Then, Reina’s status was displayed.
I couldn’t believe my eyes at the outrageous performance of the hero’s profession.

(All abilities +1000!? And they increase even more with each level up…)
“Kenya, your attack power is higher than mine.”
Reina commented on my attack power while looking at my status.
(But Reina with just the knight’s equipment and that power is a monster…)
“Reina, as expected, your performance as a hero is amazing. Knight series? Couldn’t you have gotten better equipment?”
“My previous master told me to become stronger without relying on the power of equipment.”
(That Sato guy is all talk…)
“I see, then I’ll prepare equipment for you someday. Is that okay?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
Reina and I proceeded to conquer the dungeon.
If we hurry, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the 10th floor.
So, as usual, we quickly made our way through.
And as I watched, I thought she really was beautiful.
Our opponent was a Hobgoblin.
But her fighting, like petals dancing in the wind, was beautiful and she defeated it without a single clash.
She avoided everything narrowly, as if her life was not at stake.
Stats affect physical abilities and defense.
However, the handling of the sword and body movements are unique to the individual.
So, if a sword master and a novice have the same stats, the sword master will of course win, and a small difference in stats can be overturned.
Reina’s fighting style was exactly that.
It was the result of honing her own power without relying on weapons.
(Sato’s lie turned out to be true… I can’t believe he seriously thought that way.)
We reached the floor of the Goblin General.
“Gyaa!”
Slash!
Defeated in 2 seconds.
The Goblin General is no longer an opponent.
After this farming run, we should aim for the 30th floor.
We passed through the gate to the 10th floor.
A grassland spread out, an old house stood, and many adventurers were gathered.
New adventurers who reached the 10th floor, silver-ranked adventurers challenging the 11th floor.
About 100 people in total.
We used the gate to transfer to the first floor.
Then back to the second floor, and repeated the cycle to the 10th floor.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Slash! Slash!
“Phew, this is the 10th time. This long farming run is finally over.”
Kenya opened the door for the 10th time today, and the 100th time in total.
(Hm? Did the door pattern change…?)
I shook my head, thinking it couldn’t be.
My heart felt uneasy.
As I opened the door, I heard a rustling sound, or maybe I didn’t.
Was it just my imagination?
“Kenya, can you hear it…?”
“! Reina, you hear it too?”
“Yes, it seems like an illusion, but I definitely hear it.”
The sound seemed to be gradually getting louder, making my heart uneasy.
As if the dungeon was laughing…
(But it’s just a Goblin General as usual.)
The Goblin General was waiting in the center as always, grinning wickedly.
I dashed forward and swung my sword as usual.
And as always, the Goblin General spawned a treasure chest in a spray of blood.
And as always, I opened the chest and took the item.
But something was different…
Feeling a sense of unease, I glanced at the Goblin’s corpse.
(What’s this strange feeling…!?)
“It’s not turning to ash!”
The Goblin, which should have turned to ash immediately upon death, lay there unmoving, with a wide grin.
Rustle rustle rustle.
“W-What is that?”
The noise grew louder, no longer dismissible as imagination.
Rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle.
“Reina!”
“Yes.”
Something was happening.
Reina and I stood back-to-back, swords at the ready.
Suddenly, my vision darkened, and then we were in a grassland, surrounded by many adventurers.
“Is this the 10th floor?”
(Familiar scenery, did we transfer?)
Kenya wondered what was happening.
Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!
Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!
Suddenly, a loud alarm blared, warning of something, seemingly coming from the entire dungeon.
“What is it!?””Hey, what’s this sound!?”
“Hey! The gate isn’t working!”
The gate to exit faded and became unusable.
Which means we…
“Can’t get out…”
Buzz.
The alarm stopped.
Immediately, a deep tone like when a microphone is turned on, and an announcement started.
“Confirming that the 9th floor boss has been defeated 100 times by the same individual. Summoning the extra boss to the 10th floor.”
Then despair appeared.
