Lonely Attack on the Different World (WN)

Day 81 – Daytime, Dungeon, 91F

SpE is already over 900. Yeah, pretty much double of mine.

Of course, PoW is over 900 as well. Almost three times?

Force, in other words kinetic energy, is velocity × velocity × mass/2. Mass comes from weight and size, and velocity is SpE. The ability to sustain it until it turns into destructive power is PoW.

And since kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity, getting hit by something at twice the speed might be quite lethal.

This gap dictated by pure physics is the stats. And the skill to subtly cheat that system, nudging the vector just a bit, discreetly dispersing the point of force, and smoothly shifting the pivot to nullify the impact, that’s technique.

Yeah, since getting hit means death, I stick to evading, deflecting, and avoiding. I keep dispersing the force, changing its vector, killing the velocity, thus neutralizing incoming attacks.

That’s what it means dealing with opponents over level 90, that’s just how dangerous level 91 monsters are! Yeah, were they tasty?

The physical threat was deliciously and nutritiously resolved. Over there, physics are bound in chains and redirected into self-destruction through centrifugal force. And on the other side, the physics are being cut to pieces. Uh, could you please not slice physics itself? Like, if you don’t mind, could you at least try to fight within the bounds of physical phenomena? …Well, from a purely natural science perspective, as long as you kill the problem, it’s technically solved, so whatever, I guess?

Using『Teleportation』to slip through the iron fist thrown at me by the last one, I sweep away the incoming kick, and strike down the follow up backhand chop. Linear motion doesn’t pair well with circular motion, but with its stubborn, solid lead head, and an equally dense brain, it keeps rampaging mindlessly. Being stupid means low aptitude for learning, and being unable to understand the concept of learning, would make you an idiot.

For what it’s worth, these 『Metal Dolls Lv 91』 at least show a hint of intelligence, they may have an abysmally low learning capacity, but they do try changing up their attacks or chaining them together when their strikes don’t land. The Idiots simply hit harder and faster. And because that ends up resolving things, they remain idiots. Finished thinking. Yeah, it seems 『Metal Doll』-san had no sense for this at all. I don’t need the iron anyway, so I let its fists veer off with the momentum of my spin, swing my sword along the spiral, and accelerate further with each turn. Dancing, slashing, spinning—never getting hit, twirling endlessly. Even the world itself must be spinning along with me. Saying the world is spinning might make the church throw a fit, but if that happens, I can just burn the whole church down – problem solved. If they don’t like the spinning, they can just burn to death instead, right?

Well, anyway, I spun a lot? Like, so much that I kind of expect RpM to show up in my stats.

「From here on, things can get very sour very quickly, so let’s fight properly, alright? Well, I’m surely none of you has such intentions, but be very careful not to let your guard slip, no matter how oily or slippery it gets, and it’s not like I’m against getting all slippery, like, if it’s an oil play, I’m actually very up for it, pretty much ready to go at the moments notice… Yeeah, I’m pretty sure your morning stars are in a perfect condition and don’t need any oil? No-no, you don’t have to get so close, I can perfectly see that there is not a single speck of rust anywheeee— So close?! (*ThUD*)」

Yes, from here on, a single scratch could mean trouble. A single mistake could lead to death. That’s just how tremendously large is the gap in stats. And that’s why oil play will have to wait. They are still glaring at me? Jiiii?

However, considering the danger, I almost want to strip Armored Pres-san and mithrilify her armor right here. Strip, smear oil all over her, getting all wet, slimy, slippery, hot, and… He-Hey, what are you doin— (Currently Getting Beaten Up)

I got scolded. I wish they would stick to either scolding or beating me, instead of mixing the two in a perfect synergy!

When I speak of lewd stuff, they get super embarrassed and attack me, but they also keep going for lewd stuff, even if they have to use force? Well, their way of hiding embarrassment also involves iron balls, so it’s just violence all around.

While laughing, blushing, getting angry, snacking on sweets, we keep advancing through the dungeon. If possible, I don’t want them to fight out of anger, sorrow, or frustration. I want them to fight so that, in the end, they can smile.Although I’d wish they stop with iron ball attacks too?

Dancing Girl-san seems to have been staying at the depths of a dungeon, where she was discovered and restrained by the Church. No one here has any particularly good memories of dungeons. Losing humanity at the dungeons’ depths, left with nothing but sorrow, loneliness, and pain. But if they’re willing to follow me, then we should go forward with smiles, eating sweets along the way.

Also, I’m still a human, okay? I didn’t give up on that? Well, I kind of feel that Slime-san also was always a slime, but I’m also still human! I had it written on my status window? Honestly, I’m not lying?

Armored Pres-san is the vanguard. Behind, on her left flank is Dancing Girl-san, the right is Slime-san. And behind that triangle, is me, striking a cool pose! A perfect formation. I’ve been left behind by that perfect formation, but I’m doing my best to chase after that while still maintaining a cool pose. Or rather, please don’t leave me behind?

And just like that we dive into a melee against numerous『Dissolution Worms Lv92』jumping out from countless holes, scattered like some sort of a maze. The Armored Pres-san at the front cuts them down, while the ones to the left and right are swept away by Dancing Girl-san and Slime-san. And then, striking a perfect finishing pose—me! …Wait, could you leave a few for the ones in the back? The vanguard of our triangle formation leaps forward, slicing through the swarm, then divided『Dissolution Worms』are mowed down and torn to shreds. In other words, none of them are making it to the rear.

Since they have 『Dissolution』in the name, that slimy and slippery stuff has to be a dissolving liquid. That’s a talent I’d very much like to scout to the New Fake Dungeon, but they are getting chopped to pieces. And Slime-san, who is suspected of disliking bugs, seems to be fine with eating worm eyes. And finally, Slime-san learned even『Dissolve』! Able to use tentacles,『Vibration Magic』,『Adhesive』, and even『Weapons and Equipment Destruction』it now obtained『Dissolve』on top of that……If I remember correctly, it also had『Corrosion』so it actually has a pretty sinister set of skills, but it’s cutely jumping around.

Lately, this handy and lovely monster started hopping on my shoulders during side job, offering Slime-Body Massage with『Vibration Magic』. And yet its lethality rivals even two Dungeon Emperors. Sure, Armored Pres-san and Dancing Girl-san give massages too, but their massages make me unable to continue working, leading to other side activities. Their hands wander, giving very special attention to very special places that leave a highschool boy very tense and flustered, until they massage it enough to make him happy and relaxed, but it’s kind of a different type of massage?

And so『Dissolution Worms』were obliterated by the super cute massagist duo and super cute massagist monsters-san. Naturally, no one got hit with melting attacks, so no wardrobe malfunctions. None at all.

I was able to participate in the second half of the battle by incinerating 『Dissolution Worms』that were circling underground, trying to attack from a hole behind us, but I didn’t get to fight. Since 『Future Sight』 shows where they’ll appear, I lob a Fire spell into the spot and seal the hole with 『Holding』. Inside, the slick, slimy things catch fire and go up in flames. I, too, would’ve liked to blaze with fire of passion in the way of a high school boy, but alas, no accidental wardrobe malfunctions occurred, and the battle came to an end. Looks like the flag for the Melting event didn’t trigger.

For a late lunch, I served up some yakisoba with chicken, cabbage, and mushrooms on a hot iron griddle. The smell of the sauce burning spread throughout the dungeon, but no monsters were lured by it. Well, they are completely annihilated.

By now, everyone is pretty used to it, Armored Pres-san and the Dancing Girl-san are slurping up the noodles, while Slime-san is in a wanko soba situation, digesting each piece as soon as I throw it in. I handed the noodle-loving girls rice balls, so if they get found out, they’ll complain a whole lot. What should I make for dinner? With limited ingredients, the menu practically decides itself. But abundance creates options, which makes choice a lot harder. If I were cooking by myself, I’d just look at what’s left, what might spoil soon, and what’s cheap at the supermarket. That would automatically decide the menu. But apparently, things in『Item Bag』 don’t spoil, so now I have a very luxurious worry of actually having to think about the menu.

If I ask orphans we’d end up with hamburgers again, and the girls will just ask for pasta. The Geeks and Idiots are always asking for nothing but yakiniku. So the entire repertoire would consist of three dishes.

Armored Pres-san, Dancing Girl-san, and Slime-san are eager to eat stuff they have never tried before. I wish I can eventually let them try every dish that I’m aware of. Those three have the right to that in excess.

We were stuffed, took a little break, and cuddled for a bit, so we head to the 93th floor. I sort of lost motivation for going, but if we can finish it today, then it’s better to do so.

『Flare Creature Lv 93』a grotesque monster that looked like a clay doll made out of lava. The appearance would’ve been enough to give some girls a scare, but they are getting slashes and devoured without much care. Wouldn’t eating them cause a burn?

Because Slime-san unexpectedly went for『Ice Bound』, freezing the floor and weakening『Flare Creatures』the fight ended in seconds. As I thought, Slime-san ate『Jotun』after all.
