Dungeon Renovation ch3-2

We did it!
We did it, Maho!
We really defeated the dragon!

Eh? It's dead? Is that you meant by it turning into crystals...?
That's right!
There's so many huge magic crystals!

We did iiiiit!
Gya~
So they don't turn into statues, huh?
I was gonna decorate the place with it..

Well, it's been defeated, so all's good!
Hah~ With this much, I could buy anything...

Do these sell for a high price?
Pretty~
Ah! You're free to take a bunch too, Maho!
I didn't really do anything, after all...

Seriously... I'll just take ten percent.
...Twenty five percent...
...Half...
Could she actually be poor?

Well, I don't really understand the value of these things,
so let's move on for now.
We can't carry this much.
Au au...
...Okay.

It feels like it'd be a waste to sell them, though.

Ah.

Come to think of it, what about that dungeon acclimization thing...?
Wasn't I supposed to get a level up or something?
Eh? ....Ah, you're right!

It might be because you didn't attack it directly...
So cheesing it is no good, huh~...

Maybe it's that thing where you don't get any EXP from the last boss?
Can't help but feel a little bummed about it.
Guess I'll have to keep at it as a level 1 for now~
...?

Daaah~...

We're here...
Stairs... are rough...
It's that bad?

These round trips are a pain.... Aren't there any save points or anything?
Sa...ve?
They're like... rest areas or something like that.
I see...

I guess monsters don't appear around teleportation monuments.
You can use those to transport between floors.

Eh? The heck?

So if we find one of those, we can escape!

For a moment, I thought we'd have to clear every single floor!"
...

...I...
guess so...

...?

Ooh~...!

Wow... A flower garden?
Wait, Maho!

These are all Hydra Weeds...

Hydra Weeds.
Poisonous plants that don't wilt and immediately revive even when cut.
Just touching their poison is enough to paralyze your entire body.

Anything goes in this place, huh?
What do we do...?
We need some powerful flame magic to burn away these weeds...

but I don't have that kind of power...
...

What are you saying, Fiona-kun~?
Eh?

True, since this is deep inside a dungeon where materials are limited... magic would normally be the only way to burn things.
But we're different.
We've got unlimited tools at our disposal.

Wh-What do you mean...?
It means poisonous plants are nothing to us!
Before the might of the home center...

they're just your garden variety weeds.

Kerosene-fuelled weed burner - ¥25,000

Ora~! Let's sterilize this filth~!!

Maho! How's it going?

Safety harness

It's going well! But if anything happens, use that to pull me back and save me!

Hm...? Huh?
Ooooh?

What's wrong!?
I feel kinda itchy! Is it the poison!?
Really!? But you're moving normally.

My whole body feels hot.
I guess I was careless...
...Hey.

Isn't that the dungeon acclimization?
Eh?

Hydra Weeds are akin to monsters too, after all.
...You mean

I'm levelling up!?
Yeah... I think?
WOOOOOAH!!

p10

You wanna do it too, Fiona?
I'm fine. You should get as much acclimization as you can, Maho.
Oh, you sure?

In that case, I'm getting all the EXP in this place!

Phew~

Nice and tidy!
Amazing... You did it so easily...

p11

You really are reliable, Maho...
Nah~
Like I said, it's the home center that's amazing, not me.

If anything, the way you don't miss out on picking up even those tiny magic crystals is what's amazing.
Au...

Incidentally, we left just a few Hydra Weeds intact.
They might be of use down the line.
And we can burn them easily.
We've been spared!

Okay, let's keep going!
Uweeeh...

p12

This... is just plain tiring...
I guess it takes a while to get used to the acclimization?
Is this some kind of teasing play...?

Should we go back and rest?
I'll carry you.
No, we should at least take a look inside...

I thought I had become a super Earthling,
but what is this...?

Huh?
Hmm?

p13

It's pitch black...
