Volume 1 - Ch 77
Year 7442, Month 6, Day 4
After ending lunch with Zulu, I thought about going for an after meal walk, but before that I felt like getting some tea. Since I still haven't done my daily training for today rather than a walk I'll take a short break. After that it should be fine if I do some running. Since my throat is dry I'll have some bean tea. I'm already used to bean tea, or rather I actually like it quite a bit.
After walking for a few minutes I entered a random restaurant and ordered some bean tea and tea-cakes, after paying the 13 Z in Dai Shizu and Shizu coins I lean back in the chair and stretch my legs out. I sip away at my bean tea that's hot enough to give off steam and throw two or three roasted beans into my mouth crunching away at them. The scent of the roasted beans spreads through my mouth. The roasted beans have just the right amount of salt so while I was thinking I would come to this place for tea again I sip away at my bean tea.
I wonder if it's this crowded here even though it's past noon because of the reputation of this bean tea? It's a good thing I was able to get a seat. The conflict between goblins. Scavenger Crawler. The various items we found. If I just look at the results then I'm completely satisfied. However, what about the facts? Even though I felt like we walked around quite a bit according to what I've heard that's only a small portion of the dungeons 1st floor it seems. I wonder how many % of the 1st floor we were able to explore?
If it was only a few % then in order to explore enough of the 1st floor to make it to the 2nd floor then we would have to enter every day for a month I guess? If the place we end up being teleported to ends up overlapping then it's probably best to think it would take even longer. In the first place, even though we were only in the dungeon for a few hours it wore away at our nerves that much. Isn't it a bit unreasonable to try and challenge the dungeon every day without rest? If we don't rest for at least two days a week to relax our nerves a bit then we might end up making a fatal mistake. Since there's 6 days in a week for the time being I guess we should do 2 days of work and 1 day off. If we're going to go to the 3rd or 4th floors after this then I'm sure we'll have to camp in the dungeon as well, if it comes to that then I'm sure it'll be difficult we don't have several days for rest after we return.
What was it again? Remember, those five parties that are called the top teams, it seems that they even have tons of members of over 10 years but they still haven't broken through the 5th floor. The only ones I've seen are the {Verdure Brotherhood} but the age of the elf that seemed to be the leader of that party was 39. His level was stupidly high at 19 as well. Just thinking in terms of abilities and I can earn experience three times more efficiently, and my growth per level up is three times as well. Therefore what it took them 10 years to do I should be able to catch up with in around 1 year. Although, it would require another 7 of me for that sake.
No, even if there was another 7 of me it still would probably be impossible to catch up to them in a year. There's a conclusive difference in experience between them and I. I can't imagine that the number of times I enter the 1st floor would become 1/9th of them. I'm sure there's a lot of things you can only learn through experience like the location of traps of which is the correct path as well. I wonder if it would be a good idea to buy a map after all. Since it's only about 1 gold coin I guess I should go all out and buy one. It might fine to buy one with just the earnings from today. If we at least know the locations of traps and we don't have to be on guard as much as that then it would be a cheap purchase. However, I'm sure there's no such thing as a perfect map. I guess even if that was the case we couldn't relax.
It might be thought that if you have the money, you should just buy it but just for the map of the 1st floor that has traps added is 800,000 Z. It's 800,000 yen. I can't buy it so easily. In Bakuddo it's an amount which a family of 6-7 people can live for a year and still have change. If it's a family of serfs then I don't even know how many families could live on it. Including the equipment I just paid an amount that can buy a war horse for Zulu. And the earnings from the dungeon this time have too much of a bonus feel to them. I'm sure there's no way we could earn this amount every time. If that was the case then just putting some effort into it on the 1st floor I could earn plenty of money in 5 - 6 years. Since there's no traps on the 1st floor that will kill you instantly if you could safely earn money then who would go to the 2nd floor and beyond? It would even be a waste to even just buy slaves.
I'm thinking about things like that while sipping bean tea.
"..ra..not at all..and..long sword.."
"..ke..su..but..they are.."
"..and..other..and..joking..there."
"..unusual..girl..that..idiot..waha."
I can hear the talking voices of customers from all over the store. I finish drinking up my bean tea that's started to get lukewarm and go to stand from my seat and go training.
"....Semayousuke is waiting there."
The voice I heard from two tables behind me kept me from standing completely up. Semayousuke? What's that? It sounds like something I've heard from somewhere? No, something I'm used to hearing? I secretly turned and looked around. It seems that the group of adventurers behind me is talking so I can't hear very well. At the table behind that there's two men sitting and talking about something. One is a human man and the other is a Bunny-man man. However, the hair of the Bunny-man man is black and his facial features look Japanese. The human man looks to be in his late teens but the Bunny-man man seems to be around the same age as me. On Orth we look even younger than our age but that's the face of a Japanese in his mid teens.

As expected he was a reincarnated person. I wonder if Semayousuke was his original name? I have no way of knowing the kanji for it but I guess that's the reason why I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. They're still talking about something. In order to not be suspected I moved to the opposite seat of the table I was at and continued using Identify.
Unique Ability: Highly Efficient Digestive System; A digestive system with an extremely high ability. If it's an organic material that isn't toxic then roughly no matter what it is it can absorb the nutrients from it with almost the maximum efficiency. Consequently of that the amount of excretions also decreases. By using this ability after eating a meal it breaks down organic matter in the digestive system other than the user them self. And absorbs it. Therefore, it should be kept in mind that this ability is not always at work. Furthermore, this ability has a level for no reason other than convenience.
How...Amazing..Or is it? No, it's amazing but. I can accept that to go on living there's no greater Unique Ability than this. If I remember correctly, I've heard that the amount of nutrients the human digestive system and absorb from food is about 1/3 to 1/4. If you were to use some extreme logic then I guess it would mean you can stay healthy while only eating 1/3 the amount of food. No, if you take into consideration absorbing the more difficult nutrients then it might be even more efficient. However..Hey? How about it? Even though he's a Bunny-man if he eats a normal meal then just a tiny small piece of round poop comes falling out? It might be different though.
I try straining my ears in order to hear their conversation. Since there's some distance and a loud group between us I can't hear it well. What I was barely able to hear is they were trying to tell someone, "This evening", "the most of the Northwestern ridge", "come", "Semayousuke is waiting there". I can guess several things from these words.
First off it's only obvious but there should be another person who can understand the details. And that other person should be someone related to either Semayousuke or Dereonola. Since they're saying Semayousuke then there's a possibility the other person is a reincarnated person but I can't tell that much. Also, it's unknown if it's pointing that this guy himself is Semayousuke. However, at the very least the possibility is high that person who this message is for knows the person called Semayousuke. It's also possible that Semayousuke is a name on Orth but somehow it seems unsuitable for Orth, no, it's safe to say it's not a name from the Kingdom of Rombert.
