Dungeon Stampede 2.0 The Bug King

“What do you want to ask?!! (Zooooom!)”

“Sometimes I answer, sometimes I don't!! (Strike a pose!)”

“Well... I’m reckless and unstoppable!! (Nervous…!)”

“We are the Dungeon Savers, nice to meet ya!”

[[[Boom!!!]]]

“““Waaaaaah!!! (Clap clap clap…)”””

(Hmm, nailed it…)

As we struck our poses, the kids’ applause and their intense stares rained down on us.

Huh, what are we doing, you ask? Well, hold on a second. Let me explain in order.

This morning, we went out to clear the monsters around the apartment as usual. But with the Dungeon Stampede already past its midpoint, the dungeon wasn’t spitting out as many monsters anymore.

Not that we’d want it to keep going forever, but the lack of monsters irritated Serai-san.

[Come on! There’s barely any! I haven’t even had my fill of fighting yet!]

Yep, after gaining dungeon power and becoming superhuman, Serai-san was overwhelmed by her own strength, hungry for more enemies. Basically, she just wanted to go wild, so she wandered around, hunting monsters like crazy.

Then, after a longer-than-usual patrol, we returned to the apartment to find a bunch of kids with their parents waiting at the entrance.

Hmm, from the kids' perspective, since the monsters spilling out onto the streets were real, we who fought them also looked like real heroes.

And to top it off, one of those heroes was a quiet-looking big sister living in the same apartment as them.

Whoa, is there a more heart-pounding scenario? Well, maybe there is… Back in the post-war growth period, there was apparently a genre of “local big sister magical girls.”

But anyway, the kids had watched us fight monsters from their apartment windows and thought, “Whoa, real heroes do exist!!” Then they begged their parents to bring them to meet us.

So with all these kids gathered around, we thought, “How about we put on a little skit for them?”

“Hey, hey! Can I become like you, onee-chan?”

“Sure, you can! Just eat your veggies and get lots of sleep.”

Naturally, Ruu was a huge hit. Yep, the idea that someone close to you is actually special seems to be timeless.

“Ruu-chan’s super popular, huh?”

“Yeah, she’s kind. Easy for the kids to warm up to.”

“Onee-chan, you’ve got big boobies! Hey, hey, are you stuffing them with something?”

“They’re real, okay! Why would you ask that, geez!”

On the other hand, Serai-san was a hit with the cheeky brats. Yep, I won’t say a word about that. Anyway, that’s how the morning went.

.....

“You’re heading out now?”

“Yeah, can’t be too late.”

“Be careful, Coach…”

“Thanks, Ruu. I’ll be cautious.”

Helping with the food distribution made it past 10 AM, but if I don’t head out soon, I’ll fall further behind. That’s right, I’m heading to the super bathhouse where Tunami-san is probably waiting. If I leave her alone, there’s a chance Shark will go berserk and take off.

So, I have to go.

“Here, Egetsu-san. Take this.”

“This is a mithril shoehorn... Are you sure?”

“Even for me, the third round is rough. Since I can’t join, use this instead.”

“Got it, I’ll make good use of it.”

I took the Mithril shoehorn from Serai-san.

“Well then, be careful... There’re still areas with lots of monsters, it seems.”

“Yeah, I’ll be back soon.”

“““Take care!!”””

And so, with my loved ones sending me off, I began my unexpected third journey in the Dungeon Stampede.

But not long after, the situation Nina-san feared came to pass.

Standing in my way was a massive monster army. It looked like the final episode of a show where all the resurrected monsters gather. They all attacked at once.

“But… I won’t flinch. In fact, I was just looking to go wild. Let me show you… my current strength!! Hrrraaah!!”

Unleash your aura! The path is always in my heart!! Mental fortitude at full throttle!! Now… let your soul roar with life!!

““Roooaaaarrr!!””

““Grrrooooo!!””

Hah! That attack won’t work!! Not against me and my Regret-Inducing Dance!!

Ches! Ches! Cheeees!! Burn!! Roar!! Ignite your soul with burning passion!! The fists I throw become scorching bullets of light, piercing through any enemy!!

“Muuooooooaaahhhhhh!!!”

[[[Boooom!!!]]]

The monstrous Piper bug man, cloaked in explosive energy, lit his red eyes with fury and soared through the air.

*************！ 

*****！

***！！ 

****！！！！！

“Gyaaakikikikikii…!! Keeeeeeeeen!!”

[[[Boom boom boom boom boom…! CueoooooOOOOOO!!!]]]

The super-piper bug man, now cloaked in even more explosive energy, flew into the air in a terrifying spectacle.

[[[Thud! Bang bang baaaang!!!]]]

……

“Fsshhhrrr…!”

Did you see that…? Anyone who dares stand before me… turns to dust…
