Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Stuff came up again. Aiming for next bulk release of 6 chapters Fri~Sun.

Year 7447, Month 6, Day 29

After returning the horseshoes to the leather bag and tying the mouth shut I left them to Zulu.

However, it hurts that I wasn't able to properly identify things in regards ot the giant stag beetles.

Whether that confusion attack is a spell or special skill.

According to Miduchi, most likely it has the special skill {Confusion} but supposedly the one she knew about was just a normal(?) {Amber.Goliath} without the {Great} attached so it's fine to think that Ralpha was hit with the same special skill but she can't say anything at all in my case. Though that's the case, I ended up like that because I saw the those complex and shining compound eyes so it's easy to guess that wasn't a spell but a special skill.

I remembered that experience while trying to explain what kind of situation it was and started to feel sick again. That was seriously an unpleasant experience.

It seems like it'll take a reasonable amount of time for the net entangled with the corpse covered in yellow body fluids and green blood but I can tell quite a bit of it can still be used so we'll obviously recover it. The corpse itself has other uses before Ralpha changes it to water to get rid of it.

We'll test out hitting the corpse with attack spells. Particularly confirming the strength of the sturdy looking parts of it's carapace and figuring out where the weaknesses are in it's joints is necessary.

We all tried out various things in line with Miduchi's explanation. It's supposedly an uncommon monster which you never know if you'll see it once in every ten years at her hometown. Therefore, she's only ever heard stories about it but didn't have any experience directly fighting against one. There's a lot of points that need to be confirmed.

The result of that was we determined that while the sturdy looking surface of the carapace was impossible but if you land a direct hit on the joints then even Arbalest class attack spells can deal plenty of damage. Even when it comes to the carapace portion if you use Ballista class then it pierces through pretty well so we found out that we can expect a reasonable amount of power from it. However, in regards to the back, elbows, and knees that looked the hardest at the very least power over the heavy catapult class is necessary.

Furthermore, when it came to the rifle other than the hardest portions it was able to pierce through the carapace no matter where it hit. That means we can expect the penetration power of the {Stone Heavy Catapult} class from the rifles. Although, it's something that I realized after using it up until now but if the rifle hits a bad spot the damage it deals is pretty low. It's not particularly limited ot just the {Amber.Goliath} but even against ogres and trolls the larger their bodies are the lower the damage is when it hits a place other than their vital points.

Though the same goes for bows as well.

The only exception is when you land a direct hit with a sword. Only at times like that does the damage not decrease but actually increases. Whenever Zulu swings down the bastard sword that he normally uses with one-hand with both of his hands the damage increases by quite a bit. Of course even if he uses it with one-hand if he lands a direct hit the damage increases by a bit. This goes the same for Toris's sword and my long sword when I take out of the bayonet as well.

However, in the case that I use it while it's still a part of the bayonet or in the case of spears and halberds it seems to do the same damage as when up against normally sized monsters up to the same size as people. Also, even if they're both swords when it comes to Bel's shortsword or Zenom and Ralpha's magic axes even if they land a direct hit the damage seems a bit lower.

Also, what could considered the most abnormal is Miduchi's scimitar, as long as she lands a direct hit that isn't at a half-assed angle on the neck or limbs then regardless of the damage it will cleanly cut it off. It seems the special effect {Energy.Drain} is working at those times.

Other than that, both the magic stones from the {Great.Underground.Vodyanoy} had an identify value of close to 800,000. If we sell both of them then it should be over 11,000,000 Z. Something like selling them for 5,500,000 Z a piece, I'm sure magic tool shop Danhiru can't afford to deal in them. If we want to sell them then I'll probably have to take them into the magic tool shop Splendor in the capital. Well, I have no intention of selling them for the time being though.

By the way, we weren't able to find any high quality equipment like the ones the Minotaurs use.

However, I noticed that the leather in the leather bag that the horseshoes were in was double-layered.

After flipping it inside out and there was a complex pattern carved on the inside of similar to the ones on all of the equipment we've found up until now, if we were to think of this side as the surface then it could be considered quite the high quality leather bag. In order to imprint this intricate and complex of a pattern into such a thin piece of leather it should require quite a high level of technique.

After using {Identify} it came up as {Double.Tool.Bag}. The materials are supposedly sheepskin(judging from the sensation it should be the original exterior) and {Abyssal.Ogre.Leather}(the side with the pattern on it).

And then right now we're finally taking a break in the teleport crystal room of the 10th floor.

Now then, I wonder what we should do next.

We decided to discuss our plans from here on out.

The conclusion we came to was that the next time when we encounter the {Amber.Goliath} from the outside, when it either discovers or recognizes us and the the room brightens up along with the cage of lightning bolts appearing there's no other choice than to try using some kind of magic. If it's possible to use magic just like this time then we can blow the giant stag beetles away and kill them with attack spells before they even get close to us.

It would be fine to just aim carefully with the rifle as well. It seems fine as long as you don't look at both of it's compound eyes from a considerably close distance at the same time after all.
