Right after conquering the fourth floor of the beginner dungeon, we decided to take a week off.
Now that I won’t be able to use Level gacha for a while, I’m taking the opportunity to train. And so, like last time, I’ve been resting in a hot spring and going to a dojo to expand the range of my abilities.
After returning from that vacation, we decide not to go straight home, and instead stop by Unlucky Hall.
“Ah… It really is reassuring to return to my hometown after a while.”
I take a deep breath and feel emotional in front of the entrance, and Enki and Enril, who are at my feet, stretch and take a deep breath too. And then they start doing warm ups.
I also loosen up, and Aki giggles when she gets off the car.
“It has been a whole, but can you really call this your hometown?”
“But it does feel calming. It is quite a silent place due to the lack of people.”
“Shouta was seriously considering using his perks as an A+ to restrict entry into this dungeon. But almost no one comes here anyway.”
“To master, this is where it all began, but to most this is an abandoned dungeon.”
“It’s sad, but that’s reality. It’s convenient for me but… Doesn’t it feel like no one’s been here since the last time we were here?”
“It does.”
“My junior was complaining about dying of boredom.”
“Haha, there really is nothing going on here.”
There are a few stores near the station, but around the dungeon there’s only the association’s branch, buildings that were abandoned mid construction, and what remains of abandoned defensive walls.
It really is a desolate place.
“How long has it been since the last time we were here?”
“It was right before we traveled, so seventeen days ago.”
“That much… And before that?”
“Hum, fifteen?”
So there was a gap of over two weeks both times. Like before, there’s no sign that anyone was here, so I assume there’s lots of slimes. But when we put them together, it’s been over thirty days since it started…
“So I hit the one month mark while traveling.”
“And it has also been a month since I met you, Shouta.”
“That’s right, just one month. I feel like I’ve been with you for longer. You two, Ayane and Aira.”
“That’s how full this time has been.”
“Yes, it has been an honor.”
‘Goh!’
Enki, who is now being held by Ayane, raises its hand.
Of course, I haven’t forgotten about you two.
“Come to think of it, it’s Enki and Enril’s first time here.”
‘Goh.’
‘Popo~.’
“They’re really weak, so you can cut corners if you want. Ah, Enki, you can grow to a hundred seventy centimeters like me.”
‘Gogo.’
Enki receives metal powder from Aira, condenses it, and clads itself in it.
The skill is at level one, but Enki can easily change its body into iron. Also, Iron Sand Control includes the effect of Sand Control LvMAX, so it can control sand just as well as it did before. That’s why it still has the rock shield.
Name: Enki
Grade: Unique
Core: Golem core IV
Material: Iron and steel
Magic energy: 1600
Skills (8/8): Physical Resistance III, Super Strength III, Rampart IV, Shield Techniques Lv2, Automatic Recovery IV, Iron Sand Control Lv1, War Cry, Earth Shaking
‘Popo.’
Enki changes into its new combat mode, and Enril rests on its shoulder. This is way overkill for this dungeon.
“Okay. Let’s start hunting slimes…”
We leisurely enter Unlucky Hall, and Aki and Maki each grab one of my arms.
“Shouta, wait. Shouldn’t you take care of that first?”
“Yeah. I get that you’re impatient, but settle down, okay?”
“Eh? Ah… Yes. Sorry, I forgot.”
“You haven’t been in a dungeon in a week. You take down a lot of monsters every day, so once you step away for a while… I’m also a little eager.”
“Master, here.”
“Ou, thanks.”
I take a note from Aira and recite it.
“Use administrator key.”
【Confirming intention of the holder】
【Activating administrator key】
【Control nº777】
【Moving to dungeon core】
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
I open my eyes, and see the same white room where I was before. I touch the panel in front of me, and the dungeon core appears.
‘Welcome, administrator.’
“Hi. I have a few things to ask.”
‘Valid. Please do.’
“Are you aware of the existence of Level Gacha?”
‘Affirmative. It is a Phantasm grade skill that lies in this dungeon.’
“How many Phantasm grade skills exist in this world?”
‘Invalid. Administrative level too low.’
“Nuh. Is it possible to acquire Level Gacha again?”
‘Negative. Phantasm grade skills are one of a kind.’
“What? Then…”
Ayane’s plan to get Level Gacha to II has been shot down already. But I still want to see a Rainbow Slime again.
“So Level Gacha can’t be obtained again as long as the holder is alive?”
‘Affirmative. It can be obtained again after the holder’s death.’
“…All the more reason to keep it a secret.”
The method to get it is unclear, and I can’t imagine people will find out about this as long as they don’t hear about it from the dungeon core. I really should keep Level gacha a secret. My mother-in-law Miki is one thing, but my other mother-in-law Sakuya… No.
Then again, knowing her, it’s possible she already knows Phantasm grade skills are one of a kind. She probably already knows I got a skill in this dungeon, and hasn’t sent anyone here because she knows it’s a waste of time.
“Ahh… This might be more trouble than I thought.”
I need to get stronger, so it won’t be a problem even if people come after me.

Thanks for the treat.
Boys lock should be high enough to guarantee a rainbow alone every 100. And Enjoy and Enroll can quickly clear the whole room. So he should be able to farm them easily and directly.
