I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~

Chapter 31

Chapter 31. A 3 VS 3 Battle

The enemies are one hobgoblin and two goblin archers.

While the hobgoblins attacked with swords raised in the air, the two goblin archers took up their bows and fired arrows at us as soon as we were in the line of fire.

Those monsters aren’t the only ones with long-range attacks. We have it too.

The two girls, clad in green and red shine, launched their respective magic attacks slightly faster than the goblin archers’ shooting motions.

“Here we go──[Wind Slash]!”

“I’m going to kill you──[Fire Bolt]!”

The blade of wind Kodachi-san unleashed hit the hobgoblin coming toward her, slicing its chest wide open and damaging it.

On the other hand, Yuzuki’s fire magic hit one of the goblin archers in the back, obliterating it with a single blow and turning it into a magic stone.

“Alright! That’s it!”

But at the same time as Yuzuki’s exclamation of joy, the arrow fired by the remaining goblin archer whizzed through the space between Kodachi-san and me.

Immediately after, a small scream.

“Damn …… ouch ……!”

“You idiot, Yuzuki! Don’t let your guard down!”

I let out a reprimanding scream as I run toward the remaining goblin archers, timing my run carefully.

I glanced behind me before I started running and saw the arrow that had pierced Yuzuki’s shoulder was about to disappear in a black haze.

“Sorry, sorry ……! Onii-chan, be nicer to me!”

“Sorry about that! But it looks like you’re doing fine”

“I’ll be fine if senpai heals me gently later!”

At least, the damage is not serious enough because she’s still doing a light talk.

I’m going to concentrate on the enemy for the moment.

In front of me, Kodachi-san was about to slash the hobgoblin with two daggers.

“───Haaaaaaaaaah!”

Kodachi-san used a sword dance and delivered a series of blows.

The hobgoblin, which had been sliced open by the wind magic and dealt two slashes by the dagger, was killed.

I’m weaving in and out of that process.

Confident that Kodachi-san would kill the hobgoblin, I ran past the vanishing creature and rushed toward the goblin archer in the enemy rear guard.

In my hand was my new weapon, a long spear that I had purchased before today’s dive.

The new spear fits in my hand and is as easy to handle as the short spear I’m using.

According to the specs at the armory, the 8,000 yen short spear has an attack power of (6), while the 25,000 yen long spear has an attack power of (10).

The meaning of those numbers is not obvious, but even from my experience gained during today’s dive, the weapon’s power was different from yesterday, when I was using the short spear.

There is no doubt this is not a weapon that has become longer.

“──Ha!”

With the long spear, I attack the goblin archer.

The tip of my spear had been dug into the monster’s body, then pierced through to its back.

After a moment, the goblin archer disappeared in a black haze and dropped the magic stone.

“Phew.”

I took a breath and looked around just to be sure.

There were no other monsters in sight.

The battle was over.

The fight was not our perfect victory. It’s because Yuzuki gets hit by a blow. I would rate the battle as good enough, as the enemy gets wiped out with almost no attacks allowed.

Instead of the monsters disappearing, a treasure box appeared in front of Kodachi-san, where the hobgoblin was defeated.

It was the first small box-type treasure box I had seen in a long time.

Recently, I have often seen small box-type treasure chests shaped like parcels.

By the way, most of the small box-type treasure chests contain [HP potion], or rather the contents of about 10 small box-type treasure chests I have seen so far were all HP potions.

After Kodachi-san used [Trap Detection], [Trap Release], she opened the “coffin-type” treasure chest.

The thing that came out of the box was a Broadsword like the other before.

I welcome it because I can sell it for a high price.

But still…

“Yesterday and today, isn’t the appearance rate of treasure chests high? It seems that they often appear from the enemies that Mr. Kodachi defeated. ……”

It may be my imagination, but I think the appearance rate of treasure chests is much higher than last week.

There were many small box-type treasure chests, and I had HP potion fever yesterday.

Kodachi-san then puffed out her chest.

“Phew. As expected of Musou-san, you have good eyes to notice that.”

“……, you say?”

“I’m trying to hide that I, Kodachi Kazane acquired the [Double Treasure Chest Drop Rate] skill when reaching level 11.”

“What?”

“Thank you. Thank you for your pleasant reaction.”

I was surprised at the time, and Kodachi-san seemed very happy.

But still, [Double Treasure Chest Drop Rate] is there such a skill?

The more treasure chests you get, the more extra income you get, so it’s a superb skill, right?

On the other hand, Yuzuki, who had just finished her first battle on the 3rd floor, was also in high spirits.

“By the way, Kazane-san, that was awesome! You were cool in battle! And you have a lot of useful skills outside of combat!”

“Well, yeah~.”

Kodachi-san gets praised by Yuzuki and looked even happier.

Her cheeks were red, and she was fidgeting.

Yuzuki looked at me with an excited face.

“Musou-senpai also seems to be a dignified seeker senpai! He fills in the gaps in the party by making the right decisions! I’m impressed!”

“Oh, oooh… Even so, you’re good at giving praise.”

“Heh heh heh. If you think that. I’d like you to pat me on the head.”

Do you intend to trick your ani with your loveliness?

I put my hand on Yuzuki’s head and pat it.

My otouto’s cheeks relaxed, and her eyes narrowed in a smile. I think she’s cute, but for some reason, she’s in otouto category in my mind.

I don’t know why he’s so much in love with me.

I wonder why she is so attached to me.

“Anyway, Yuzuki, are you okay with your injury?”

“Hmm…? Ah, well, it hurts a little, but it’s not enough to kill me.”

“Not good enough to die, right? Let me see.”

“Be nice to me, onii-chan!”

I put my hand close to Yuzuki’s shoulder and put [Earth Heal] on.

The magic activated, and Yuzuki’s wounds get quickly healed.

With this appearance, Yuzuki’s HP should have recovered completely.

“Oh, I forgot to check how much HP you had lost.”

“I remember that. I think it was ’20/28′.”

“Oh, Yuzuki. Good Job. 8 points of damage? Even if I think it’s going to be a little blurry, it seems like it’ll be fine.”

I may have been a little too wary of the goblin archer.

But I’m sure it was tough on the 1st or 2nd floor, so that’s about it.

“It looks like we’ll be able to explore the 3rd floor without any problems.

I nodded in agreement with Kodachi-san’s words.

The most troublesome enemy formation is the one we’re dealing with, and this is what we’re deal. It should be fine.

So we continued to search for the 3rd floor.

As we had expected, we could handle the subsequent battles without incident.

We were more stable than when we were alone with Kodachi-san.

We continued our search for a while, and after about four hours of searching on the 3rd floor, Yuzuki’s MP ran out.

We had just enough time, so we decided to end our search there and return home.

Now, let’s see what today’s results are.
