After a good while, we finally reached the first guardian\u2019s location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, we\u2019re here. This is the first room with a guardian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaster, what\u2019s a guardian?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, didn\u2019t I explain it before? A guardian is a monster placed in a specific location, to act as a guard. Like the area bosses in Estia\u2019s dungeon. If it\u2019s guarding a door, you have to defeat it before it can be opened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat sounds about right. But it still feels a bit pointless, seeing as you can\u2019t even enter this place to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looks like Mio\u2019s poor opinion of this dungeon is already set in stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJin-sama, are you going to defeat the guardian?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHmm? Yeah, let\u2019s go with that. \u2026They placed it here, even though there\u2019s already a barrier, so I\u2019m actually pretty curious about what\u2019s inside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan\u2019t you just check with the map\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNope, that\u2019s a last resort. It\u2019s a treasure, after all. It would be a shame to spoil it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, I\u2019ve already decided not to look for treasures with the map. If there is a trap, Alta will warn me anyway\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that topic, there are several guardians, but we already identified the one guarding the core, so we can leave that one for last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a large iron door leading to the room with a guardian, and there\u2019s enough space to fight inside. As for the status of the guardian itself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Orichalcum Golem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LV100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&lt;HP Auto-Recovery LV10&gt; &lt;Hardening LV10&gt; &lt;Gatekeeper LV10&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: A golem made with Orichalcum. Extremely hard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That note, \u2026talk about self-explanatory. Basically, it\u2019s a 2-metre-high brass-coloured golem. Apparently the legendary metal orichalcum, that it\u2019s made of, is brass-coloured. In short, It looks like a crudely-made humanoid-shaped stack of rocks. <em>(ED: According to wiki, Orichalcum is \u2018sometimes interpreted as referring to a natural alloy of gold and copper\u2019. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and is also gold-ish in colour)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as for its skill composition, \u2026it\u2019s defence-oriented no matter how you look at it. Although there aren\u2019t that many skills, their levels are high, making it pretty hard to crack. Even more so, with Orichalcum being naturally resistant to magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the biggest problem with guardians is that they don\u2019t leave a corpse behind when defeated, meaning, we won\u2019t get any orichalcum as loot. Talk about a waste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Orichalcum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: A legendary metal of the highest physical and magical hardness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGuardians always leave a drop item in place of a corpse. Looks like the drop rate for this thing was set to be pretty low, but\u2026 Well, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After crushing the Orichalcum Golem with a single belly-bunch, I explained, while picking up the item it dropped. In theory, it should have been a rare drop, \u2026so much for the probability theory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, it being a legendary metal, I was afraid that my Soul Blade \u2013 Incomplete [Tangerine] would break if I slashed at it, so I decided to punch it instead. It turned out to be surprisingly brittle though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHah, \u2026you wouldn\u2019t even tell it was a mid-boss, watching the fight\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was an excellent blow. Simply wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t even get to support Jin-sama\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I entered the room \u2192 Approached it with a \u2018Flash Step\u2019 + \u2018Acceleration\u2019 combo \u2192 An instant kill with a single belly-punch. The \u2018extremely hard\u2019 part made me punch it first, to test things out, but to think it would just end like that. I\u2019m not even gonna\u2019 comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cT-that\u2019s way too strong\u2026 To think Master was actually this powerful\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah. Mikazuki, who I totally forgot was also watching the fight, became shocked. Well, no other way than to accept it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, what now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>The body~!<\/em>\u201d <em>(ED: I think she was sad the corpse disappeared)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The door in the back of the room opened when I defeated the golem. Since there was a guardian in front of it, then, naturally, there should be a treasure inside. Or rather, I wonder if there actually will\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the door, there was a small room with a treasure chest inside. So, now you\u2019re going to act like a proper dungeon, huh?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen, I will open the chest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maria declared before doing so. I already confirmed with the Map that there weren\u2019t any traps, but she still insisted on it. So overprotective\u2026 I wonder if it has something to do with her being a \u2018Hero\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJin-sama, please take a look.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After opening the chest, she handed me the contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Skill Orb (Dragon Strike)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: An orb that lets one acquire the \u2018Dragon Strike\u2019 skill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Skill Orb (Dragon Strike)\u2019. That was the name of the treasure the golem was guarding. After confirming with Alta, it seems to be an item that lets one acquire the skill when they use it, just like the name implies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow that\u2019s an interesting item! This place is finally starting to feel a little game-like!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut, according to Jin-kun, items can\u2019t have skills, right\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Sakura correctly pointed out, skills can only be learned by living beings and monsters. So, how exactly does one put a skill inside an orb?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A: A Skill Orb is made with a Soul Crystal, like the one Master already has. Although it\u2019s a pseudo-soul, it\u2019s still treated as a living being, and as such, can be used to hold and transfer skills.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u2018Soul Crystal\u2019 in question is a drop item we got after defeating the 40th floor boss in Estia\u2019s dungeon. It\u2019s supposed to be able to give life to an object, but I didn\u2019t think it could be used like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, the existence of this Skill Orb is proof that there were other people who knew about skills before we came to this world. Perhaps, it was the former Dungeon Master of this place, the person who created the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area. Maybe we can learn more from the Chieftain, once we return to the mansion. <em>(ED: Being able to see stats and skills is also one of Jin\u2019s cheat abilities. Regular people only know about magic being a thing, since it can be easily demonstrated, and about Blessings being given to heroes summoned by the Goddess)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince Master has a Soul Crystal, he can also create a Skill Orb, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven so, there\u2019s probably no reason to make one. It doesn\u2019t do anything that Master\u2019s \u2018Give and Take [Power of Life and Death]\u2019 can\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAh, you\u2019re right. It can do much more than that\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Mio and Sera noticed after listening to Alta\u2019s explanation, it\u2019s a neat little item, but given all the functions of \u2018Give and Take [Power of Life and Death]\u2019, it\u2019s of little use to our group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, what kind of skill is \u2018Dragon Strike\u2019? If it can strengthen Jin-sama, I\u2019d like him to use it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maria became overprotective again (omitted).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut, considering its name and the place where we found it, shouldn\u2019t it be a skill exclusively for Dora-chan\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, not necessarily, Sakura-sama. It sounds more like a skill for killing dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s look at the skill\u2019s description for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon Strike<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Dragon Newt-only skill. Allows one to charge \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHmm, it looks like it\u2019s a skill to increase the power of \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019. Like, the more you charge it, the stronger it will be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAh, did you take it already? Still, this place is becoming more and more game-like\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re right\u2026 I wonder, was its creator also a reincarnated person\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaybe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since we already have Tiramisu [Dinosaur Girl], it wouldn\u2019t be that strange for another person from Earth to reincarnate as a Dragon Newt. Still, it would have been nice if they at least left some information behind\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~? <em>Can Dora have the Dragon skill~?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSure. \u2026Actually, can you wait a moment? I\u2019ll use it to make more skill points first.\u201d <em>(ED: The level of each skill is based on actual skill points; 1-10 skill points = LV1; 11-30 = LV2; 31-60 = LV3; and so on, meaning, you only need a single skill point to use a skill at LV1; Jin can convert skill points of other skills at 5:1 ratio, but only into skills he already has)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyuu. <em>Okay.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy do you want to make more skill points\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sakura asked, while tilting her head. If it can only be used by Dora, it doesn\u2019t really matter how many actual skill points there are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m going to copy the \u2018Dragon Strike\u2019 skill, so that I can return it to the orb later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry\u2026 I don\u2019t follow\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHmm, are you going to put the Skill Orb back, Master?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYep, Mio guessed it right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After investigating the orb, it looks like I can add and subtract skill points from it with \u2018Give and Take [Power of Life and Death]\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut why? It\u2019s not like Master to put the treasure back, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sera asked, confused. \u2026Do I really look so greedy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, I think this Skill Orb is meant to be used in case of an emergency. You remember what Alta told us, right? The barrier will only go down when the Dragon Newts are on the verge of dying out\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, it\u2019s an emergency measure in case of a dragon attack?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaybe. I think the creator of the Hidden Area already planned for a Dragon Newt to one day enter the dungeon, when the barrier goes down due to lack of power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why the dungeon was set up in a way to not be accessible under normal circumstances. Or, in other words, the condition for entering the dungeon was set to be the near-extinction of the Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area. But leaving it without a Dungeon Master is still against the rules\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHence, if we take the orb, it will go directly against the wishes of the previous Dungeon Master. To be honest, I don\u2019t really like the way they did things, but given that it\u2019s supposed to be used in case of an emergency, it would be a waste to just take it. Still, not collecting the rare skill is not an option, so I\u2019ll just put it back afterwards, as a sort of a compromise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can see now how the previous Dungeon Master was trying to protect the Dragon Newts as a whole, and not just specific individuals, proven by the fact that the weapons left inside can only be used at the cost of sacrificing most of their people. <em>(ED: \u2018Dragon Newts\u2019 literally translates as \u2018Dragon Race\u2019)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be clear, personally, I\u2019m against it, but I\u2019m not going to go as far as to ruin their plans. As such, I decided to go with the half-hearted approach of saying: \u2018I\u2019ll take the skill, but put the item back in its original state afterwards.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow, let\u2019s give the \u2018Dragon Strike\u2019 skill to Dora.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>Yay~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After transferring the skill, I replaced the skill point in the Skill Orb, and put it back in the treasure chest. As you might expect, the Orichalcum Golem is still gone, but will it re-spawn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A: No, it won\u2019t. The Orichalcum Golem was originally a measure against people who would enter the dungeon due to unforeseen circumstances. Were the barrier to go down due to lack of power, it would also stop working.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah, so it\u2019s a safety measure against people like us. Certainly, it being destroyed would usually be tantamount to the Skill Orb being taken, so there wouldn\u2019t be much point in it re-spawning. Well, I\u2019m not going to go to the trouble of remaking it, so let\u2019s just leave it at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow then, let\u2019s take a look at the other rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>Let\u2019s go~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to defeat the next guardian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat are the other guardians even like?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To sum it up, both guardians were Orichalcum Golems, and both treasures were Skill Orbs. I think they\u2019re cutting way too many corners here. Still, it let me get my hands on two more skills, so it\u2019s not like I\u2019m not going to complain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And these are the skills we found in the orbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon Killer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Dragon Newt-only skill. Increases \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019s power against dragons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dragon Scales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Dragon Newt-only skill.

Obviously\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a side note, Maria and Sera defeated a guardian each. They were both instant kills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since there was only the last guardian left, we proceeded towards the last boss room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s only the final boss left, but will it also be an Orichalcum Golem, like the previous ones?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s hope not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~. <em>Right~?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they reuse the Orichalcum Golem for the last boss as well, I\u2019m taking all the Skill Orbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we were talking, we arrived in front of the final boss room, so I checked its status.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Original Dragon Newt \u2013 Replica&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LV150<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&lt;Draconic Magic LV7&gt; &lt;Flight LV10&gt; &lt;Body Strengthening LV10&gt; &lt;Gatekeeper LV10&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: A monster imitation of the original Dragon Newt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(ED: Different spelling than the Chieftain\u2019s species \u2013 Dragon of Origin.

It\u2019s a very eco-friendly dungeon. Well, I guess, from the very beginning, then never intended for this place to function as a regular dungeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, who wants to fight it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyui~! <em>Dora wants to fight~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since she just got three new skills, she probably wants to try them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, it\u2019s fitting, right? For Dora-chan, who\u2019s a Dragon Newt, to beat the final boss of the Hidden Area\u2019s dungeon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI already tried my strength against a guardian, so I\u2019ll leave the final boss to Dora-san.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSure, it does feel right to leave it to her. So, Dora, will you fight it alone?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyuu, Kyu~. <em>Hmm. Fight with Sakura.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEh\u2026? With me\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sakura got surprised when she was suddenly called upon. Actually, I\u2019m also curious why she chose her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu, Kyukyui. <em>Because, Sakura doesn\u2019t get to fight.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow that you mention it, I also haven\u2019t seen Sakura fight lately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell\u2026 It\u2019s true that I haven\u2019t fought for the past couple weeks\u2026 Not since the dungeon\u2019s 50th floor\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sakura replied, looking embarrassed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, Sakura doesn\u2019t like to fight. From the start, she only decided to fight in order to get strong enough to defend herself, and since she stabilised lately, both in terms of status, and emotionally speaking, she had no reason to fight any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you think about it, it was more weird for Sakura, who doesn\u2019t like to fight, to keep fighting by our side all the way through the dungeon\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly, she participated in all the fights, except for the first 10 floors, where we all held back, since we were training the newcomers at the time, and the floors 31-40, which were just too much for her to handle. <em>(ED: The graveyard area)<\/em> She never once said she didn\u2019t want to fight (except for that one time with Kusakabe). <em>(ED: The summoned Hero they met in Estia)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat sounds about right. Can you tell us why, Sakura-sama?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat was\u2026 to be together with Jin-kun\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u201dEh?\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio and I both exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2026 I wanted to stay with Jin-kun\u2026 I wanted to continue our journey together\u2026 Since Jin-kun wanted me to fight as well, I defeated those monsters\u2026 You needed a mage to help you fight in the dungeon, so I did\u2026\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thinking back, I don\u2019t recall Sakura even volunteering to take part in a fight. Still, she kept fighting by my side when I was an Adventurer in Kastal, and when I was an Explorer in Estia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPerhaps, were you pushing yourself all this time? Did you not fight since Estia, because you overworked yourself back in the dungeon?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be a major problem if I was forcing someone to fight against their will. That would go against my basic principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, it\u2019s not like that\u2026 I don\u2019t like fighting, but it\u2019s not like I absolutely hate doing it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see, that\u2019s a relief\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking at her expression, I don\u2019t think she\u2019s been pushing herself. Whether it\u2019s a good thing, or a bad thing, Sakura seems to have gotten used to fighting monsters over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHowever, after the dungeon, there were mostly individual fights\u2026 Since other people wanted to do it, I didn\u2019t want to take their place\u2026 So I ended up lagging behind\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Estia\u2019s dungeon, we mostly decided who will fight by the rise of hands. Naturally, Sakura never did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see. I think I understand now, but please don\u2019t push yourself. If you don\u2019t want to fight in the future, please feel free to tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, I will\u2026 Thank you for worrying about me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, I didn\u2019t realise it was so important for Sakura to stay together with me. \u2026No, I think I already knew deep inside, since our very first talk in this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, basically, Sakura-sama likes Master so much, you can\u2019t stand not being together with him, right? It\u2019s love, right? \u2026But then, wouldn\u2019t that make Sakura-sama the main heroine?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio said something stupid again, while joking around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell\u2026 I certainly like Jin-kun, but I\u2019m not sure if I have romantic feelings for him\u2026 I\u2019ve never been in love. I\u2019m not sure about my feelings, since I\u2019ve never felt like that before\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cS-Sakura-sama, that\u2019s just too sad\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio was in tears, due to all kinds of things coming to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You wouldn\u2019t think we were standing in front of the boss room, given the atmosphere. Still, isn\u2019t it high time to go back to the main story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, Sakura, how about fighting together with Dora this time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~, Kyuo~? <em>Sakura, fight together~?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dora kept looking at Sakura with sparkling eyes. It\u2019s way too powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, I can\u2019t refuse Dora-chan if she asks like that\u2026 I thought I should participate in a battle soon, so it\u2019s just right\u2026 Thank you, Dora-chan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>You\u2019re welcome~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Sakura and Dora finished their preparations, we finally entered the last boss room. On a side note, the rest of us also went in, but we aren\u2019t going to take part in the actual fight. If we\u2019re in the way, we can always just leave with \u2018Portal\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u2018Original Dragon Newt \u2013 Replica\u2019 is, \u2026way too long of a name to say each time, so I\u2019ll just call it the \u2018Last Boss\u2019 from now on. Anyway, the Last Boss was waiting in its human form in the middle of a 100-metre-long square-shaped room. It looks like a tall woman. The room is pretty large, and it\u2019s a Dragon Newt after all, so maybe it\u2019ll transform\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, the final boss room is located in the very centre of the barrier surrounding the Hidden Area. Well, to be more precise, the room with the core, that the Last Boss is guarding, is in the actual centre. Additionally, the Chieftain\u2019s mansion is located right above the core room. I guess the previous Dungeon Master had a habit of keeping all the important things in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDora-chan, let\u2019s do this\u2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu! <em>Un!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After entering the room, Dora rushed straight for the Last Boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>Fire~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGYUOOOOO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*loud explosion*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As she approached, Dora cast her \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019, but it was met with the Last Boss\u2019 own fire breath, causing a big explosion in the middle, where the two collided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, didn\u2019t the Last Boss just say something? \u2026It didn\u2019t get translated by Sakura\u2019s \u2018Connect\u2019, so maybe it was just an angry roar. I guess the default is not to give dialogue options to your dungeon\u2019s final boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu<em>~<\/em>i! <em>E~i!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGYUOO!?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dora, who didn\u2019t seem to get slowed down at all by the breaths\u2019 explosion, approached the Last Boss, and swung down her battle staff. The Last Boss crossed its arms in front to try and block, but it couldn\u2019t kill the momentum and got blown away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGYOO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyukyu~! <em>No can do~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having landed safely, the Last Boss tried to pay Dora back with a kick of its own, but she easily caught it with her shield. Far from being blown away, she didn\u2019t even move from her initial spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyui! <em>Ei!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dora tried to push the Last Boss back with her shield, but it just jumped back. \u2026It\u2019s pretty light-footed, all things considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will support you\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sakura cast several \u2018Light Balls\u2019 from \u2018Light Magic\u2019 and \u2018Dark Balls\u2019 from \u2018Dark Magic\u2019, sending them all towards the Last Boss on a curve around Dora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGYUUU !?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Last Boss tried to dodge, but it couldn\u2019t track all the alternating spheres, and got hit by several of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both \u2018Light Ball\u2019 and \u2018Dark Ball\u2019 are low-level magic spells, so they don\u2019t do much damage, but they are useful in that they can be remotely controlled, and are easy to use in large quantities. It looks like the two agreed to leave the leading role in this fight to Dora, while Sakura supports her from the back with low-level magic spells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>Eat this~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dora unleashed another breath with her \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019, but this time, the Last Boss was preoccupied with Sakura\u2019s magic, and failed to counter in time, letting her land a direct hit. Good job you two!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGYURIOOOO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyau!? <em>Kyah!?<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the explosion subsided, Dora got blown away by a tail that suddenly emerged from inside of it. It looks like she defended herself with her shield though, so the sneak attack didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the explosion finally subsided, what appeared was, obviously, the Last Boss, which transformed into its dragon form. It didn\u2019t strictly resemble any dragon species, like a Flame Dragon, an Abyssal Dragon or a Golden Dragon, but rather looked like a really big, round dragon. No, let\u2019s put it this way. It looked as if the Feather Dragon, that Dora transformed into, got enlarged several times to make it even more grand. Its whole body was covered with silvery-white hair, and it had 3 pairs of bird-like wings, plus it shone brightly, causing a halo to form around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s very pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt almost looks divine, doesn\u2019t it? It kind of resembles Dora-chan, so, will she also eventually look like this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf she does, it would be hard to keep using her as a pillow. \u2026Maybe as a bed would work instead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLooks like Master will view Dora as bedding, no matter what happens\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOr, was it as a pet\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pets in bed\u2026 those are ants, right? <em>(ED: As in, small animals. No good way to translate this)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we were talking about some random stuff, the Last Boss charged towards Dora. Looks like it\u2019s about to release another \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! Kyu~! <em>N~! N~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGYURYOOOO!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI won\u2019t let you\u2026! \u2018Ice Wall\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dora groaned, the Last Boss roared, and Sakura protected Dora with a magic spell. The Last Boss\u2019 \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 is pretty powerful at level 7, but it was still completely blocked by Sakura\u2019s \u2018Ice Wall\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! Kyu~! <em>N~! N~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGYUOOOOOOO!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Last Boss kept its fire breath going, trying to break through the \u2018Ice Wall\u2019, but it still showed no signs of cracking. The breath started to weaken after a while, and just as it was about to stop, the girls counterattacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDora-chan\u2026! Now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Sakura\u2019s words, the \u2018Ice Wall\u2019 disappeared, making it that there was now nothing in between Dora and the Last Boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>Special Fire~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*even louder explosion*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Immediately after that, Dora released a powerful \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 attack, much stronger than all her previous ones. That groaning before, was likely her, charging its power with \u2018Dragon Strike\u2019. After the sound finally stopped, and the explosion cleared, the Last Boss disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the walls of the room, that haven\u2019t been affected at all by the previous fire breaths, were now all burned by the power of this charged attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s some serious firepower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDora-chan, wow\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s already plenty powerful, and that\u2019s with Dora\u2019s suppressed stats. I wonder how powerful it will be at her full strength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight? And Dora-chan\u2019s \u2018Draconic Magic\u2019 is only at level 5 now, so there\u2019s still plenty of room to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s already this powerful with just \u2018Draconic Magic LV5\u2019, \u2018Dragon Strike LV1\u2019, and status suppression. When you max all of these out, it will surely be terrifyingly powerful. <em>(ED: In case you forgot, Jin intentionally limits everyone\u2019s stats, to be roughly those of their enemies, to let them train better during fights)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we were giving our impressions, the door at the back of the room opened. There should be the dungeon core inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe did it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyui~! Kyuo~! <em>So much fun! Master, praise!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay, well done Dora. You too, Sakura. Thank you for your hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyu~! <em>Yay~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I complimented Dora and Sakura when they returned. Dora hugged me, so I stroked her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes\u2026 So, what will Jin-kun do next\u2026? There\u2019s a dungeon core, so, will you become the next Dungeon Master\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, I don\u2019t plan on managing this dungeon. I\u2019m just gonna become the Dungeon Master for&nbsp; a moment\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUm, come again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio picked up on my particular wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, since we\u2019re already here, I\u2019ll temporarily become the Dungeon Master in order to re-spawn the guardians and the Last Boss. I can\u2019t just leave the final boss room empty like this. Afterwards, I\u2019ll relinquish my control over the dungeon core, and it will be exactly like before we entered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo like: \u2018remember to clean up after yourself, once you\u2019re done\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPrecisely. It will be \u2018cleaner than when we first used it\u2019, or something along those lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think I saw that written in the school\u2019s girls\u2019 bathroom once\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere was one in the boys\u2019 bathroom too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After answering Sakura and Mio\u2019s questions, I took everyone into the dungeon core room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt looks like the treasure chest rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYep\u2026 They are cutting corners again\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inside is virtually identical to the rooms where we found the Skill Orbs before. The dungeon core in the middle is visibly smaller than the one in Estia\u2019s dungeon. I think it\u2019s about a third of the size. It seems that the difference in size directly corresponds to the difference in performance, so, in that regard, one could say that this dungeon\u2019s core is even smaller than a third of Estia\u2019s. <em>(ED: Again with comparing sizes\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen, I\u2019ll become the Dungeon Master.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, Mio-chan also wants to become a DM~!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, it will be faster if I do it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I registered as the new Dungeon Master by touching the core, like I did in Estia. I didn\u2019t feel any new information flowing into my head, probably because it was already my second time. Looking around, it doesn\u2019t seem like the previous DM left any information behind in the dungeon. \u2026A shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Dungeon Master\u2019s privileges, I re-spawned the guardians, and the Last Boss. I also gave the Last Boss the \u2018Self-Destruct\u2019 skill. That one\u2019s a must. Once I was done, I relinquished my control over the dungeon, so that the next person that touches the core can become its new master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay, that\u2019s it for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you for your hard work, Jin-sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s it for this dungeon. It\u2019s almost noon, so should we head back soon?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d x5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKyui! <em>Yes~!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I was about to leave, I suddenly recalled something, so I decided to make sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy the way, Mikazuki, you won\u2019t tell anyone about what happened inside, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mikazuki, who followed us into the dungeon, barely said anything, all the time we were inside. Well, she was probably just too dumbfounded by what was happening around her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, honestly, I couldn\u2019t believe what was happening in front of me, I almost felt like I was dreaming. Is this normal in the outside world\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaster was just showing off. It\u2019s not normal. By the way, please don\u2019t tell anyone about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes. I don\u2019t even want to imagine what the consequences would be if the people in the village found out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio advised the seriously shaken Mikazuki. Well, if you see the dungeon, that\u2019s the cornerstone of the entire Dragon Newts\u2019 Hidden Area, get conquered so easily, it\u2019s only natural to get shaken. Also, it seems she didn\u2019t even know about there being a dungeon here to begin with\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we exited the dungeon, we decided to go back to the Dragon Newts\u2019 village. There were other sightseeing spots that Dora recommended, but I decided to put them on hold, since they wouldn\u2019t be able to beat the dungeon anyway. Instead, we decided to implement Mio\u2019s food-culture hazard plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou really were serious about this thing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOf course! It\u2019s #8 on my \u2018Top 30 things to do after coming to a fantasy world\u2019 list! Plus, this place with its completely underdeveloped food culture is a perfect hunting ground, \u2026I mean, the perfect place to make it happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She just said \u2018hunting ground\u2019. This girl. Well, considering the meat skewers incident, it probably isn\u2019t far from the truth\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut, what exactly will you do? Will you distribute meat skewers like before?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c*tsk* *tsk* *tsk*. I won\u2019t do the same thing twice. Naturally, I will grasp the Dragon Newts\u2019 stomachs with an entirely new dish!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c*drip\u2026*\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMikazuki, that\u2019s dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAh, I apologise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio\u2019s declaration was apparently reason enough for Mikazuki to start drooling again. Looks like there\u2019s one Dragon Newt whose stomach was already captured right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSpecifically, we\u2019ll be setting up food stands! We\u2019ll be serving food, but only to those who have already been tamed! By doing it this way, I will gradually teach the tamed Dragon Newts how to cook, until I take full control of the entire Hidden Area!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mio finished her long-winded speech with a proud look on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIsn\u2019t that just a hostile takeover?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou betcha! If it works, even more people will come to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot sure If I really want them too\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no longer a food culture hazard at that point, it\u2019s a food culture invasion. Not to mention, the Dragon Newts have barely any resistance against delicious food, so it will be super effective. Looks like the number of people who will ask to be tamed will increase again\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, Mio-chan\u2026 what kind of food will you serve this time\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGood question, Sakura-sama! The goal this time is to make a dish using only the Hidden Area\u2019s own ingredients. For the meat skewers, I used seasoning and sauce I had on hand, but this time that\u2019s not allowed! I want to make a dish that can be reproduced with just the things found in the Hidden Area! A local speciality dish made with local ingredients by yours truly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYeah, Mio seems much more hyped than I originally expected\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Newt\u2019s Hidden Area, \u2026it\u2019s done for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dora<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LV63<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Skills:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Martial Arts: &lt;Martial Arts LV5&gt; &lt;Staff Mastery LV10&gt; &lt;Shield Mastery LV10&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magic: &lt;Magic LV5&gt; &lt;Draconic Magic LV5&gt; &lt;Original Spells&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Techniques: &lt;Techniques LV3&gt; &lt;Compounding LV6&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Body: &lt;Body LV5&gt; &lt;Body Strengthening LV10&gt; &lt;Charge LV10&gt; &lt;Roar LV10&gt; &lt;Flight LV10&gt; &lt;Bite LV10&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Other: &lt;Luck LV1&gt; &lt;Dragon Strike LV1 new&gt; &lt;Dragon Killer LV1 new&gt; &lt;Dragon Scales LV1 new&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Equipment: \u2018Ruler\u2019s Staff \u2013 Replica\u2019, \u2018Shield of Justice \u2013 Aegis\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Author\u2019s Note: I\u2019m currently working on a side story after a long while.
