122-121 ◇ The Little Mermaid is a Geek




 


 The definition of a floor in a dungeon.

 For example, the Demon King's Castle has a total of 11 levels, but you don't have to clear it by breaking through the 11 rooms.
 It's easy to understand if you think of it as the same as a normal building.
 Just because it's a single floor doesn't mean it's a single room.

 The adventurer has to open the doors of many rooms, and when he finally finds a room that leads to the next level, he has to fight the floor boss. When the adventurer wins the battle, the floor is successfully conquered.
 A single "floor" is called a floor, and the number and type of "rooms" are unlimited.

 The fifth layer of [Demon of Love] Sitely-san, who leads the maid [Dream Demon], and the tenth layer in the Fenix Party battle. These were one room on one floor, a very rare form.

 The number increases if you include the types that develop one vast stage, such as the wilderness, forest and sky.
 The sixth level's sea stage is similar to this, but it has two rooms.
 The first one that Mira and I were in a while ago, and the second one we're in now.

'I'm not here........'

 The room is square. Half of the floor is white sand and the other half is filled with water. It looks like a box of seaside.
 The weather is sunny. They say the time of day can be evening or night, and the weather can be stormy or cloudy.

 In the center of the sea section, there is a long pillar - or is it a tube? There is a towering column with a hollow interior.
 It was constructed of something transparent and filled with seawater inside.
 There was a floor boss there in the dungeon attack, and after welcoming the adventurers, it would develop into a battle.

 Well, to begin with, there are rarely people who are in the boss room on a regular basis. It's just a stage.
 However, Wepal-san says that he is often holed up in there.
 If it's not at sea, then it's probably under the sea.

''As expected.

 Saying this, Mila-san takes something out of her pocket.
 It resembles a thumb-sized board that we carry around with us at all times - a registration card.

 In terms of function, it's almost the same thing.
 It's called a memory board (memory), and its function is exactly what the name implies.

 It's a small recording stone, but it can also record the entire dungeon attack video. In other words, when you finish the dungeon attack, you'll be handed this plate with all the footage at the reception desk.

"Wepal. It's the same stuff.

 Mila says. It's a phrase that sounds like the beginning of some kind of dubious deal.
 But there's no response.
 The water is quiet. There are no waves.

''It's an attack video for the 'Beginning Dungeon' or 'All Level Dungeon'. Naturally, the full version, including all unseen scenes.

 .... hmm?
 Isn't that when me and Thor and the others fought Phillip's party, as I recall...?
 It's a much talked about attack video that has slightly lost momentum with the news of the raid battle, and conversely, only my appearance has been featured again.

In addition, I have also obtained instructional footage from other channels, including training footage of Flukas and Remegeton-sama.

 My feet shook, I thought.
 No, it was the floor that was shaking.
 The grains of sand shifted and shifted constantly, making the water surface rough.

"Here you are, Mr. Remeghton.

 Mira put an umbrella on me.
 I didn't think I had one, and I was right. It is an umbrella made of her blood.

It's an umbrella for each other.................

 We are both under one umbrella together. I nodded quietly as I could read what was ahead.

 In the next moment, something flew out of the tube in the center of the ocean with the speed of a meteor.
 Amidst a large amount of water being sprayed around, the one swimming in the sky was the sixth layer floor boss - Wepal-san.

 Her bluish golden hair danced softly and her mermaid tail scratched the sky. Her skin was unsparingly exposed, and only her chest was hidden by two shells.
 It was a very fantastic sight.

 Until she fell, just like that, with a bang.

'Ka-Mira!'

 She swam in at a tremendous rate. Thanks to the water's clarity, I could see it clearly.

 As the umbrella bounced off the falling grains of water as they fluttered down, Mira-san opened her mouth.

'When I give the signal, let's split up on either side.

 She's used to it, she's calm.

'Now.'

 I leaped to the left and Mira-san leaped to the right.
 Then Wepal's body, released like a bullet from the sea, passes between us.

 I'm going to be able to say that I'm going to be able to see it.

 --It's different from my usual image.

 But yes, he was explained to me. He said he gets excited when he's in front of something he likes.

'You do some pretty awful things, aren't you supposed to accept a beautiful woman who jumps into your chest?

 It was a moment of sand all over his body. Wepal-san is washing her body with water magic.

''You've jumped slightly to Remegeton-sama's side, haven't you?

"I realized halfway through that I was avoiding you because of your personality. I didn't think you were so cold-hearted, even in your role as a chief of staff.

'Uh....'

''No, please ignore it, Remegeton-sama. Accepting such a thing will cause even a demon's body to blow up. I'm sure you've accelerated it with your water magic.

Well, that's okay.

 Oh, I faked it.
 Indeed, that was certainly too fast to simply jump out of the way.
 Many aquatic demons are able to handle water magic methods that assist in moving in the sea. Maybe they were super-accelerated by that application.

''More importantly, give me the stuff.

 Water overflows from her feet and it rises. A wiggling, moving column of water. It extends towards Mila, and Wepal moves through it.
 She should be able to change into two legs, as she did at the meeting, but she doesn't seem to.

'Talk first.'

I'd say change what's inside first but I'll trust you there.

 Mr. Wepal cowered his shoulders.
 From his words, one could infer that a deal had been struck in the past that would only build trust.

'You're clever, Lord Chief of Staff. If you had come alone, you probably wouldn't have come out. Oh, it's not that I don't like you or anything, is it?

'When she's focused, she doesn't pay attention to her surroundings. Even when he does, he responds to certain words, which is a convenient ear.

 Mira-san looks dumbfounded, and Wepal-san huffs and scratches her hair back.

'Call me an evolved ear, please.

Evolution...

 I muttered to myself.
 If you feed her attack footage or demon training footage, she bites off amazingly well.
 I mean, she is.

'Wepal is a demon nerd.
