is a labyrinth. The artificial passages branched out to confuse intruders. Around a bend in one of these passages, the monster of this floor appeared.

It was a single hawk that appeared. It charged at high speed, but it didn't feel as threatening as the charge bull. I calmly dodged it and slashed with my fan, then it was transformed into a magic stone.

"If only the terrain were the opposite of the 11th floor."

I couldn't help but feel sorry for the monster that had turned into a magic stone. Its name is Fire Hawk. It is a formidable enemy that flies through the sky at high speed and casts fire magic as it descends.

Just like how I am unrivaled with my [Sky Walk] and [Foxfire], this is an extremely formidable enemy that shoots fireballs from the sky... Or so it should be, but the terrain is just too bad.

The ceiling means it can't gain height, so unilateral sniping is impossible. Furthermore, because it is a complicated labyrinth stage, it can only charge in without making use of its speed.

Even if it shoots fireballs, it is easy to dodge fireballs shot head-on, so they only serve as a deterrent.

It's a brutal specification that you have to deal with a high-speed, long-range fire hawk right after dealing with heavy monsters like the Drop Turtle, Orc, and Charge Bull.

... Or so it should have, but with this terrain it's just an easy target. I think the Fire Hawks born in this dungeon can be forgiven for cursing the dungeon.

However, monsters are monsters, so I cut down the fire hawks I encounter and head to the thirteenth floor. They can dodge foxfires, so it's easier to defeat them by slashing them as they pass.

I proceeded while slashing the poor hawks and arrived at the next floor, the thirteenth floor. This floor is a forest and it blocks the view. Considering the monsters that appear, it might be a bit troublesome.

Sensing a presence behind me, I turned around and slashed with my fan. The claws that were about to stab me from behind were cut off along with it's arm and fell to the ground.

"Grrr, grrr..."

Having lost its right arm, the beast stood upright, glaring at me with obvious hatred. The kobolds, famous enemies in fantasy, are the monsters on this floor. Although they are weaker than the blue bears and orcs in power, many explorers are troubled by their tactics of hiding their presence, quickly approaching, and stabbing with their claws.

The Kobold, having grown tired of the staring contest, attacked. I dodged the swung left arm and slashed its throat. It was enough to be a fatal blow for the kobold, who didn't have much physical strength.

Daily Life of a Reincarnated Explorer (ENG) C062

Chapter 062

After a short nap, I had rice and ginger-fried pork for dinner. The shredded fresh cabbage was sweet and delicious even without any toppings... It feels like the crops in the fields are increasing.

There is no day or night in the dungeon, but the clock shows 10 o'clock at night. Humans are strange creatures, and even in a dungeon where there is no night, they move according to the same time schedule as on the surface.

In other words, since many explorers leave the dungeon at this time, and explorers who are staying overnight and diving deep also take a rest, it will be hard to spot me even if I explore as Tamamo.

First, I descend to the tenth floor and aim for the eleventh floor, which will be my first experience this time. I roast alive the orcs I encounter along the way with foxfire.

I rely on the map and proceed to the eleventh floor. The eleventh floor of this dungeon is a grassland. I don't even have to look for monsters, I can see its figure charging towards me.

"Bumooo!"

It's a monster called Charge Bull, a superior version of the Charging Pig, which boasts speeds that surpass its predecessor and a larger body than the Charging Pig. Couldn't they have come up with a more inventive name? I feel like pointing that out.

While I was thinking about trivial things, the Charge Bull approached me, and I sidestepped it. Realizing that my attack had missed, the Charge Bull braced its feet and slammed on the brakes to a halt.

It then immediately turned around and came at me again. I fired a foxfire and sent it flying at the Charge Bull. It seemed to notice, but it didn't seem to be nimble enough to dodge.

The Charge Bull was hit in the head by the foxfire, and it burst into flames, charging at me as a flaming bull. I frantically used [air walk] to escape into the air. The Charge Bull passed where I was, took a few shaky steps, and transformed into a magic stone.

Unlike the charging pigs, the charge bull will calmly turn around and charge again even if you avoid its charge and make it crash into a wall. Therefore, I thought it would have more vitality than the charging pigs, but I didn't expect it to charge just like that even after hitting it with foxfire.

I picked up the magic stone and threw it into the lost house that I opened for a moment. I left the shortest route to the twelfth floor and looked for my next prey. Soon, the next charge bull charged.

I dodged by jumping sideways, cut its neck with a fan as it passed me, and jumped to avoid the blood splatter. It seems that the heavy bleeding worked, and as it passed by, its feet gradually stopped and it turned into a block of meat.

"Wow, a rare drop, the beef already!"

With the seasonings I brought today, I would have to make steak, but if I brought other seasonings and ingredients, I could have the luxury of having sukiyaki inside the dungeon.

"I was thinking of diving deeper, but it doesn't hurt to take a little detour, right?"

I ran a little more seriously to look for the next beef... I mean, the charge bull. One foxfire didn't kill it instantly, so I hit it with two at the same time, and the charge bull instantly transformed into a magic stone.

My goal changed to gathering meat, so I used [air walk] to hunt the charge bull from the air. There were no eccentrics spending the night on this floor, so I was able to hunt in peace.

The ones who really dive deep camp lower, and if they want to camp on a shallow floor for training, they choose the ninth floor. The drop turtles don't move, so it's easy to camp there.

"Damn, Greed Sensor-san, you don't have to work so hard..."

The meat that dropped easily with the second one didn't drop easily. Greed Sensor-san, no one will complain if you slack off on work sometimes, okay?

Hey Tamamo, we were planning to quickly move on to the next level, so why are you hunting cows here?!

Chapter 061

The next day, after completing my morning routine, I boarded the train to Ueno. Normally, this line would be so crowded that I couldn't move during rush hour, but since it was summer vacation and there were no students, it seemed empty.

Even so, getting a seat was a mere dream, the train was so crowded that I hesitated to even open a paperback, let alone a newspaper. Still, I was grateful that I could get there without having to transfer.

"Um, the dungeon is at Shinobazu Exit..."

Just like Ueno Station in my previous life, Ueno Station was the northern gateway and had multiple ticket gates. Since a dungeon was created between Okachimachi and Ueno Station, I walked along the road that ran alongside the tracks.

In this world, Ameyoko does not exist. Instead, Kappabashi Tool Street is not specialized in tools, and is a huge shopping street that is like the Tool Street of my previous life with Ameyoko added.

On the way, I bought some seasonings such as salt, pepper, and miso, as well as rice, and packed them in my backpack. I'm going to take this to the lost house.

Turn right halfway between Okachimachi and the main street and head towards the main road. Soon the guild building comes into view. It's easy to find as people who look like explorers are coming and going.

"Another very thin one has come in. Could it be a magic user?"

"Hmm, I feel like I've seen that somewhere before..."

Local explorers are whispering to each other as they look at me. I think it would be better to buy a map and go in before I get bothered.

I bought a map at an open counter. I bought all the existing maps instead of just up to the 10th floor, so it was quite expensive, but it's a necessary expense so I don't mind.

"Okay, I’m here. A cave field, huh."

The monsters on the way are the same as my usual dungeon, so I quickly defeated only the unavoidable ones and arrived at the ninth floor. I'm going to go turtle hunting here... Or so I pretended.

I stray from the shortcut to the lower floors and took off my backpack. I activate [female body] and [spirit fox transformation] and transform into Tamamo. I open the lost house and take my backpack.

I put the seasonings and rice I bought and start cooking rice in the rice cooker provided. This is my first time cooking rice here, but I wonder what will happen if I go outside while it's cooking?

I should test that out. I go outside and immediately go back into the lost house. I check the rice cooker and it's on keep warm mode. I look at the rice cooker and see that it's filled with shiny, freshly cooked rice.

"What's going on with the passage of time here? Well, it's convenient, so I’m grateful for it, though."

I wash the rice, set it, and go in and out, and the rice will cook right away. Well, there's no inconvenience and it's not like there's anything to be gained by thinking about it, so I'll just accept it as that kind of place.

I made sure there were no other explorers around and hunted for drop turtles. After eating a lunch of freshly picked vegetables, salt-grilled rainbow trout, and freshly cooked rice, I took a break.

I stroked my own tail, enjoyed it, then put the magic stone of the drop turtle in my backpack and carried it on my back. I left the lost house like that, released the skill, and returned to being a man.

After that, I returned to the surface and sold the magic stones at the reception desk. The receptionist cried out in surprise when she saw the appraisal results of the magic stones.

"So many drop turtle magic stones..."

"I want the shell, so I'll bring some more. Oh, please transfer the payment to my account."

I left the receptionist dumbfounded and headed back to the dungeon. The explorers around me were whispering to each other, so I must have made an impression.

"I'm so tired..."

"Please take a good rest tomorrow."

Mom carefully massages Dad's calves, who is lying exhausted on the sofa. On the way back from the Suichu village, we stopped at a glass workshop to experience glass blowing and enter the Kannon statue to enjoy the magnificent view. We were able to return home without any trouble.

However, we made a detour on the way and got caught in the evening traffic, which left dad, who was the driver, exhausted. Although he had lunch and dinner and rested, he collapsed as soon as he got home.

"Dad, you've done well. I'm going to get my driver's license too, so I'll be able to take over."

"Thank you. But it'll be four years at the earliest."

I can't get my driver's license until I am 18, so it's still a long way off. Dad doesn't seem to want Mom to get her license, so I want him to wait until then.

Previously, when Mom said she was thinking about getting a license, Dad stopped her with all his might, so there must be some reason. I tried to ask Dad, but he looked off into the distance and went silent, so I couldn't ask.

"Oh yeah, I want to go to Tokyo for a few days during the summer break. Is that okay?"

"Going to Tokyo? Is there something going on?"

"Onii-chan, you're not going to go to a doujinshi sale by yourself!"

Mai, exhausted from the excitement of the trip, joined the conversation. In this world, a large-scale sale is held twice a year, but that's not my purpose.

"No. I want to get the shell of a drop turtle and have it processed into a shield. There's probably no one in Saitama who has the skill to process dropped items."

The processing of weapons from materials obtained in dungeons is basically done by those with the appropriate skills. Cooking meat or processing easy-to-process materials can be done without skills, but to process hard shells, you need to ask someone with the skills.

"In that case, you have no choice but to go to Tokyo. How many days do you plan to take?"

"It seems to be quite hard to find, but there doesn't seem to be anyone hunting for it, so I can't say for sure. I'm thinking of aiming for a week to ten days."

In reality, since I've already secured the actual item, it will only take the number of days necessary to process it, but if I suddenly brought the shell over, people would wonder where I brought it from, so I'll make it look like I'm going to go into the local dungeon and hunt for turtles.

I'm planning to say it took three or four days to appear, and I'm thinking it will take a week to process it. But I can't say that.

"I see. Do you have a place to stay?"

"I looked it up online, and it seems there are cheap hotels for explorers. I'll stay there."

I replied, but that was a big lie. I also wanted to experience camping inside the dungeon. That said, I'll be staying in the [Lost House], so it's not really camping at all.

"I see. I'm a little worried, but I'm sure Yu will be fine. When do you plan to go?"

"I haven't been in a dungeon for a while, so I'm going to dive into the usual dungeon tomorrow to get my senses back. If nothing happens, I'll probably start the day after tomorrow."

"Mm, I can't believe I can't see you for over a week..."

Mai is sulking, but please understand. Next year she will be a middle school student, and although it will be sad, she needs to let go of me a little. If I were told "Don't wash your underwear with mine!" I'd be endlessly depressed, so it's best to do it in moderation.

"My skills are more effective when I have a variety of weapons and armor. I want to get them little by little."

I'll negotiate with the army after I've equipped myself and made some achievements. I have to work hard to keep my promise to the goddess-sama.

Chapter 059

"Onee-chan, this one is cute too! Oh, that one looks fun!"

"Mai, if you run that fast, you'll fall over."

Mai jogs around the souvenir corner of the inn, looking for souvenirs. I think you can guess from her her calling me Onee-chan, but I'm now in female form.

I was forced to agree to this as the price for Mai, who wanted to go out and see Saeko, to stay inside the inn.

"Key chains, wooden swords, tapestries... Ideas don't change that much even in different worlds."

The souvenirs lined up are the same as the familiar lineup from my previous life. Is this convergent evolution, where efficiency is pursued in the same way?

"Customer, can I have a moment?"

"Eh, is it me?"

As I was looking for souvenirs with Mai, a waitress called out to me. Although she was smiling, I could tell she was wary of me.

"You're wearing our inn's yukata, but we don't know who you are. We'd like to hear your story."

"Yeah, I suppose so. I understand."

From the inn's point of view, a suspicious person who isn't staying at the inn is wearing the inn's yukata and is with a girl who is a guest. To ensure the safety of the guests, they need to question me.

The waitress takes me into an area off-limits to anyone but those involved. I'm offered a chair in what seems to be an office, and made to sit a little distance away from Mai.

Mai looks unhappy, but right now I'm a suspicious person who's somehow managed to get into the inn. It's the right thing to do to separate me from the guests who should be protected.

"I am the eldest son of Takimoto, who is staying here. I'm sure it's written on the guest list. This appearance is the effect of a skill."

"Well, Takimoto-sensei's eldest son is a cute boy that I want to admire all day, but he's definitely a man... Huh, a skill?"

I wanted to lecture the waitress for an hour for making such disturbing remarks, but I decided to ignore it because it would be a waste of time to get into a complicated situation.

"Yes, I was given the skill [female body] by God. When I deactivate it, it looks like this..."

I deactivate my female body transformation and return to my male body, casually dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. The waitress is shocked and freezes, but that's a natural reaction.

"Huh, you can freely become a woman or a man, so you can enjoy both... Cough, sorry. So such a skill exists. But does it change your clothes as well?"

"That's the effect of another skill called [Dress-up Doll]. There seems to be no other example, so I don't think you know about it."

I pull out a status card to prove my point. Waitress-san seemed completely convinced.

"We might be bothering you again, so would it be okay if I shared this information among the staff?"

"Yes, there's no problem if it's shared within the inn."

It's not a skill that would be a problem if people knew about it, but it's not something I'd want to spread around. It shouldn't be a problem within this inn.

"You have the godly skill of being able to enjoy beautiful boys and beautiful girls, I'm jealous."

"Both Onee-chans are beautiful, aren't they?"

"Would you like to be my sister-in-law, customer?"

Waitress-san and Mai seem to get along well. What does she mean by "Both Onee-chans"? And waitress-san, don't go after me so casually!

Although some trouble occurred, we bought some souvenirs and decided to go home tomorrow. There's no way a flag would be raised and an event would occur from here... Right?

"Oh, Mai-chan, what's wrong?"

"Oh, Mom! I'm accompanying Saeko-chan."

We entered the office and followed the sign that said "Temporary Examination Room." down the hallway, where Mom was sitting in front of a desk marked "Reception."

"Are you Mai's mother? My Saeko was scared, but Mai persuaded her to come with us. Thank you."

"I see. Thank you, Mai-chan."

Mai puffs out her chest after being praised by the two moms. I don't think it's because I'm a doting older brother that I think her smug face is cute.

"So what's your name then... Yes, thank you. Please come in. Ah, Mai-chan..."

"Onee-chan, come with me too!"

Mom tried to make Mai, who isn't part of Saeko's family, wait here, but Saeko wouldn't let go of her hand. She's become very attached to her.

"Well, what should we do?"

"They're the doctor's family, so as long as they're not sick, there's no problem. Mai-chan, will you stay with her?"

Saeko-chan's mother answered with a wry smile to my confused mom. Before Mai could answer, Saeko-chan pulled Mai's hand and went inside.

"Yu, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, we just wandered around the hot spring town, so nothing unusual happened except for Saeko-chan."

Even though there was no one in sight, my mother asked in a low voice. So I answered in a low voice.

"Okay, that's good. When Mai-chan comes back, you two stay at the inn and wait. We'll explain when we get back."

"Got it."

It seems like something's wrong. If that's the case, it's best not to go out and get too close to danger.

"It really was over with just a squeeze of hands!"

"See, it wasn't scary, was it?"

I heard Saeko-chan and Mai's voices after the examination. If the patient is healthy, the examination is very short, as it only requires a squeeze of hands.

"Mai, it's almost time for lunch, so let's go back to the inn."

"Okay. Well, Saeko-chan, take care!"

Saeko-chan didn't seem to want to leave Mai, but she went home half crying in her mother's arms. We couldn't stay together forever, so it had to be.

I took Mai back to a nearby inn and had lunch. The mushroom tempura and miso konnyaku, both produced locally in the prefecture, were very delicious.

"Shall we go for another walk after lunch?"

"No, let's take it easy in the afternoon. Shall we watch a video?"

I followed my mother's instructions and took Mai back to my room. I spent the night watching anime and animal videos on my smartphone.

Soon my father and mother came back. After eating an early dinner in the room, Mom took Mai to the large public bath. Dad and I went to the men's bath.

It was still early, so there were no other bathers. I whispered to Dad.

"Dad, what happened?"

"Yeah, it seems like the conflict between the tourist-attracting and anti-tourist faction has intensified and become unsettling. Apparently the village mayor changed from a tourist-attracting faction to an anti-tourist faction this year."

Even though the pro-tourist mayor put effort into tourism, the number of tourists did not increase. The anti-tourist group blamed the tourist-attracting group, saying that they should have used the budget for the villagers instead.

As a result, the mayor was replaced and the anti-tourist group became more powerful, and they are acting as if they are venting their frustrations.

"That's a nuisance..."

"Exactly. Well, that's why, so please stay at the inn tomorrow."

Can the village provide everything? I wonder, but it's not for an outsider to say anything. We'll just go back the day after tomorrow.

"Well, I'm off. Yu, I'm counting on you to take care of Mai."

"Mai-chan, don't leave Yu-chan."

"Yes!"

The next morning, Mai and I saw my parents off as they headed to the doctor's office. Mai clung to my arm, following my mother's orders.

"Mai, it's hard to walk."

"But Mom said you shouldn't leave me alone!"

Mai will be a junior high school student next year, and while she's still a child, she's already starting to develop into a woman. If she gets that close, the memories of yesterday that were overwritten by the delicious dinner and breakfast will come back.

"Come on, I told you we were going for a walk, didn't I?"

"Yes! Onii-chan, let's go!"

Mai grabs my hand and starts running. The hot springs in the mountains are cool even in midsummer, so I don't mind the scorching sun.

Since I don't have a specific purpose, I just walk towards the station. The streets are lined with inns, souvenir shops, and old stores, giving you a sense of the history of the hot springs.

"Onii-chan, what's that?"

Mai points to a metal fitting in the middle of the road. Metal pieces a little bigger than a 500 yen coin are embedded in the middle of the road with equal spacing between them.

"That's probably a snow melting device. A lot of snow piles up around here, so they melt the snow by spraying groundwater and hot spring water."

"Amazing, so people don't have to shovel the snow!"

We live in the plains of Saitama, so snow piles up on the roads maybe once a year. Naturally, this is the first time I've seen equipment for melting snow.

"Oh, it's a manju shop... But it's closed."

"Maybe it's not open yet. Let's check it out on the way home."

Even though it's close to the station, most of the shops lined up are closed. I think some shops haven't opened yet, but there were quite a few that were clearly closed.

"Saeko, do you hate it that much?"

"No, it's scary!"

I heard a girl crying and looked over to see a young girl sitting down and crying. Next to her was a young woman who seemed to be her mother, with a troubled look on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"The doctor came, so I went to take my daughter to the doctor, but she got scared..."

The mother answered a question from me, a complete stranger, on impulse. She must be in a lot of trouble.

"Saeko, what are you scared of about doctors?"

"They make you open your mouth wide and take weird pictures..."

It must be scary to have things done to you that you can't understand as a small child. Mai smiled when she heard the answer.

"Saeko, do you want to shake hands with Onee-chan?"

"Hands? Yes!"

Saeko shook Mai's offered hand. Her mother didn't understand Mai's intentions, but she watched over her, thinking that she meant no harm.

"Saeko-chan, it's okay to hold hands. The doctor today will only hold hands, so there's nothing to be scared of."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's true. So let's go together."

"Yeah, I'll go with Onee-chan!"

Saeko-chan, who had been crying until just now, is smiling and holding Mai's hand tightly. The mom seems relieved that the difficult problem has been solved, but it seems that she realized for the first time that she didn't know us.

"Um, thank you. Maybe you're the family member of the doctor who came to see us?"

"Yes, Mai and I accompanied my parents who came here for the examinations. My father will examine with his skill, so as Mai said, he'll just have to hold hands."

We decided to stop our walk and go back, but that was Mai-onee-chan's choice. When I saw Mai and Saeko-chan's smiles, there was no other choice but to go together.

Chapter 056

"Mai, that's not okay. It's not something that's allowed."

"What?! Why?"

I'm trying to somehow convince the stubborn Mai. Mom looks at me with a smile, while Dad looks off into the distance, escaping reality. Can you please persuade Mai instead of running away?

"Onii-chan, let's go into the big bath!"

"Yeah, it's not often you can use a big bath, so I'm looking forward to it."

It all started when Mai said she wanted to take a bath. The only time I've ever taken a bath with a large group of people was during my elementary school field trip, and I'm looking forward to it too, so I have no objections.

"Let's go quickly! I'm going to take a bath with Onii-chan!"

"Eh, Mai, wait a minute. Onii-chan will be taking a bath with the men, so we can't take a bath together, okay?"

I don't think she really thinks we'll take a bath together, but I have to make sure of it. Then Mai's expression changed visibly.

"Onii-chan, can't we take a bath together?"

"I am a middle school student, after all. I can't take a bath with girls."

You'd think that an older elementary school student would know better, but perhaps she's acting a bit childish, excited about her first family trip.

"No way... Ah, then why don't you become a girl? Onii-chan, become an Onee-chan!"

"That would certainly solve the problem if you became a girl."

"Hey, don't even say something outrageous, Mom!"

Since it's not public knowledge that I have the skill to transform into a woman and then back into a man, there's a good chance I won't get caught if I transform into a woman, take a bath in the women's bath, and then transform back into a man in my room.

However, once I do that, there's no stopping it. The law doesn't anticipate such a thing, so it may not be illegal, but that's exactly why I have to exercise self-restraint.

"Yu-chan, you're stubborn. Mom wants to take a bath with Mai-chan and Yu-chan."

"You're my guardian, so don't tempt me like that! Even if I were to give in and take a bath with Mom and Mai, it would be bad if there were other guests!"

I continued to desperately try to persuade her. However, the moment they heard my rebuttal, a grin appeared on Mom's and Mai's face.

"That's right. It would be bad if there were other guests. So let's take a bath together in the open-air bath in our room where no other guests come."

"It's fine if there are no other guests in our room. So Onii-chan be an Onee-chan, okay?"

At that moment, I realized that Mom and Mai had tricked me. When did they make such plan?

"Um, Dad?"

I looked to Dad for help, but he averted his eyes and ran away. It seemed that there were no allies for me here.

"Dad is going to check out the souvenirs in the lobby for a bit."

"Go ahead, take your time."

Mom sees Dad off with a smile as he quickly leaves. Is there no God or Buddha in this world?

[There's no need to worry. God is always recording... Ahem, watching over you.]

I thought I heard the voice of the goddess-sama who left the message at the Lost House in my head, but it was probably just my imagination. I'd like to think it was just my imagination.

Taking a bath with them like that would be bad in many ways, so I resigned myself to it and transformed into a woman and got into the open-air bath.

Mother and Mai looked happy, and the mountains visible from the bath were majestic and beautiful. My reason and sanity were being slowly chipped away, but I'll call it a good day.

Chapter 055

"Which one should I get... I can't decide"

Right now we're at a bento counter in a major station where the high-speed train stops. We decided to buy the famous station bento here for lunch.

One is a bento in a Daruma-shaped container. It's named after the Bodhidharma Daishi temple nearby. The other is a bento in a small kettle. It's a famous item that's been around for a long time.

"Let's pay respects to the history here and get kamameshi."

"Excuse me, can I have two Daruma bentos and two kamameshi please?"

Mom pays and I get the bag with the bento in it. Mom and I chose kamameshi, while Mai and Dad chose the Daruma bento.

"Onii-chan, can I have some of your kamameshi?"

"That's good. I'll have some of that too."

"Dad, please."

"Thanks. Mom, here you go."

In the end, the siblings and the couple shared both bentos and were able to enjoy both. Both were delicious and I wanted to buy them again on the way home.

Back on the national highway, we continued heading north. We passed through the Kanto Plain and the mountains came into view. The same huge white Kannon statue from my previous life looked down from the top of the mountain.

"It looks like you can go inside that Kannon-sama and climb it."

"Shall we stop by on the way back?"

I looked at the beautiful river flowing along the national highway while listening to the conversation between my mom and dad in high spirits. Eventually the national highway narrowed and we drove towards the mountains.

"Yu, Mai, are you feeling sick?"

"I'm fine."

"I'm fine for now too."

As we entered the mountain road with many curves, my dad was concerned about our health. It was his first time driving this long, and it was on this mountain road. I guess he was worried about us getting car sick.

"Is this an amusement park?"

"It feels so retro. I want to go!"

On the way, I was surprised by a small amusement park attached to a drive-in, and I was surprised at how high the bridge was when I crossed it.

"Um, it should be around here... There is it!"

After a long drive, we arrived at a hotel town built around the station. We parked the car in the town hall parking lot a little way from the station and went inside.

"Excuse me, this is Takimoto, who will be seeing patients from tomorrow..."

"We've been waiting for you, Dr. Takimoto. Welcome to Suichu!"

When Dad told the staff at the counter, they greeted him with a smile.

"We'll take you to the inn where you'll be staying right away. This way, this way."

We were shown to a hot spring inn located very close to the town hall. We turned the car around and put our luggage down. Dad can examine patients with his skill, he doesn't need much medical equipment, so he doesn't have much luggage.

After Mom finished the reception, the waitress guided her to the room where she would be staying. The room she was shown to was a stylish Japanese-style room with an open-air hot spring.

"Please take a rest today and start your medical examination tomorrow. It will be held at the town hall, so we will pick you up at 9am tomorrow."

The town hall staff left, and the waitress explained the room and left.

"Dad, thank you for your hard work. You must be tired from driving unfamiliar roads."

"Yeah, I suppose so. But I'm the only one with a license, so it can't be helped."

As Dad sipped the tea Mom had made, I asked him about something that had been bothering me.

"Hey, the station is close by, but couldn't you have taken the train?"

If he had taken the high-speed train to the station where he bought the bento and then changed to a local line, he would have been able to get there quicker and wouldn't have had to wear himself out as much.

"... Ah, yeah, that was an option."

It seemed that the train option hadn't even crossed Dad's mind. For me, it's good because I enjoy the drive.

"Do you have everything? We're leaving!"

Today is the long-awaited day of the trip. I wake up early and get into the eight-seater magic stone car. The magic stone car, which does not use an engine and is powered by magic stone energy, starts moving silently.

"If you get hungry, tell me, I've got a bento for you."

"I'm looking forward to that. Mom's bento is delicious."

Since we're leaving early, I decided to eat the bento my mom made for breakfast. I thought it would be boring to eat at a convenience store, and it would be too early to go to a store.

"Do you have a salad, too, Onii-chan? I love those tomatoes!"

"I brought some cucumbers too. Yu-chan, where did you buy them from?"

"Haha, that's a secret."

I brought tomatoes and cucumbers home from the turtle hunt, and they were so popular that I started bringing them home every time. I couldn't tell them I picked them from the lost house's field, so I lied.

The car heads north on the national highway. There are highways in this world, but we won't use them this time. There's an interchange near our destination, which is convenient, but my dad, who doesn't usually drive, is hesitant to drive on the highway.

A truck passes us in the passing lane as we drive at the legal speed. There are many trucks along National Route 17, as there are industrial complexes scattered along the road.

"Onii-chan, this is Teisan Motors. It's big!"

"I wonder if they make trucks here."

Mai's eyes light up at the stores and factories along the road, and she's excited. I'm getting a little excited too. It's fun to see a different view than usual.

"Which way should we go...?"

"There are a lot of trucks over there, so let's take this one."

At the fork where the national highway splits into the old road and the bypass, we discussed it and chose the old road. There are a lot of trucks on the bypass, which is scary, and it seems more interesting to go through the city.

"I'm getting hungry. Let's take a break."

We stopped at a convenience store on the way and had breakfast. I felt bad just renting the parking lot, so I bought tea for everyone.

We opened our lunch boxes and ate together. There was even miso prepared for the cucumbers, so we added it and enjoyed it. I have to add miso to my stock at the lost house.

We ate everything and set off again. We ran parallel to the national railway tracks and headed north.

"Dad, that village isn't really a remote place, is it? Why haven't they decided on a new doctor?"

"Yeah, there's a dungeon nearby that village. Apparently, there's a level where special monsters appear, so no one wants to go."

I was able to find it right away by searching the place name. The village is near the 1999 dungeon, and special monsters appear there.

Normally, it would be a dungeon where you can get rare drops, but the monster that appears there are ghosts. Since it's a ghost, physical attacks don't work, and only those with magic skills can deal with it.

There are few people with magical skills, so normal parties are unable to defeat it, and there is nothing else special about it, so there is no advantage to going so far into Gunma, making it a deserted dungeon.

Since I only have physical attacks (officially), there seems to be no point in me going in, so I'll just take it easy with my family.

Chapter 053

When I find a drop turtle, I immediately grill it and look for the next one. I did this throughout all the morning, but I only accumulated magic stones and no shells were dropped.

It was lunchtime, so I had lunch at the [Lost House]. The menu was rice balls that my mother had brought for me, fresh tomatoes, and salt-grilled rainbow trout caught in the clear stream next to the field.

As I was picking the tomatoes, I looked around and it looked like I could catch one, so I did. The salt I brought for the tomatoes came in handy in an unexpected place.

When I finished eating and was about to resume turtle hunting, I felt a strong thought coming from the shrine. So I made some salt-grilled fish and offered them to the shrine. It seems even the gods can't resist wanting to eat when they see others eating something delicious.

I hunted turtles for another hour, but still no shells. It was a low drop rate that I couldn't get one even with Tamamo, who could hunt them easily. I wonder how many days it would take for a normal party to get a shell.

I gave up on turtle hunting and moved to the fifth floor to hunt ambush snakes. This was to create an alibi that I was on the fifth floor all day. I sold the magic stone and then went home.

It would be unnatural for Yu, who can't use magic, to hunt so many turtles. So I decided to say that I hunted ambush snakes all day.

"You've hunted quite a lot. This will help us prevent flooding."

"I want to make money to buy weapons. I think I'll do this a few times."

I had a quick chat with the receptionist and left the guild. I saved the turtle's magic stone in the lost house because I can sell it later.

I hunted turtles like that three times on the weekend, and finally got a shell just before July. I want to tell greed sensor-san that he doesn't have to work so hard.

For now, I've achieved my goal, so I'll prepare for the final exams. My parents don't care about my grades, but it's not a reason for not doing my best.

"Yu, Mai, do you have any plans for summer vacation?"

One day, when the final exams were coming up, my dad asked me and Mai about our plans at dinner.

"I've made plans to hang out with Kikuko and Megumi."

"I'll probably just stay overnight and explore the dungeon."

Mai seems to have made plans to hang out with her friends who meet up with her on the way to school. I'm planning to go into a dungeon a little ways away, under the pretext of going to get a turtle shell.

"I see. Actually, I was asked to make a house call in a village that doesn't have any doctors. I thought that if we went together, we could do some sightseeing on the way back."

"Then I'll tell them that it's not possible that day!"

"I don't mind when I go to the dungeon, so I'll go."

And so, we decided to go on our first family trip. Dad seemed relieved that he wouldn't have to leave his children behind.

"Apparently the village's only doctor passed away and they can't find a replacement. So they've decided to send a doctor once a month."

In my previous life, there were problems with depopulation and villages without doctors, but it seems that this problem couldn't be avoided in this world either.

"I'll be there for a week from the beginning of August. I'll notify my patients with a notice or something."

Our destination is a village deep in the mountains, but it seems to be fairly developed. I'm looking forward to my first trip in this world.

It seems that the pros and cons of exposing bare skin during school medical examinations have become an issue.

It would be solved if I could diagnose it with a handshake like Yu-kun's father, but in reality, there is no such skill...

[author]

The midterm exams are over and it's now June. I'm relieved that I've been able to maintain my position at the top of my grade. Today I'm going to dive into the 2015 dungeon for the first time in a while.

It seems that their passion for me has faded over the past month, so today I've decided to dive in as a man. I'd be grateful if they could also bring the search for Tamamo to a close.

The guild was still deserted as usual. I passed by the reception desk and entered the dungeon. The guild members didn't say anything to me today.

I was observing my surroundings as I descended levels, but I couldn't find anyone who looked like a Tamamo searcher, like the last time. I guess they've given up too.

"Well, shall I go hunting and let off some steam?"

Arriving on the ninth floor, I step off the path to the tenth floor and activate my female and fox spirit transformation skills. It's been a while since I've been Tamamo, so I move my body to check if there's anything strange.

Confirming that there's no problem, I walk around looking for the turtle. The moment a hole appears, I activate [Sky Walk] to escape and use [fox fire] to roast the turtle.

The purpose of today's turtle hunting is to obtain the shell of a drop turtle, which drops very occasionally. I plan to have this shell processed into a drop turtle great shield.

This drop turtle great shield is what was called an unfortunate weapon (equipment) in my previous life. I doubt there are more than ten people in the country who use it.

It has good performance. It is stronger than a magic iron great shield, and is only slightly heavier. A great shield can also be used to hold down an opponent with its weight, so if it's too light it can be a problem.

So why is it unfortunate? First, let's look at how to obtain the materials. You have to go down to the ninth floor and defeat the damn tough drop turtles. Moreover, since the drop rate is low, you have to defeat quite a lot of them.

Then you have to bring back the shells that are produced. Since the shells are big, bulky, and quite heavy, one person can't join the battle.

Whether to buy the shells or the finished product, no explorer wants to hunt for shells, which are rare and can fetch a fairly high price, but take a lot of effort to produce and bring back.

Explorers who pass through the ninth floor will ignore the drop turtles they encounter and not kill them. Since they are inside a hole, they will not chase you and will not cause flooding.

As a result, they almost never happen to be defeated and their shells put on the market, and there are almost no explorers who want to use equipment called a great shield, so there is no demand.

Few explorers use large items such as great swords, great battle axes, and war hammers, not just great shields. This is because only people with specialized skills or physical strengthening skills, such as great sword users and great shield users, can use them.

There are few people with specialized skills, and even fewer with Arm strength reinforcement skills. There seem to be quite a few with regular physical strengthening skills, but they don't use large weapons.

If only the arm strength is enhanced, even if you can lift it, you won't be able to swing it. It is necessary to carry it around in dungeons, so even if arm strength is the only thing strengthened, you cannot use it.

In addition to that, people with physical strengthening skills prefer weapons that allow for flashy attacks, such as greatswords. This makes large shields even more unpopular.

However, I can use it with the power of Heracles Syndrome, and with the effects of the [Dress-up Doll] I can change to up to six different weapons. So I don't have a reason for not to use it.

Even if I wanted to buy a commercially available large shield, it would have to be made to order, as there is no demand, and it would be expensive. However, if I bring my own raw materials, I can buy it for the processing fee plus a little extra, so it is within my reach.

It might stand out a bit, but a little compromise is necessary to strengthen my fighting power.

Chapter 051

A week after that recruitment attempt, I was able to spend my days peacefully. Those guys don't know that my hometown is near the 2015 dungeon, so they're still staking out the area near the 2222 dungeon.

The 2015 dungeon is not popular and there are almost no explorers active there, so I only received recruitments from a few people who happened to live there. And they didn't leak my information to their rivals, so I succeeded in escaping the recruitment hell.

"Mom, I'm going to the dungeon."

"Have a nice trip. Oh, you're going as a girl today."

"I'm disguised like this to avoid recruitment. If a recruitment battle starts in my hometown, I'll be in big trouble."

Today, I'm going to dive into the 2015 dungeon for the first time in a while. Even though it's not popular, it's not deserted. I don't want to show up at the guild as a man, to prevent people from spreading the word that this is my hometown.

"Why don't you just be a girl all the time?"

"You have Mai, right?"

"The more cute daughters you have, the better. Oh, that doesn't mean I don't want a cute son."

She said that and hugged me. I felt the love I received all the time. I can say with certainty that I will never hate Mom, Dad, and Mai.

"Well, I'm off now. I'll bring some pork as a souvenir, okay?"

"The best souvenir is Yu being safe. Don't push yourself too hard."

I left the house with my mother's kind words. I want to thank the Goddess-sama for reincarnating me into this family.

I left the guild, which was as deserted as ever, and headed to the entrance of the dungeon. As I was about to enter, a guild member at the entrance called out to me.

"You're wearing very light clothing, but do you have any combat skills?"

"No, I don't have any combat skills, but I have a unique constitution. Would you like to check?"

I held out my hand, and he grabbed it, so I gradually applied more pressure. The guild member's face distorted in pain, so I relaxed my grip and let go.

"Ouch, ouch, with this much strength, you should be able to do it barehanded. But don't push yourself too hard. Apparently, someone almost caused a flood the other day. I'm calling out because I was ordered to take preventative measures."

"That must be tough, I'm glad there wasn't a flood. Good luck with your work."

"Ah, yeah, thank you. Be careful when exploring."

I smiled and congratulated the guild member, and his face went bright red. Though I say it myself, I have a beautiful face after transforming into a woman, so I can understand his feelings well.

I entered the dungeon and took the shortest route down. My goal was the Ambush Snake on the fifth floor. I collected magic stones to buy weapons. I actually wanted to overhunt the drop turtles, but I decided not to.

I saw glimpses of explorers moving unnaturally on the way to the 5th floor and on the 5th floor. They were probably searching for Tamamo.

If I was a member of the military, I'd give the same order. She's a free beastman, so she's worth a search, and she's the first fox beastman. There's no way I'd just leave her alone.

While still in my female form, I hunted Ambush Snakes, and finally got some pork as a souvenir on the first floor and exchanged my magic stones for cash. I made my way home without any trouble.

The military is searching for Tamamo, and talent agencies and clans are trying to recruit me. It would be best to stay quiet until the heat dies down. The midterm exams are coming up, so I'll focus on studying.

"There he is, over there!"

"He got over the wall, go around!"

I somehow make it through the encirclement that is getting tighter. Thanks to the Hercules Syndrome, my running speed has been improved, so I've been able to escape from my pursuers, but I'm being cornered by their human-wave tactics.

If I kick the wall and climb onto the roof of the building to escape, I'll be able to break the encirclement, but it would be trespassing and I'd be conspicuous, so I'd be exposing my location.

"Okay, now we can narrow the encirclement and catch him."

"I thought he'd look good if I put him on stream, but with such physical ability, he's a promising fighting force. I'll definitely get him!"

It seems that my escape motivated my pursuers. At this point, I have no choice but to use my last resort. I made up my mind and ran into a famous hamburger shop.

I didn't even look at the counter where you were supposed to order, I headed straight for the bathroom. After making sure there was no one inside, I activated my [female body] skill. Then, with a nonchalant look on my face, I washed my hands, left the restroom, and lined up at the counter.

"He must have come this way!"

"This NakuDonald's is the only place to escape, so let's secure the entrance and search inside."

The pursuers arrived just as I was about to order. People gathered in front of the store one after another. I looked at the menu displayed in large letters with a nonchalant look on my face.

"Next customer, please."

"A small serving of fries and orange juice, please. Ah, I'll eat it inside."

I ordered from the waiter and paid. As I received the order slip and waited for it to be delivered, several pursuers came in.

"Looking around, it seems she's not on the first floor."

"Ah, hey, look at that girl."

One of the pursuers pointed at me, standing in front of the delivery counter. Maybe he knew my skills and realized that I was in a woman form.

"Hey, hey, I'm a pretty good explorer, do you want to talk to me for a bit? You want to hear about how things are in the dungeon, right?"

"What an idiot! I know you want to hit on her because she's cute, but right now we have other priorities! So, what's your name, young lady? Let's exchange numbers."

It seems I wasn't found out, and he was just hitting on me. And the guy who warned him is also casually hitting on me too...

"You guys, get over it! Sorry, young lady. We'll take these guys away right away."

I was stunned and didn't know what to do, and another guy dragged the two of them out of the store. It seemed like they were being removed from the members searching the store.

"Thank you for waiting, customer at number 211."

"Ah, yes."

The fries looked to be ready, so I showed my order slip and received them along with a juice. I found an empty seat by the window, sat down, and leisurely picked up the fries.

"He wasn't on the second floor."

"He wasn't on the third floor either. He wasn't in the bathroom either, so I can only assume he's gone outside."

The pursuers were searching the store and panicked when they couldn't find me. The staff looked at the pursuers who hadn't even ordered anything, with annoyed looks on their faces, and they left.

"He wasn't inside the store."

"He hasn't even come out. Maybe he's hiding inside?"

"We searched the bathrooms too. We couldn't search the ladies' bathroom, but there's no way he would be there."

It seems that the panicked pursuers still had the sense to not step into the ladies' room. After a short discussion, they dispersed to search for me.

After enjoying some fries and orange juice, I went home. Just to be sure, I didn't undo my female transformation until I got home, so Mai and my mother caught me, and I was exhausted after they dressed me and changed my hairstyle like a doll.

"I'm Tanaka, the guild leader here."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ozora from the THK programming department."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Takimoto Yu."

After introducing myself, I take the business card he hands me. I didn't make any business cards, so I don't even have a business card holder. I decide to talk while holding it in my hand.

"I heard that you've been getting a lot of inquiries about me..."

"Yes, quite a few. From talent agencies, streaming agencies, and explorer clans."

A clan is like a large party. Some of them have offices and are like a company.

"I'm not interested in the entertainment industry, and I don't intend to do dungeon streaming. Also, I'm planning on working solo at the moment, so I won't join a clan."

Joining the entertainment industry is out of the question, and I won't be streaming because I'll be transformed into a spirit fox. For the same reason, I don't intend to join a clan or party. I'll probably join a party in the future, but I'll probably end up teaming with the army.

I have a broken skill that allows me to sleep safely in the dungeon, and there are no restrictions on bringing in supplies or taking home loot. I can't feel safe without the protection of the country.

"As a guild, we're happy that he's devoted to his work as an explorer. However, skill-wise, I think he's the perfect candidate for the entertainment industry."

"I thought he'd look good on TV, but are his skills suitable for the entertainment industry?"

The guild leader seems to know my skills. Since the military is checking everyone's status, it must be digitized. Since the guild is a military organization, it's not surprising that they can view it.

"Indeed, now that you mention it, it's a useful skill for entering the entertainment industry..."

In addition to being able to act as both a man and a woman with [female body], I can change costumes in an instant. It would make for an interesting performance if used on stage or in a concert.

"I'd like to hear about it, if you don't mind."

Ozora looks at Tanaka with expectant eyes, but Tanaka looks at me in silence. I guess it's up to me to decide whether to say it or not.

"Well, that's a secret. I know it's a bother for THK, but I'd like to ask that you not answer any inquiries about me because it's personal information."

"It's a bit disappointing, but let's go with that. If you entered the entertainment industry, I would have liked to ask you to appear. It's not often that you get such a big response."

I said goodbye to the two of them and left the room. I walked back the way I was guided and returned to the guild reception desk.

"Ah, here he is!"

"I'd like to talk for a bit, is that okay?"

As soon as I appeared, the people near the reception desk came over to me. I reflexively turned around and tried to leave.

"Wait! Please join our clan!"

"No, no, you should be a model!"

"You're interested in being an idol, aren't you? Let's debut with us!"

The people who kept following me even after I left the guild were apparently doing so to scout me. I found out later that they had secretly taken a picture of me when I came to the guild and spread it around.

The guys saw this and lay in wait to scout me, then rushed towards me after the discussion was over, and that's how this chase began.

I couldn't just go home like this with these people behind me. Now, how was I going to get rid of them?

"Yu, why do you look so gloomy?"

"It's because something depressing happened..."

Dad was worried about me at the dinner table. I was careful not to show it on my face, but it seems I couldn't hide it from my family. Mom and Mai were both looking at me worriedly.

"If you have any worries, come talk to me. We're family."

"No, it's nothing serious. I just have to go to the guild in the 2222 dungeon again tomorrow."

Going to the guild itself isn't depressing, but the nature of the errand is just bothersome.

"Did those guys who started accusing you say something?"

"No, Mai's prophecy came true, so I'm just going to turn them down. It's not like I'm in trouble, so don't worry."

The three of them were confused for a while, not understanding what I said to reassure the worried people. Mai was the first to notice.

"Prophecy ... Onii-chan, were you scouted by an entertainment agency? From where, where did it came from?"

Sister, Onii-chan is not a golden skull that laughs maniacly. That's a joke that won't work on young people, huh. And there's no golden bat* in this world anyway.

"It seems like several came, but I'm not interested, so I didn't ask where they came from. There's no point in asking because I'll turn them down anyway."

"What? That's such a waste! Onii-chan could be successful in the entertainment industry!"

Mai has a very high opinion of me, but I don't think I can make it in the entertainment industry, and I don't even want to. No matter how much you're pampered, it's a world where you can be turned down and cut off at any moment.

Besides, I have a promise with the goddess-sama. As long as I have a mission to advance the dungeon, I have no intention of getting into the entertainment industry. I wouldn't do it even if I didn't have a mission.

"So, I'm leaving tomorrow morning. If I have time, I might go into the dungeon."

"That's fine, but be careful. Don't get kidnapped by a stalker who saw Yu-chan on TV."

"Surely there won't be any stalkers like that. Even if there were, they wouldn't be able to do anything to me by force."

You'd need to be at least as strong as a blue-haired bear to be able to kidnap me by force. I guess you need physical strengthening skills to even try. Well, even if the skill is the same, the effectiveness varies from person to person, though.

The next day, after going through my daily routine, I headed to the 2222 Dungeon Guild. Someone on the train looked at me and whispered in a low voice, but I wonder if they saw the broadcast.

I arrived at the guild and lined up at the reception. I felt uncomfortable being the center of attention in the guild. It was my turn, so I'd make it quick.

"Excuse me, my name is Takimoto..."

"Takimoto-sama, right? Let me show you here, so please come in."

Before I could explain my business, I was guided by a receptionist who had a sign at the counter saying that they were open. I was led through a hallway that was normally off-limits to non-staff and into a room that seemed to be a reception room.

"Excuse me, I have brought Takimoto-sama."

"Oh, thank you for your trouble. You should go back now. Sorry for the trouble, Takimoto-kun. Please sit there."

Two men were sitting in the reception set. The one who was talking to the receptionist was probably a high-ranking guild boss. The other was probably a THK employee. I followed his advice and sat down on an expensive-looking sofa.

Chapter 047

The next day, I went to school with Mai and noticed that many students were whispering to each other. I'm aware that I always attract attention, but today it feels like there's more than usual.

"It must be because of the news that Onii-chan has reached the ninth floor and last night's broadcast. It's only natural, since there aren't many people who are good-looking, skilled, and have a good personality!"

Mai hugged my arm as if to show off to everyone around her. At that moment, I felt the envious and jealous looks from the women and jealous and hateful looks from the men grow stronger.

Mai is not only cute, but she is also growing more feminine, and when she hugs me, her soft touch eats away at my reason. I don't think I'll give in to desire, but the mental strength needed to maintain my reason is increasing day by day.

"Good morning, Onii-san. I watched last night's broadcast."

"Good morning. Dungeon exploration is tough, isn't it?"

While we were talking, Mai's two friends joined in. I walked while telling the three of them what happened after that.

"You're beautiful, and you might get into trouble again, so do you want to film?"

"Mai, aren't you mistaken in calling your big brother beautiful? Now, be careful of cars today too."

I left Mai and the others and headed to middle school. I can't leave a record because I can turn into a spirit fox. If I stop filming at that point, it will make me suspicious, so I can't use it.

If filming becomes a condition for dungeon exploration, it could be troublesome. There was a story with a similar setting in a novel I read in my previous life. It's not impossible that it could happen in this world.

"Well, there's nothing I can do even if I worry about it, so I'll think about it when it happens."

I changed my mindset. The midterm exams are coming up soon, so I have to concentrate on studying. If I let my guard down and end up failing, I'll be in big trouble.

"... Yes, that's all for today's lesson. I wonder if you'll go into the dungeon tomorrow?"

"Yes, I need to earn money because I want weapons."

Today is Saturday, so the class ended early. I chatted with the teacher while getting ready to go home. It seems she hadn't watched last night's broadcast, so I was relieved that the topic didn't come up.

Just as I was about to leave, my smartphone vibrated. When I checked after informing the teacher, it was from the 2222 Dungeon guild.

"Yes, this is Takimoto... Oh, well, please tell THK that I'm declining all offers."

I hung up the phone and put my smartphone away. I sighed, getting a headache as Mai's words became reality.

"You seem serious, but what's wrong? I heard something about THK."

"I got into trouble while exploring a dungeon, and THK picked up on it. It was related to that. Well then, excuse me."

I don't want to tell the teacher, who showed a hint to be a fangirl, that I've been contacted by many talent agencies. As a teacher, I'm sure she would protect her students' personal information, but I'd be devastated if she spread the word.

I abruptly cut the conversation off and left the classroom. However, the conversation didn't end there. Just as I got home, my phone rang again, and the call showed that it was from the 2222 Dungeon Guild.

"I'm sorry for bothering you so much. Apparently, THK has been getting a lot of inquiries from not only talent agencies but also viewers asking, 'Who is that girl?' Someone from THK would like to meet you tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand. Where should we go?"

We then decided on a time and place to meet and hung up. I regretted not refusing to allow the use of my video if it would end up like this, but it was too late now.

Chapter 046

"Dungeon, that's a frontier that creates wealth. And a lawless land where legal regulations do not reach"

The four of us are watching TV in the living room. On the screen, an explanation of dungeons is being given. Monsters appear on various terrains, and the narrator explains.

"Magic stones are the energy that supports our society today. Dungeons are the only way to obtain them, and they are indispensable. However, dungeons do not only bring benefits."

"Wow, what an incredible number of monsters!"

"It's a vast wilderness, but where is this? It must be a foreign country?"

Mai screams at the image that is being projected, and I mutter involuntarily. Monsters in numbers large enough to fill the wilderness are moving. Is it a flood in America or Russia?

"Flooding is not uncommon in foreign countries."

"It almost never happens in the Empire. I'm really glad I was born in the Empire."

Russia and America had vast lands, and many dungeons have appeared, but they have not yet completed the conquest of all of them. The Japanese Empire was able to suppress quickly and completely because its land area was small and its military carried swords.

"The explorers risk their lives to bring back magic stones and rare materials. They are experts at exterminating monsters. But monsters aren't their only enemies."

Then, problems currently occurring in the dungeon are introduced. Numerous atrocities have been committed in dungeons where legal supervision is difficult to reach.

"The resolution of conflicts is based on the testimony of the parties involved. However, without evidence to back it up, it is difficult to make a judgment. This time, we have succeeded in obtaining documents that record the details of troubles that occurred in the dungeon."

"Oh, it's onii-chan!"

"Yu, you look cool."

An old man appears on the screen yelling at a slender explorer wearing gauntlets. Needless to say, it is me who is being yelled at.

"The explorer 'boy', the person yelling at the 'boy' is the cameraman's friend, a streamer who is filming a project to get rare drops from rare monsters."

"Why did he repeat that twice?"

"It was probably a necessary measure to avoid misunderstandings."

Mai immediately answers my question. My parents nod in agreement. It seems there are no allies here. Can I cry?

"The two chased after the rare monster they found, but they encountered him and claimed that he had attacked and stole their prey, and demanded cash as compensation."

"Yu, is the thing being shown below the rare monster?"

"Yes. I just brushed off the flying gold bug, I didn't kill it."

While answering my father's question, the program continues. A guild guard arrives after hearing the commotion and asks to accompany him, and the recording ends.

"After this, the three were questioned at the guild, and this recording was the deciding factor in proving the boy's innocence. In this case, the footage was recorded, but this is a rare occurrence."

The program concluded that it would be necessary to establish a means of recording criminal acts in the dungeon, and then ended.

"Yu-chan, you looked cute on camera."

"Yeah, THK did a good job."

It was a strange approach, but both parents seemed satisfied with the program.

"I can't wait to see how many scouts we get for Onii-chan!"

I hadn't thought Mai's comment was likely to be true, but the next day it caused me headaches.
