Survival Needs

Translator: Masakibluei

Several days have pa.s.sed since we get back Erin’s staff and once again, a new problem has arisen . It’s a food problem .

I check inside the item bag . No matter how many times I look at it, the food won’t increase . I instinctively let out a sigh . After being trapped here on the 20th floor for about 10 days long, our food supplies have been diminished to the rock bottom .  

Note: “Is this Ivy plants can be eaten?”

My absent-minded joke is treated coldly . I was trying to lighten up the gloomy atmosphere but the result is just the opposite .

Note: “It might be possible . ”

Erin: “No way . ”

Note: “You are right . “

I let go of the ivy branch from my grips . The Ivy branch falls down on the ground without making any noise .

Note: “Is there anything else that we can eat?”

Erin:” No…Except the monsters…”

-----Monster? It finally comes to this . I’m pondering about Erin’s words inside of my heart . I also thought that a little . The only thing that can be eaten on this floor is only those monsters .   

In this level, there are 5 types of monsters that can be found . The first one is the frog beast that we first met, a wolf which has a body made out of crystal, A demon which holds a trident spear, one-eyed golem, and…countless roots? Or tentacles? It’s some kind of vegetation monster that swings its roots . Those are the breakdown .

Note: “Monster that can be eaten…”

I mutter while racking my brain . Most likely, the wolf and the golem are inedible because their bodies are made out of inorganic substances . Can we eat the demon? The frog beast and the vegetation monster might be possible as well .

Erin: “The frog beast and the demon might be edible to eat . ”

I’m surprised by Erin’s declaration .   So, I ask her right away .

Note: “Those guys? Can be eaten?”

Erin: “Yeah…I get to know it from my skill…”

Note: “Skill?”

I ask her again to get more explanation . If I’m not mistaken, Erin’s skill is …

Erin: “The > skill . One of the special effects of this skill is to get to know if something is edible to eat at once glance . ”

Note: “So there is a splendid way of using that skill…”

Ignoring the usual mood where she usually gets mad when her cooking skill is mentioned, she continues her explanation .

Erin: “Well . Since some several methods to cook them come to my mind, I think if we cook the properly with the methods, they can be eaten . ”

Note: “How about the vegetation monster?”

Erin:” It’s poisonous so it"s impossible . ”

I see . So that’s how it is . Those two are the only things that are edible . According to her skill to distinguish edible ingredients, those two are our only options . There is nothing else that can be eaten at this level . Gradually we have to make up our resolution . It is easier to say than you think .

Note: “Erin, let’s fight the monster . ”

This is something that I have been vaguely thinking about . It is impossible for us to break out from this level without fighting the monsters . However, these past several days, the behavior of the girl who is with me does not support this idea .

Erin: “……What do you say?”

Erin’s eyes are opened wide as she cannot believe what I said .

Erin: “…You are joking right?”

Note: “No, I really mean it . ”

As she looks into my eyes, she can sense my determination . Out of disbelief, Erin takes a step back .

Erin: “Consider it again! Stop thinking such an idiotic plan!”

Note: “Erin, you are the one who has to think it through again . “

I keep looking straight at Erin . I already decided that I will stick with my opinion .

Note: “At this rate, it’s only a matter of time that we will soon run out of our food supplies and starving to death . I think we should fight now before we totally run out of the food . Before our conditions are getting worse due to hunger, we have to do it now . ”

The other reason why I have been holding this thought is that we need some extra time . We have to be in a perfect condition to hunt the monsters at this level hence, I wanted to wait until our chance is good . Before we run out of food, we have to carry out this plan . I just want to go away with ‘It cannot be helped that we do not have food . We don’t have a chance but let’s fight!’ . This strategy is going along with avoiding the monsters, exploring the level until we run out of food, searching for the teleport crystal, and finding an exit . I keep these points down to persuade Erin .

Note: “You don’t want to die, right? Then let’s fight . ”

I know that this is a sly persuasion . I consciously take her own will and decision making like this . Speaking of this, I certainly nod my head at her to raise her conviction . Unsurprisingly, Erin reacts as what I have expected . As I took advantage of Erin’s disposition to let others decide for her, I can’t ever blame her .

Erin:” Okay, I get it . Then, how are we going to fight?”

Note: “The target would be the frog beast . In the first place, we only have two options, the frog beast, and the demon . Between the two of them, I prefer to attack the frog beast since it always acts alone . Moreover, there are a lot of them . ”

Erin silently listens to my explanation .

Note: “What if we use a magic trap to defeat them? If it works out, it will be the fastest and safest way to do . “

I remember about Erin’s magic trap during my previous training for > skill and blur it out from my mouth . But Erin shakes her head .
