Saki’s level readily goes up, but since she’s of the first step class, Seiichi and the others seem to have higher SP and attribute values correction.
Once she reaches level 20, I think it would be better to have her change to a superior class at once.
Rare classes of the samurai branching seem likely to appear on her class change option, so I’m looking forward to it.
By the way, there seems to be step aptitude of class change depending on academic years.
First year students are in the first step, second year students are in the second step, and so on, so it’s easy to tell.
However, this is not the case for those who end up dropping out to the enjoy group, or those who are unlucky enough to end up being assigned to a trap class.
It seems that the percentage of dungeon group decreases as you move up in academic years.
We’re proceeding smoothly, so I don’t think there’s a need to rush.
Well, let’s conquer the dungeon for as long as time permits.
My 『Thunder God Apprentice』 smells awfully like a trap class, and my level is not rising at all.
I think I’ll be able to do a downgrade change to a first step class once I reach level 10, though.
「Hya, hya, hyaa!」
Thrusting her spear while raising spirited yet cute yells, Shizuka delivers the finishing blow to the half-dead goblins.
Reaping the life of a humanoid creature, it seems that her instinctive revulsion toward such an act has splendidly gone numb.
Regardless of what is said and done, Seiichi and Mai, who are thoroughly turning into monkeys, have already merged.
It doesn’t seem like they always go at it until the finish spurt each time, but they both look so happy, so retorting about it may be tactless of me.
I have a feeling that turning Mai into a battery anchor and Seiichi into a Peerless King for energy charging may be a good idea.
Letting Shizuka, who seems to be wishing for a reward, wait for a bit, I trace the tip of the beginner-use short spear I received from her with my finger.
「As expected the nicks are no joke. It will probably break soon.」
「Hau
 I’m sorry.」
「No, rather than the way you wield it, Shizuka, I think it’s the problem of the durability of the spear material. Saki going swoosh swoosh is the strange one.」
The frequency of use has decreased, but the blades of my kusarigamas, before the matter of it going dull, its metal is rusting.
The metal is being eaten, or rather the surface of the blade is gouged and becoming uneven.
When we log off from the dungeon and return to Rashƍmon, our equipment somehow reverts to how it used to be.
Even the dirty uniforms and panties are restored to the state they were in when we logged in.
Damage to our body, such as bruises and cuts, are also restored.
It’s just phantom pains, or rather painful feelings as if the damage still remains on the nerves.
Perhaps accumulating such strange damage, the equipment is also beginning to spoil in a strange way.
It is melting or rather becoming hollow.
It’s as if the elements of 『hard』 and 『sharp』 are wearing out.
I guess that’s ultimately just how a weapon designed for beginners is.
The purchasing department also sells magic item weapons and weapons made from monster materials, but they are quite on a different level so they are out of our reach.
I heard that if you bring in your own materials, you can have one created at the blacksmith shop on the student street outside, so taking a peek there may be worth trying.
The cheap uchigatana that Saki wields does not even have traces of blood on it, let alone nick in the blade.
I guess rather than cutting with the steel blade, she’s probably more like cutting using aura power or something.
Items dropped by goblins such as 『Little demon swords』, 『Little demon spear』 and so on, those that are more or less categorized as Little demon series and are in good condition, are stored into the Item Box one after another.
If Yuki-chan hasn’t wilfully thrown them away, a good number of them should have been accumulated.
There might be better equipment than the cheap stuff you can buy in the purchasing department.
Let’s try to sort them out for once when we get back.
As I fall into thought for a bit, Shizuka casts her eyes down with a gloom, as if feeling down.
Seiichi and Mai’s flirty love communication seems to have come to its conclusion, and they are preparing to switch to exploration mode.
「Shizuka.」
「Ahn
.」
Without erotic significance, I hug Shizuka from the front, tightly holding her in my arms.
Not in an atmospheric temperature manner, but the dungeon is dominated by chills that threaten to freeze our hearts and guts.
Sexual communication is the most optimal ritual to maintain the body’s potential.
Even if you take out the sexual element, I think skinship is absolutely necessary.
Holding up Shizuka, who is clinging to me with her hands tightly coiling around my back, I lightly rub her puffy buttocks with my hands that have slipped into her skirt.
If I overdo it, I may end up being unable to endure it, so I keep it in moderation, continuing to embrace her while savoring her chest armor that feels jiggly even through her body armor.

「Well, there’s also the option of requesting a creator-branching class wielder, though.」
「The so-called production type in online game, right?」
Putting the towel used to wipe off his wet hair around his neck, he lightly put on some cologne, which was unknown whose and was left in front of the mirror, around his neck.
Blowing his hair, which was lightly set backward with mousse during the day, with the dryer, he put his hand on his mouth and ascertained his breath.
Touma, who was not as interested in personal appearance as Seiichi, briskly wiped his hair with a bath towel and left it to dry naturally.
The bathrooms at Kurou-sou resembled the hot spring baths one would find in an old ryokan.
In fact, there was a hot water source on the academy grounds that was piped to each dormitory.
Touma poured a cup of cold tea from the water cooler set in the changing room and slurped it down at once.
「Considering it as a party, or rather as a club, they can be said to be essential members.」
「I think it doesn’t sound bad.」
「In a big club, they prefer to employ such exclusive creator classes. But they aren’t necessary for us yet, are they?」
In the bathroom, which time-wise was still early, there was no presence of other boarding students.
「I was thinking of asking the twin sisters to go fishing for us.」
「
 A hit-and-miss method, huh. I see, it’s not like we have to wait or anything. With your cheat skill, rather than looking and scouting someone who has acquired certain class, those who are still novice are easier to deal with.」
One’s class change options were largely influenced by their personal qualities.
However, even if it was not combat oriented, if they could guide the potential classes at will, it was safe to say that there was no one who was useless.
Sitting down on the bamboo bench and crossing his legs, Seiichi grinned.
「Very well. For now let’s move in the direction of creating a club. Solidifying the foothold and securing the harem members so that they won’t run away first before then putting in the utmost effort to conquering the dungeon.」
「
 Do you want it, a harem, I mean?」
「No, even if you show such a reluctant face. It’s already too late, isn’t it? In your case, Touma, Shizuka seems to be managing it, after all.」
For Seiichi, who fundamentally preferred to associate in a casual and future trouble-free manner, all he could say was that Touma, who was thoroughly attended by those he had laid a hand on, had a harem preference.
