Earth-san Level Up Volume 2 Chapter 20 Part 1 (Patreon)

Sakura-san's Gift and Achievements on the 4th Day

"Meeko, Meeko...it's morning," Ruru said.

In the morning, Meiko was woken up by Ruru.

It was Kismia's way of waking her up.

She would wake the sleeping Meiko's upper body and put her own body behind it.

Then she would put her hands on her stomach and rock her. Mostly moms do this to their little ones.

"Funya? Nyah, nyah, nyah!"

The effect was so great that Meiko awoke confused.

The way her eyes twitched was like a child waking up with her big sister holding her.

When she awoke and looked around, she saw that not only Ruru but Sasara was already awake, and dinner was almost ready.

"Oh, sorry. I overslept."

"I heard from Shaara that Meeko was compositing at night. That's why it's okay."

"That's right. I wanted him to at least take his time in the morning, and I did that on my own. Anyway, good morning, Meiko-san.

"Yes, good morning, Sasara and Ruru.

"Good morning, Sasara, Ruru."

Thanks to their concern, the fourth day started.

"For now, Ruru, let go of me. I'm starting to feel like I'm going to throw up."

It was tough for Meiko to be yipped in her sleep.

Four enemies now appeared at the same time, making it tougher than ever.

After getting ready in the morning, the three of us did our preparatory exercises in the safety zone garden and got into the swing of things with a huff.

"Ruru, water 1, slash 2, destroy 4!"

"Nyau!"

"Sasara 1, destroy 2!"

"I understand!"

Simplified instructions fly.

Until now, it had been possible to manage by coordination in a game of "just in time", but now that the number of enemies has increased, and each player has more to do, the instructions have become more important.

It took only about five seconds to finish the instructions while the grimoire was preparing the magic.

In this dungeon, where the Torii Gate is in the shape of a tunnel, enemies come only from the front or the back.

Therefore, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on are assigned to each of them, starting from the front.

Although there were times when we were pinched in between, it was rather easy to dash to one side and destroy them and only the other side remained, so we did not need to give instructions.

In this case.

Ruru surprised the first Japanese Doll with a water trick, and then slashed at the second Pestle Rabbit, meaning that he would deal with the fourth Tanuki even if he had not defeated it.

Sasara, after defeating the first Japanese Doll surprised by Ruru, goes to the second Pestle Rabbit.

Meiko pestles the second Pestle Rabbit while Ruru performs a water trick, and then goes to face the third Pestle Rabbit. At this time, Ruru is slashing away at the second Pestle Rabbit, so she takes advantage of the opportunity to take it on as well. The main focus is on the third Pestle Rabbit.

"That's the coup de grâce!"

Sasara defeats Pestle Rabbit and the battle is over.

"Did you take any damage?"

Meiko asks, and the two tell her they did not.

"You did a good job this time, didn't you?"

"If we can get Ruru through Tanuki, we can stabilize."

"Tanuki is weak in close combat, so we can take him down at once, and with the two of you taking care of the others, we can take him down without worry."

We exchanged opinions like that.

The battle went very well this time, but since Meiko, an amateur, improvised these instructions, it was difficult to say that she was in charge. She was often hit by bullets.

However, it was certainly effective, and we spent less time in battle than the day before.

The main reason for this, however, was probably the improvement in each of the participants' fighting skills.

It was not so much that their swordsmanship had improved, but rather that they had become accustomed to battles in which there were more enemies than themselves.

All of them were now able to grasp the battle situation from the corner of their eye, staring at the enemy.

Meiko was the one who was best able to grasp the situation.

Meiko, fighting with two books of grimoire, had a better foundation than the other two. Through repeated battles, her three-dimensional view of the battlefield was beginning to blossom.

Another factor was the strengthening of their weapons and armor.

Sasara was able to promptly take down the lead enemy with a dual attack of Saber and Dagger.

Ruru's slashing attacks in passing also did a considerable amount of damage, and this second Pestle Rabbit was also taken down by Meiko in a single hand without waiting for Sasara.

The increased power of Meiko's Water Bullet and Fire Bullet also contributed greatly to the battle.

Even if she was hit by a bullet, it was no longer a big deal.

It was hard to tell if a Doll or Pestle Rabbit attacked them in the face, but at least if they hit a place where there was armor, two or three times was no longer enough to interfere with the battle.

Overall, the three of us were much stronger.

As a result, the time per battle was shortened and fatigue was reduced.

Meiko and her team climbed the mountain steadily.

Sometimes they entered caves, sometimes they crossed small bridges over creeks.

The scenery was beautiful, and we were able to enjoy the Winsta reflection.

Incidentally, Meiko had purchased a mobile battery based on her experience in her last dungeon trip.

Ruru seems to have a long history with smartphones and has been carrying one since the beginning.

Sasara did not have one, but all three of them had the same smartphone, so they use mobile batteries in rotation.

[I'll buy a mobile battery too] said Sasara.

Apparently, they were looking to enter the dungeon again.

The three of us finally reached the summit.

At the top of the mountain, there was a huge Sakura tree, which Meiko and the others photographed.

Then, like the day before yesterday, they put their hands together and began to pray.

"Meeko and Shaara, may we always be friends!"

Ruru innocently uttered her wish as she clasped her hands to the Sakura tree.

"Whoa! Then, I wish to be friends with Ruru and Sasara forever!"

"Hmmm. Then I wish to be friends with Meiko-san and Ruru-san forever.

The two of us agreed and asked for the same thing.

Then, a treasure chest appeared.

It was a kitakore.

One of the three had been expecting this.

He quickly opened the lid and found a piece of parchment inside.

He looked at the writing on the surface, but could not read it at all.

Since we had obtained a new item, we decided to hold an appraisal contest here.

This would probably be the last appraisal in this dungeon.

This would probably be my last appraisal in this dungeon, because it was clearly the end of the story.

From the top of the second mountain, there was a staircase leading straight down to the base of the mountain. It was located exactly on the opposite side of the dungeon from the starting point of the dungeon.

The stairway descended to just above the sea of clouds, where it turned into a flat path that led to a large area the size of a school playground at the end of the path.

The shrine was surrounded by a fence like a ball fence, and eight huge rocks were meaningfully placed on the site. All eight were wrapped with Sacred Ropes.

Normally, something would happen there.

Therefore, Meiko expected that this would be the last equipment check.

Meiko used the appraisal ball "50/50" and started the appraisal from the parchment.
