Residence.
Several days later.
The fools who challenged the Ogre have recovered.
Those who lost an arm are being helped by their girlfriends or companions.
Daily life resumed.
And several days passed.
They decided to challenge the Ogre again.
They decided to delve into the Labyrinth/Dungeon.
I tried to persuade them, but failed.
The remaining women blamed me.
I wished they would have blamed me on my bed, or on my stomach.
Since they were going into the Labyrinth/Dungeon.
They started arguing at the Dungeon’s entrance.
The women tried to dissuade them.
The Shadow Otaku, thinking “whatever,” returned to their work.
As for me…
“It’s okay! ♪”
“For this day! ♪”
“I’ve devised a sure-kill formation! ♪”
Could it be that when they recovered from their severe injuries.
Something… an “Otherworlder” common occurrence.
Was it the blossoming of a hidden talent?
That thought piqued my interest.
I watched the pointless-seeming decision of who would go first.
“Alright! ♪”
“We did it! ♪”
“Damn it—!! Lose! Go back home miserably—!!”
I hid myself.
And followed them with my Astral Body.
☆→→2nd Floor→3rd Floor
“It’s finally time…”
“We can win…”
“Wooooooooh”
They headed straight for the Ogre on the 3rd floor.
They weren’t just lying in bed.
They are thinking of the fastest route.
If the others are this fast,
I’ll get to see everyone’s sure-kill formation. ♪
“Guga! !”
“It went that way!”
“Yeah!”
“Me too!”
“This way, slowpoke!”
They are making good progress.
But their firepower is insufficient.
The Ogre, on the other hand, can incapacitate with a single blow.
“Guaaa! !”
“U-woah—”
“Damn it”
“How dare you”
“Urya urya urya!!”
Is this their sure-kill formation?
Ah, one of them is crushed.
“Y-you bastard!!”
“Damn it…”
“Gugaaaaa!!”
The remaining ones ran for the stairs. They moved their aching bodies, forcing themselves to run.
They managed to escape, but the slow one was grazed by the Ogre’s iron club on the back, sustaining a severe injury.
Though the two with light injuries are supporting him,
He’s bleeding heavily and will likely die.
They even forgot that the stairs were a safe zone.
They ran down to the 2nd floor, then the 1st floor.
“Almost… huh? Hey? We’re almost at the ground! Don’t die!? Hey!?”
Their life and soul have completely left their bodies.
How foolish.
At the Dungeon entrance.
The group that not only lost but also had deaths faced accusations.
Furthermore, my name, who gave permission, was brought up.
Well, hiding was the right choice.
The next group, fleeing the voices of accusation, entered.
The remaining groups, starting from the third, became the target of accusations.
I followed the second group.
I traced the bloodstains of the first group that had fled.
☆→→2nd Floor→3rd Floor
I know the shortest path.
There are also landmarks, so it’s fast.
“Guga! !”
They challenged the Ogre with their sure-kill formation.
Full power from the start. They could do this due to their physical strength.
However, even with this speed using one hand, it didn’t penetrate the Ogre’s tough hide.
It didn’t cause bleeding.
“Damn it—”
“Gaahhh!!”
They only managed to inflict wounds on the Ogre’s lower body.
Their stamina was insufficient to continue the battle.
“Guh, we’re withdrawing— damn it!”
“…Kuuu”
“Gaah! ?”
Perhaps it was because the first group suffered deaths?
They followed the leader’s instruction to retreat, knowing when to cut their losses.
They safely returned as well.
Even when attacked by three Goblins, they proceeded without any problem.
On the ground, they were met with more accusations.
The waiting group, having entered in turn, avoided the verbal attacks.
I attached myself to that group. ♪
…
All the groups have finished their challenges against the Ogre.
Deaths occurred in the first and the last groups.
The last group…
“We will be heroes…”
“Gaah! !”
They rushed forward, trying to become the last hope.
This was the cause of their deaths.
One of them died foolishly, and the rest fled en masse towards the stairs.
Did the Ogre learn? Even though it could have just let them escape.
It threw its iron club, as if to cut off their escape route to the stairs.
It crushed the last person in its path, and then kicked the next person in a U-shape on the back.
Only one person managed to reach the stairs, avoiding the club.
“Hiiyaaaah”
“Gah! !”
On the ground, the defeated men were forced to sit in seiza.
The sight of women whose boyfriends were killed confronting the survivors met my eyes.
“Haaaaa, ah? Hahue?”
The man who barely survived, the only one alive,
Stared blankly at the scene, like a pigeon hit by a shotgun.
From among the women who forced the men into seiza,
They noticed the absence of the boyfriend who had challenged the Ogre with him.
They slowly approached the stunned man.
Wow. I want to go back to my body and have some fun with Rody (Rosalind) until dinner! ♪ Uhuhu ♪ ♪
They didn’t return to the residence by noon.
Finally, in the evening, they were thoroughly grilled by the hungry women.
I’ve aged. My youth is gone.
With the sacrifice of the Otherworlders,
I wondered if the Ogre or the treasure chest contents would change.
The next day.
I quietly went in.
And with my own sure-win method, I cut the Ogre’s throat.
“Ga, Gaahhh!! Gagya?!”
“Mission accomplished! ♪”
Treasure, treasure ♪ What will it be ♪? What will it be ♪?
Opening the wooden door, I found a treasure chest even grander than before.
Beside it, a pile of gold and silver treasures (coins, ingots).
“Ooooh! ♪”
The treasure chest too was made of silver and gleamed! ♪
I have to open this slowly, carefully ♪
*Creeeak* *Click*
“Huh? Gwah.”
When I opened the lid, a poisoned arrow shot out.
It lodged in my throat, and my voice…
*Thud*
“Possession of a corpse.”
My heart started beating again.
I gathered the poison in my body into my stomach and expelled it.
“Ugh, ughh…”
At the bottom of the treasure chest, which was rigged with a trap,
There was a golden gummy,
A silver short spear,
And four longswords.
I wonder how much they’ll fetch for when sold ♪?
This golden gummy, like the purple gummy,
I wonder what effects they have when eaten.
It’s gold, so it’s a common Otherworlder thing.
Could it be that eating it will allow me to learn a Skill? ♪
I collected the rewards.
And promptly returned to the ground.
“I want Rody to praise me! ♪”
