Test
News Time
Currently 9:40 AM, the captain passed away last night.
Oh no, that was just a story from an adult game I was fantasizing about. It seems I have a habit of recalling such things when in the mood for intimacy.
So, to avoid waking up the still-sleeping girls, I quietly get up, wash my face, boil water, and turn on the TV at low volume. Drinking a cup of hot water alone like that, after a while, Serai-san and the others also wake up, rubbing their sleepy eyes.
"Good morning... I'm thirsty..."
"Wash your face first, oh..."
Serai-san, who just woke up, leans on me and tries to drink hot water directly from the cup in my hand, almost spilling it. However, she recovers quickly after I steady the cup near her mouth, and then heads to the bathroom.
"Good morning, everyone. What time is it now... (rub, rub)"
"It's almost 10 AM."
"Yawn... this futon is really nice. I slept so soundly..."
Shizue-san seems to like the high-quality feather futon. Hehehe, it was worth splurging on that.
[―Now, let's move on to the results of the compiled reports. The most significant damage in this Dungeon Stampede was caused by a monster called a slime. Please watch the expert opinions summarized on VTR here.]
Hmm, slimes, huh...
They are translucent, and their weak points are visible through their bodies. But if you don't know how to defeat them, they can be surprisingly tricky opponents. Because, without targeting their weak points precisely, no matter how much you attack their amorphous bodies, you won't cause much damage.
"Zuzu~h, hoho..."
Nodding to the expert's opinion while drinking hot water, the two who just washed their faces sit on either side, making a morning sandwich.
"Hmm... even though it's an easy monster to defeat."
"Shizue, it's not '[hmm].' When slimes stick perfectly to your body, you don't know how to attack them, and it's really frustrating!"
Oh, that's right. Serai-san was attacked by a slime in the underwater dungeon during the Izu beach trip. At that time, the geeky high school girl Shark showed bravery and tried to grab and peel off the slime.
[―So, slimes are amorphous and hard to grasp, and their bodies have strong acidity during attacks. So trying to peel them off with bare hands is very dangerous.]
Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. This expert, dressed in a white coat and looking like a young doctor with glasses, doesn't seem like an ordinary physician with such detailed knowledge about monsters.
[Now, moving on, the damage caused by Beast Rats was also serious. We have invited a specialist in pest control to the studio.]
Hmm, Beast Rats, huh...
Beast Rats. It seems like the name was given overseas, meaning "beastly rats." I often saw them riding bikes in the city during the Dungeon Stampede.
Extremely ferocious, the size of a Chihuahua.
Their emaciated body has only the lower abdomen unusually bulging, giving a rather creepy appearance. Or rather, it's a healthy one from the disease rats in the Dungeon under the third layer of our refrigerator.
Their filthy yellow front teeth, serving as weapons, are as sharp as blades, and their movements are agile, making them very difficult to catch even when chasing. So, you need to skillfully knock them down with a counterattack.
For me, it would be a one-hit with acid mist, but for ordinary people without such skills, they would be a very tough opponent. While you can avoid approaching a slime if you notice it, the extremely aggressive nature of the Beast Rats makes them willing to confront even larger humans. Moreover, they often appear in groups.
Ah, look. The specialist in pest control is also cautioning to [stay away from dark places or places where rats might be hiding]."
"Hey, did you hear, Shizue? Sumire-sou is in big trouble!"
"Machi, what do you mean by that?"
Yeah, Serai-san, not content with yesterday's topic, has now started criticizing Nina-san's residence.
"Because... Sumire-sou is dark, and even the room doors are thin and made of wood, right? If it's monster rats, they can easily make a hole in those!"
"Seriously..."
Indeed, the issue with Beast Rats is a big problem. There's a fear that monsters generated from the Dungeon could breed on the surface.
Extermination activities are still ongoing. However, since a considerable number of Beast Rats have already appeared on the surface and scattered, there's no specification for extermination if they get into the sewers.
Really, there are only troublesome stories that give you a headache.
