Chapter 019
When the outcome is the same, most people will opt for the easier method. Explorers who target charging pigs tend to avoid dungeons with a first floor that's is a field like grasslands or wilderness.
For that reason, almost no one comes to the first floor of this dungeon. Occasionally, explorers pass by on their way to or from the next floor, but as long as I I stay off from the shortest route to the next floor, I don't need to worry about anyone.
I move away from the shortest route while fending off the charging pigs that occasionally attack me. I activate my [female body] skill at a considerable distance.
I've fought the charging pigs a few times, and I feel that my stamina and strength are the same as when I was a man. The way to handle the bodies is a little different, but once I get used to it, it shouldn't be a problem.
I then activated my main skill for today, [fox spirit transformation]. As a result, my five senses seem to be strengthened, and I can see farther and hear more sounds.
First, I activate [fox fire], my main means of attack. It seems I can only produce two at a time, so I can’t create more. I can move the floating fireballs at will, and if one hits a charging pig, it can defeat it in a single blow
Next, I tried [air walk]. It felt like an invisible platform was created beneath me, and I was walking on it. It took some courage to step into the air, but once I got used to it, I found it fun to run freely through the sky.
I had spent a lot of time testing it by that point. If I got home late, my family would be worried, so I decided to test the last skill, the [lost house] tomorrow.
"Oh, you're back safely... What's that?"
"Haha, I ended up being a bit of a fool."
The security guard was speechless when he saw me return. I returned with a rolled up jersey in one hand, which I had used as an improvised wrapping cloth.
I hadn't intended to go into the dungeon in the first place, so I didn't have a bag to put my loot in. But I got carried away and killed a bunch of charging pigs, and got not only magic stones, but also a kilo of pork, a rare drop.
It's my first loot, and the pork would make a good souvenir, so I want to take it home. After thinking about it, I came up with the answer: use the [dress-up doll] to take out a tracksuit jacket and wrap it up.
"Is that a tracksuit? Did you have something like that when you entered?"
"Well, that's a trade secret. Excuse me."
I said goodbye to the security guard and headed to the reception desk. I sold 25 magic stones, each worth 100 yen, and got 2,500 yen put into my card. The receptionist at the nearby counter was also suspicious of me having a tracksuit, so I offered her a deal.
"Receptionist-san, can I have a plastic bag to take the meat home? If you give it to me, I'll tell you why I have a tracksuit."
I felt embarrassed to wrap the pork in a tracksuit and take it home, and it's not a skill I'd mind sharing. The receptionist was happy to give me a bag like the ones used in supermarkets.
"I was given the skill called dress-up doll..." After explaining, I summoned the dress-up doll stripped off its tracksuit, and put it back on.
I ended up doing something that made me stand out, but I wonder if this will turn out to be a blessing or a curse. Well, if it becomes a problem I can just go to a different dungeon.
