Chapter 109: Thread Regarding TheDungeons

Hi there,

First off, the numbering in the comments during the thread portion were messed up because the author kinda forgot to insert a number in a comment very early on in the thread so all of the comments were off by one number, I manually fixed that one by one.

I believe there might be a chance for the releases to slow down slightly though at most it'll be a release every two days or so? Can't make any promises but I think I'll take it a bit easier though I do have something I might want to do in mind.

Still, nothing you should be too worried about, releases will still keep coming for the time being.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

「Nii-san!」(Rise)

「Uwah!」(Wataru)

As soon as we logged out, Rise invaded my room with unbelievable speed.

Due to the force with which she opened the door, the door hit the stopper and rebounded.

I was so shocked that I nearly fell from my bed.

「I thought I told you that I'd go to your room after we logged out! Well then, prepare yourself!」(Rise)

「You weren't just joking!? Before that, didn't we log out at the same time!?」(Wataru)

You would usually feel a bit dizzy for a while after you log out though...fast, she was too fast.

While we exchanged those words between us, from the first floor we heard our mom tell us 「You both are being too loud」.

Finally realizing we were making a scene, we toned down our voices and closed the door.

Rise sat down on the chair and I returned to my bed and sat down facing her.

「Nii-san, what you did was no good. Girls mature earlier. Even if it's fine now, you won't know when Philia-chan will start seeing you as a member of the opposite sex you know? From now on, abstain from making physical contact with her.」(Rise)

「Is that so? I didn't feel like it was going anywhere in that direction though...」(Wataru)

「If it reaches that point, nii-san, you'll have to start calling Albert-san father in law you know!? Are you fine with that!? To have that macho man as a father in law!」(Rise)

「You sure skipped quite a few steps in there...You are jumping into conclusions here.」(Wataru)

From acknowledging someone as a member of the opposite sex to directly getting married, what's with her train of thought?

However, I can't deny that we've acted quite overfamiliar there.

「Well, if you say so, I'll be careful. Even if she's young, a girl is a girl. You mean that I should keep things in moderation and deal with things properly? And that for someone that we just met, we are too close.」(Wataru)

「That's right. Years of experience and a sense of distance are important. They are important!」(Rise)

「Why did you say that twice...?」(Wataru)

「Just so we are clear, it's the same for other girls OK!? Like Siesta-san, like Siesta-san!」(Rise)

「S-Sure...」(Wataru)

Even if the other party doesn't mind it, as Rise said, I might have to be a bit more careful.

By the way, in TB, if you try to touch someone else when they clearly don't want you to do so, you'll be given a warning.

This is different from attacking and defending in battle though.

When you are being given the warning, your body will be transported a certain distance within seconds. It's also set so that the warning will disappear if you stop and raise both of your arms.

For people that cross the line, the management will get into contact with them.

If it comes down to that, you'll be forcibly logged out after a few seconds.

「Even if you say that, I believe that's just her genuinely getting attached to me though? I don't think it'd change that easily to liking another person as a member of the opposite sex? To begin with, since we were kids, the only girls that paid me any attention were you and Miyu. I don't have that kind of manly charm.」(Wataru)

「Nii-san doesn't know a thing! She's not the type that goes for who is popular, girls with unusual personalities are the most dangerous! If she was going for the popular types, based on looks alone, she would have gone for Shuuhei from the start!」(Rise)

「Dangerous you say...I mean, right. For the time being, I got it. Even I wouldn't want Albert to glare at me more. Besides, the conversation we had just now had nothing to do with Shuuhei, right?」(Wataru)

After that, the three of us had exchanged friend codes with Philia-chan and after doing some discussions about the balance of Albert's weapon, we split up.

I believe the next time we'll see the parent and daughter duo will be when the weapon is finished.

Afterwards, even if it was close to bedtime, Rise sat down in my room and didn't go back to hers.

It couldn't be helped so I cleaned Rise's ears.

Once I started doing so, she looked as if she was in bliss, like that, I took her into her room and put her to sleep.

This is when her being so simple helps...since she was young, her ears were her weak point.

Then, before I went to sleep I took a look at a thread I was interested in.

It was the 「Thread to talk about dungeons」.

Due to the announcement earlier, I wonder if people have already leaked the information.

I turned on the pc and browsed the page.

[Information]Thread to talk about dungeons 2[Please!]

This is a thread to talk about the dungeons in TB.

In case you are going to talk about a specific dungeon please add the name of the country, the field name and the name of the dungeon.

Ignore the trolls and be well mannered.

The next thread will be made once we reach >950 comments.

53:Nameless Light Warrior ID:B5Uh3ta

There's really no information at all...the thread has become stale.

54:Nameless Mage ID:uy9HpzR

In one of those that you have to go underground, I reached the tenth floor but it went badly, since the enemies are strong, we couldn't clear it.

55:Nameless Knight ID:9CYD56p

This thread is going so slowly.

For there to have been no replies for half a day is...

56:Nameless Shinto Priest ID:FGMnsHp

It's because of a Tengu, it's the work of a Tengu!

57:Nameless Heavy Warrior ID:ELYDf5P

It's because the people that want to clear them don't want to release the information.

58:Nameless Shinto Priest ID:FGMnsHp

Don't give him a serious reply LOL.

Leaving the jokes aside, it's also kinda because it's too early with our current level cap, maybe?

59:Nameless Archer ID:VZV5MAQ

In the lowest ones, the enemies in the first floor were around 45 right?

It feels like the developers are telling us 「Not yet」.

60:Nameless Knight ID:9CYD56p

No, since they let us enter them, wouldn't it be something like 「Try clearing this!」 instead?

61:Nameless Light Warrior ID:B5Uh3ta

Right?

If they didn't want us to enter them, they would prohibit us from entering until it was time.

62:Nameless Heavy Warrior ID:ArH96cS

Oh, unexpectedly, there are people in this thread today.

Did something happen?

63:Nameless Shinto Priest ID:FGMnsHp

Not really.

I have free time because of the event, isn't it just a coincidence and all the people that don't want to participate in it came here?

64:Nameless Martial Artist ID:2y5naAt

For people that like to fight, apart from getting money, they would go to unexplored areas. They would also avoid going into dungeons.

65:Nameless Heavy Warrior ID:ArH96cS

I see...

Well, I'm also one of those though.

66:Nameless Archer ID:VZV5MAQ

Even if there are people here, we are just chilling here.

( ´・ω・`)_且~~オチャドウゾ (Here have some tea).

...What was the time we cleared floor twenty again?

There's no doubt that it would be when the thread was really active though.

I kept scrolling through the replies and there was a portion where there were many replies within a short time frame in this desolated thread.

Should be around here...

113:Nameless Mage ID:eeNsez7

Is there anyone logged in right now?

Unless I saw it wrong, I get the feeling I saw captions saying someone reached floor twenty.

114:Nameless Archer ID:E8Zjms9

I saw it, I saw it!

Even though I was aiming to clear a floor twenty boss (ノД`)・゜・.

115:Nameless Knight ID:u43G6YX

@114 You were aiming for it huh...how should I say this, good job LOL.

116:Nameless Shinto Priest ID:NnNpRR9

Eh, the ones that cleared it showed up? Did the names appear too?

117:Nameless Mage ID:dyGxpw7

I saw it too, the one that cleared it was that guy.

118:Nameless Light Warrior ID:wsBwQpU

D-Don't tell me...it was Alb- something.

119:Nameless Mage ID:dyGxpw7

Yup, it was Mercenary Albert LOL.

It's gotten to the point where you'd expect his name to appear LOL.

120:Nameless Knight ID:wsBwQpU

Y O U A G A I N?

121:Nameless Mage ID:dyGxpw7

True Self too.

Hero-chan was not in there for some reason, but it was a five man party.

122:Nameless Knight ID:wsBwQpU

Y O U T O O?

123:Nameless Martial Artist ID:p6gGFK5

Eh...

In a way, it's a combination that I can sort of understand.

Aren't they the winners and the runner up of the tournament...

124:Nameless Archer ID:E8Zjms9

I thought that if it was PvE I wouldn't lose to them, my pride is in shambles.

(´・ω・`)

125:Nameless Shinto Priest ID:uAeWGk8

Albert and Philia, I also know about True Self, but who are the other two?

126:Nameless Heavy Warrior ID:6QNhPeZ

To begin with, Philia-chan was Albert's partner, right?

The other two should be people one of them knows?

127:Nameless Light Warrior ID:kX8Hnhm

@125 Riizu is someone from True Self's side right?

She fought alongside True Self at that time with the turtle replay.

128:Nameless Knight ID:RhmHGPJ

I get the feeling I saw the name Selene somewhere...

129:Nameless Archer ID:WrQXYjg

Me too, me too.

But I can't remember where.

130:Nameless Mage ID:Sz86Jhm

@128 @129 Wasn't it in the trading BBS?

She's a top ranked blacksmith, judging from the name she should be a girl, but since there are not many people that have seen her, I think no one knows the gender.

131:Nameless Heavy Warrior ID:Ug9gTEC

Wouldn't that make it a legit, serious party!?

Did the True Self hire him? Albert.

132:Nameless Knight ID:3c4exF2

Even though he has Hero-chan as a vanguard, would he need to do that?

133:Nameless Shinto Priest ID:eeW34hj

Aren't they Friends? They have participated in events together twice after all.

134:Nameless Light Warrior ID:PBZW7ZA

In that case, he's having Albert fight for free...I'm so jealous.

135:Nameless Archer ID:WrQXYjg

It's pretty expensive isn't it? To hire Albert as a mercenary...though I don't know the details.

136:Nameless Heavy Warrior ID:uZykSSB

Is that so? How much?

137:Nameless Knight ID:EZEtdQR

Albert has a personal blog, so go there and look it up yourself.

138:Nameless Heavy Warrior ID:uZykSSB

So strict LOL

Well then, guess I'll go take a look.

139:Nameless Archer ID:E8Zjms9

Since there's no meaning in hiding information about the twentieth floor, I'll leave this information here...

・There are traps and mimics acting as chests in every dungeon.

・The boss is on floor twenty, once you deal enough damage to its HP, it'll do a powerful attack that hits everyone.

・The monsters on the way share the same elemental weakness, the boss can be the same but there are cases when it's a different element.

Something like this, my party couldn't get through the party wide attack and was wiped.

This is the information I got from three dungeons.

Even though we were making new armour to clear the dungeons...

140:Nameless Mage ID:Sz86Jhm

In that case, I'll provide some additional information.

・The difference in levels between the monsters on the way is around five levels every ten floors.

・The boss regenerates its HP.

・There's a rest area every ten floors.

Something like that.

And there's apparently bosses that can heal themselves often and lean more towards battles of endurance.

Our second dungeon was like that, our healing items were the first to be gone and it was over for us.

141:Martial Artist ID:zpd2fKN

Good work out there, you two...

And thanks for the information.

142:Nameless Mage ID:Sz86Jhm

Well, this is just information we observed from a few dungeons...

The information in @139 @140 is not much of a secret so there's nothing wrong with saying it.

Even if the names of the people that clear it are announced now, the value of it will decrease.

Judging from how the announcement went, there should be something higher than floor twenty.

Next time, I'll aim to be the first to clear floor forty.

143:Nameless Archer ID:E8Zjms9

It's so sad (´・ω・`)

There it is, just as I expected, there's information about other dungeons here and there.

So endurance based bosses also exist huh...are they something like the Basilisk?

The one we fought should be the offensive type that the archer mentioned.

There's also other information here, there are bosses that make use of the terrain and also those that use status ailments frequently.

After reviewing more information, I turned off my PC and went to the bathroom.
