Chapter 32
“I see. Monsters aren’t altruistic by nature after all.”
Ayl, who received Velsa’s explanation first thing in the morning, came to an understanding.
“E? Ayl, you understand what’s going on?”
“Naoki, you don’t? Aa, that’s right. Even if he doesn’t go to the church, Naoki can heal his own wounds.”
According to Ayl, when you run out of potions and go to the church to get your battlewounds healed by a priest, you’ll also get a tedious sermon.
Within that they say things like adventurers shouldn’t act only for self interest, but with a spirit of altruism, adventurers should help their fellow adventurers.
No matter which church you go to, adventurers have no choice but to hear that selfish adventurers will be quickly done in by monsters.
“Enough of that. Anyway, let’s go look for this island’s dungeon.”
Velsa said, spreading honey on bread.
We take turns preparing meals.
It looks like I’m the only one able to brew herb tea.
I explained that you just need to add hot water, but Ayl puts in a huge amount of tea leaves, and Velsa, maybe because of her poor lifestyle, timidly adds it so it takes too long.
Finishing breakfast, we look for the dungeon.
Ayl, who inadvertently looked at the back of her Adventurer Card, was delighted that her level had risen from defeating the gigantic monsters and agreed to stay
on the island for a while.
For the wood for the ship, I felled trees in the area nearby and dried them by drawing a wind magic circle.
Through normal methods you’d need one to two months to dry them, but with this method it won’t even take a week.
I could have done it in an instant, but Velsa said that the wood would split with a serious face.
“Even if it was one or two months, I believe it would be fine to explore this island in the meantime.”
Velsa seems to have been completely taken in by the charm of this island.
I drew magic circles like shock resistance and magic resistance on everyone’s clothes, and then we set off for the depths of the forest.
Going along with Velsa, who immediately found rare vegetation and bugs, we put the things that can go into the Item Bag in the Item Bag.
We said Ayl was in charge monsters and magic beasts, and the ones my Search Skill picked up were annihilated.
Most of the island’s monsters are larger than the normal size, so the experience points reaped seems to be pretty good too.
Because Ayl’s Taijutsu and Sword Arts Skills increased, she moves super-humanly.
“Being able to kick mid-air is useful,”
She said, telling me and Velso to also take the Taijutsu Skill.
“We want to stay
stay human still.”
When I said so, she grinned and laughed, “Got it, got it.”
Leaving the battle junkie alone, I head to the cave where the masmascarl carried the field boar corpse last night.
“So this is the dungeon.”
Velsa said, watching the hole in the ground.
I turned on the light attached to the headlamp I had, but the battery had finally run out and it flickered out.
If I think about it, the things I brought from the previous world were the coverall and this light.
I had intended to only use it during important times, but the battery finally ran out, huh?
I indulged in those kinds of deep feelings, but if I draw a lightning magic circle then I can revive it, and if I use a light magic circle then I can make the light stronger.
In the first place, I have the Search Skill, so I don’t have the need to use it for myself.
For the other two I drew a light magic circle on the other side of the light, and I have the magic tool skill, so even installing it only took a moment.
With a thick beam of light shining from the head lamp, I jumped down the dungeon’s hole.
In the middle of the fall, the bat-like monsters, shobusurl, attacked, but they weren’t a match for Ayl, who can move in midair.

in midair.
When the shobusuri were defeated, their bodies shone for a second, then, like a gla.s.s ball they shattered and dispersed, with the magic stone and batwings falling.
Seeing that, Velsa said,
“Looks like it’s undoubtedly a dungeon”
and she retrieved the magic stones and subjugation proof.
“The subjugation proof parts obtained in a dungeon are called drop items,” she said.
Putting the drop items in the Item Bag, we explored the dungeon.
Investigating the level below us and our surroundings with the Search Skill, the amount of monsters isn’t normal.
We can’t fight them one by one so I was going to use the Confusion Bell, but Velsa and Ayl stopped me.
It’s fine if it’s masmascarl, they said, but if a strong monster evolves then it’d be nasty, so it may be troublesome but it’s better to defeat them normally.
That’s true; I don’t know what kind of monsters will come out.
I listened to the two of their words and put the Confusion Bell away; it’s been a while, so I’ll try out new weapons.
“Did you say a new weapon?”
Ayl looked at me suspiciously.
What I took out from the Item Bag was the pump that I used to spray the liquid I used when I was exterminating the masmascarl and bagroaches.
Today’s container is larger and can be carried on your back.
By the way, Ithe way, I made the nozzle easier to hold, and I also made it possible to control the radius of the spray.
It’s all thanks to the good graces of the Craftsmanship and Magic Tool Production Skills.
Using the poison masmascarl that had conveniently drawn close as test subjects, I sprayed the liquid.
At first the poison masmascarl didn’t know what was going on, but soon they screeched and fainted.
“Even if it’s this island’s large-sized masmascarl, they end up like this.”
With a narration like it’s from an infomercial, when I appealed to the other two and tries to show the pump’s excellence,
“What did you do!?”
“What the-!? Even though poison shouldn’t be effective on poison masmascarl!”
I was cross-examined with amazing intensity.
The liquid is a concentration of a relative of the chili pepper that I found in the jungle soaked in water.
It was a plant that was recorded in Camilla’s herbology book, so I tried making it last night.
They have resistance to poison, but spicy things hurt.
Ending the fainted poison masmaskarl with a knife, I retrieved the drop items and magic stones.
The experiment was a success.
“Alright! Next.”
“ “You have more!?” ”
When I change out the pump’s contents, the two exclaimed(tsukkomi).
“Of course there’s more. This is the highly antic.i.p.ated dungeon. It seems perfect for experimenting.”
Leaving the other two dumbfounded people, I searched for my next prey.
