Chapter 5 [The Dungeons and Dungeon Monsters]
Hello again. It's Nagayuki Karasumaru, the former human.
After a while of emotional instability, I decided to face the inevitable and chose to live positively.
Well, transitioning to a Dungeon Freak, it's not something that happens every day. Let's rejoice in the fact that we've had a rare experience... Not that I wished for it.
Leaving aside the Dungeon Freak thing, considering the appraisal results mentioning "Dungeon," this cave should be a dungeon, right?
But when you hear "dungeon," you imagine a complex, labyrinthine structure with layers upon layers, a fortress that's hard to conquer. Yet, this place is just a nearly straight cave, around two hundred meters at best.
... Is this really a dungeon?
True, the descriptions of the slimes do mention Dungeon Monsters...
Oh, now that I think about it, their individual names were all "None." Names are probably necessary.
Alright, let's name them. Slime will be "Rai," skink will be "Skin," let's go with "Keen" for the slater, and since hypha is the English term for fungus strands, let's name it "Hypha."
Names should be easy to read and call. How many times have I been told my name, Nagayuki Karasumaru, is "hard to read"? I didn't even choose it. Anyway, decision made!
As soon as I decided, there was a strange sensation, like a connection between me and the Dungeon Monsters, and it felt like I got stronger or something. In a hurry, I reappraised the monsters.
