A cute little animal that you have fought many times in the pseudo dungeon.
Dungeon monsters change their appearance to lure people into a false sense of security.
A normal person would be so charmed that they would accidentally expose their weakness, but Akatani Makoto cannot be fooled no matter how charming he is.
"Judging from its size, it's a second-floor dungeon monster. It's no match for me."
It is known that the deeper you go into a dungeon, the more powerful the monsters that appear. At the same time, you can roughly judge the fighting power of each level.
It seemed to me that the Pomeranian on the second floor of the pseudo dungeon and the Shiba Inu on the second floor of the natural dungeon had almost the same athletic performance and attacking abilities.
"I never thought my experience hunting Pome would come in handy. Although, experience points are still sucked up by the skill tree."
Well, that's fine too.
According to Treecats, they eat experience points and produce an abnormal substance called a "Skill Seed", and we know that this is beneficial.
Get plenty of nutrition and grow big, skill tree.
"Being dragged into a dungeon must be an abnormal phenomenon. Let's find a way out."
With the iron ball in hand, I began to walk through the dungeon.
While walking, I often came across Shiba Inu.
I fire the iron ball, crushing the Shiba Inu and collecting experience points.
After fighting many times, I had a devilish idea that "If I throw this with my bare hands, I might be able to save MP," so I tried throwing it with my bare hands.
As a result, the iron ball I threw didn't hit the Shiba Inu.
Wild pitch after wild pitch.
Throwing is an activity that requires great skill.
Not everyone can pitch.
It is an extremely difficult task to hit a moving Shiba Inu with it.
After I threw the ball, I noticed that the Shiba Inu seemed to brace itself and prepare to dodge the ball as soon as I raised it.
The reason why my "Throw" and "Throw with Muscle Strength" attacks hit so often was because they were fired at top speed without any preparatory movement, and because of the accuracy with which they flew exactly where I intended.
"Flying is a great thing."
"Shiva! --Kyaaaah!"
━━A little while later
I walked for quite some time but couldn't find the exit.
I feel like I'm going around and around in circles within the hierarchy.
Well, it just feels like I'm moving, but I'm not actually moving around. It's the Hansel and Gretel method. I periodically slam an iron ball against the wall I've walked on, leaving a mark and marking the places I've passed. So I know I'm not walking in the same place.
I climbed stairs, went down ladders, came out into slightly larger rooms, and went through slightly narrower rooms, fighting the dungeon Shiba Inu many times along the way.
I wonder how long I've been doing this.
I'm starting to feel tired.
I lay down in what looked like a secret passageway under the stairs that I had found earlier.
I'll get some sleep. I've probably been moving around a lot more than I thought.
If you fight a Shiba Inu in this condition, you will eventually make a mistake and be killed.
━━
I wonder how long I slept.
I'm no longer sleepy. I'm no longer tired.
I just felt extremely hungry and thirsty.

Is this enough to fight?
The point missions have also been updated.
Maybe he'd been lost in the dungeon for more than a day?
Seriously. No wonder I'm tired and hungry.
"For now, let's do some point collecting."

After making sure there were no signs of Shiba Inu around, I turned to look at the skill tree.

『Sixth Sense』 is a usage restricted type.
If you can only use it once per day, then having two skills means you can use it twice per day.
The same goes for explosiveness. If it seems like it could be useful, try to increase the number of them.
"I guess I could try it out just once."
I concentrated my mind and realized the meaning of the skill 『Reflexes』.
I don't know when to use it to activate it, what effect it would have, or if it was because I was familiar with the skill, or if the skill tree was easy to navigate, but I intuitively knew what I needed to do.
Strike the air quickly with your fist.
It was just a swing. Nothing was going to happen.
Events change when skill effects are added.
The initial speed of the fist increased dramatically, pushing the air out, and a shock wave was generated just by that. Sharpness. Indeed, even with the same movement, the result changes depending on whether there is sharpness or not.
That's deep. And your explosiveness is strong, isn't it?
I just realized that if I get the agility stat, I can do the same thing...If my speed increases, I can get instantaneous speed too, right?
It's much more powerful to use muscle power to throw the ball than to simply push the air out. I'd like to use this explosive force in a more effective way.
At the moment, the only things I can think of would be to add sharpness to direct attacks with bare hands, or to add the option to dodge attacks that normally cannot be avoided.
"Well, I guess I'll think about my reflexes later. Now, my daily routine is done, but… how can I get to the exit…?"
I started walking aimlessly again.
Hoping that there is an exit to the dungeon up ahead.
Zugon. I heard a noise upstairs. It was loud. It even felt like the dungeon was shaking.
Immediately afterwards, the ceiling began to collapse. Since I happened to be walking in a wide space with a high ceiling, I was able to avoid it by taking about 10 steps backwards.
That's dangerous, that's dangerous.
What do you mean?
Seeing that the ceiling had finished collapsing, I approached the rubble.
Something may have fallen.
"Hiiiii, I'm so sorry!"
As I was watching out for a Shiba Inu that was about to jump out from behind something, I heard a human voice.
It's a girl's voice. It sounds familiar. It's a student. There are other students besides me.
I looked through the rubble, searching for the owner of the voice and coming from the pathetic apology.
