Chapter 85: Dungeon of Ripples・Boss
「Alright, this floor is the last one~」
「「Last one~」」
We easily finished capturing the twenty-ninth floor and finally stormed into the last floor of the dungeon, the thirtieth floor .
「「>」」
And before long, we found the door of the boss room .
Promptly touching the door of the room and entering, what we came into was a coast-like place .
「「Sea~?」」
「Looks like it~」
A place with seawater that reached my knees . Because I see foreshore on my left, the right is most likely an open sea .
While observing the surroundings, a light fired from the open sea . That is the sign of the boss appearing .
「Shall we have Allen and Elena get on Joule? Joule, take care of them please」
「「Yes~」」
「That would be for the best . But, Feat is the only one without the mermaid bracelet, so be careful of the water, okay?」
While organizing the battle preparations, the light gradually settled down .
When the light completely settled, a huge squid of several meters in size appeared . On the contrary of my Kraken expectations, it was a monster called Little Kraken .
Yeah, it's not little at all, isn't it!? Ah, but normal Kraken would be several times the size, so little is not wrong?
「Kiiーーーーー!!」
「」
When I immediately firedtowards the Little Kraken, its leg got cut off .
「Ehh!?」
「「Ohh~」」
However, the Little Kraken's leg regrew in a blink of an eye . The leg which was cut off is still floating on the water surface though......
「Next, Allen~! ――」
Allen's magic hit the Little Kraken and plucked off one of its legs . But, the Little Kraken's leg immediately grew back .
「Next, Elena! ――」
Same thing happened to Elena who followed up after Allen .
Joule and Feat looked at the Little Kraken in amazement .
「Indeed, I don't know to what degree it can regenerate itself, so bringing it down in one go sounds good...... then, let's prepare」
「「>」」
The Little Kraken's regeneration ability is troublesome, so I decided for Feat's proposal which was to bring it down with a simultaneous all-out attack .
「Let's go ―― One, two, go . 」
「「」」
>
>
――Dokaーn!
Everyone's magic hit the Little Kraken and an outrageously loud noise resounded .
A massive amount of seawater flew into the air, a torrential rain obstructed the vision at the place where the Little Kraken was . Like this, I'm unable to confirm the Little Kraken's status .
When the seawater rain subsided, what I saw was a worn-out state of the Little Kraken . The Little Kraken sunk into the sea just like that .
「「」」
After a short while, drop items drifted towards us .
A blue magic stone, Little Kraken's meat, and squid ink . Strangely, the three separated legs of the Little Kraken floated to us without disappeared as well . Moreover, they are bigger than me .

[Little Kraken's Leg]
Squid tentacle . Edible .
Moderately elastic with a chewy texture .
＝＝＝＝＝
...... It seems to be edible .
It's not larger just by a little bit, but does it have the characteristic food texture of tentacles?
Rather, I'm curious about the tentacles too, but now's the status time! I have not confirmed my status since meeting with Kaiser after all . I feel a bit worried~ Mainly about the level difference between me and the children......

Hmm...... level 29, huh...... it's raising favorably, but Allen's and Elena's level is...... yeah, as I thought...... level 30...... they have overtaken me......
Un, I thought so...... most of the monsters in this dungeon were defeated by Allen and Elena . It's only the natural result...... haa......
My level was lower than Joule's and Feat's when we met . But, I surpassed them once . However, Joule caught up before I noticed again . Feat's level is just under me, she's level 28 .
umm, next is...... oh! I got new skills . [Dagger Technique][Clarity]and[Trap Dismantling] .
I have completely forgotten about the[Fire Magic]I received from the Fire God . I'm not using it at all .
Next is...... wha!? Those titles-!!
[Conqueror of Intermediate-Grade Dungeon]was expected, but~ The hell is[Food Evangelist]!?
Just when did I obtain such title!
...... Although I say that, it's a title I vaguely understand why I obtained it . I mean, a God has been delighted about the cooking development, so getting a title wouldn't be strange, right?
While received the shocks from the status contents――creaking sounds echoed, and a door in the deepest part of the room opened .
「Onii~cha~n」
「Opened~」
「Thank you . Then, shall we go everyone?」
「「>」」
There was a room in the deepest part that was more luxurious than the one on the twentieth and tenth floors .
「「Treasure~」」
Just like in the Earth Dungeon, a treasure chest appeared . It's possible that it's a reward for the first capture of an undiscovered dungeon .
「Then, I'm opening it~」
「「What is it~?」」
What was inside the treasure chest was a sword the size of an adult .
「...... This, what to do with it?」
It's a splendid sword without a doubt . It's similar to a magic sword with fire magic sealed inside .
No matter how much effort I would put it, this doesn't look like something I could manage to handle .
「「It~?」」
Feat tilted her head in wonder at me who didn't collect the sword right away . Following her, Allen and Elena made the same gesture . Moreover, even Joule reacted excessively .
「N? It's a good sword, but it's not usable for me~ I was just taking a look . Well, it's a sword gained by capturing a dungeon, so I will take it regardless whether I can use it or not――eh, huh?」
Even though I already stored the sword in the, the treasure chest didn't disappear .
「「N?」」
「...... Perhaps」
The treasure chest this time wasn't made from wood like the ones we encountered on the way, but it was made from metal while decorated with jewels, it was a bit extravagant chest .
When I tried storing it in theas a test――
「Ah~」
I was able to collect it .
Apparently, this treasure chest is also treasure-ish? I don't know uses treasure chests could have, but I decided to take it .
「Shall we return?」
「「Un!」」
「Because there might be people on the first floor, this is it for Joule and Feat」
「Of course . See you next time」
「「See you~」」
Joule and Feat returned to my shadow and I took Allen and Elena to the transfer device .
Until now, we would be forcibly transferred as soon as we touched the transfer device, but it was different this time .
I felt like I had the option to choose a destination in mind――the hall on the first floor, deep inside the tenth floor, and the innermost place of the twentieth floor .
Indeed, this is the first time that the destination of the transfer isn't fixed and it's possible to choose from multiple destinations .
「「Where~?」」
It seems that the choice to choose the destination conveyed to Allen and Elena as well .
「Let's see . Then, let's try going to the twentieth floor for a moment」
「「Twenti~eth!」」
When we recognized the twentieth floor as the destination, a unique dizziness from the transfer assaulted me .
And the next moment, we have appeared in a different room from the room on the thirtieth floor .
I see a waterfall on the other side, so this is without the doubt the twentieth floor .
「Then, let's return this time」
「「Un!」」
「Allen, Elena . The first floor is next, okay?」
「「Un, first floor~!」」
Confirming that they could transfer safely, I touched the transfer device again and returned to the hall on the first floor .
There were several people in the hall and it got a little noisy after we appeared after using the transfer device, but we left behind the dungeon just like that and returned to the town of Bailey .
