A few days has passed since we came to this world.\nThe girls, who were reluctant about killing demons at first, seem to have also gotten used to it by now.
"Gyaa! B- blood!"
Correction, we've gotten used to defeating demons with magic. It seems that we are still unable to cut down the demons because of the blood. I don't know... it's not a secret that I thought it would be difficult to get used to it.
Incidentally, the blood of demons differ depending on the race but this time it was red, like us humans.
"Are you okay?
"Ah! Yuuki-kun! Un, I'm fine now."
Seiran said with a slightly forced smile. Good grief, you don't have to act so tough.
"Don't overdo it"
"I guess you found out, but I still don't want to cause trouble for you!"
This time, she replied with an unclouded smile.
"... I see"
I was bit embarrassed and turned away.
"Look, it's okay to get all lovey dovey, but we're going to fight the dungeon boss now. Get your yourselves ready."
"Ah, yes"
We are now in the dungeon for our first practical training session and have been progressing little by little so far.
"We've been trying to get to the bottom of this dungeon for a while now. I'm tired..."
I agreed with Tsuyoshi.\nThey say that dungeons are always growing, and this one has already stopped. The only way to to do this is to destroy the dungeon core in the deepest part of the dungeon. However, even if you destroy the dungeon core, the dungeon will still function and demons, chests, etc would still spawn.
Apparently, treasure chests are randomly generated in the dungeon. We've found three treasure chests so far containing daggers, potions, and other items.
We are proud of the fact that we have gotten stronger after the fights.\n

It is certainly very different than when I first came to this world. However, according to Zorodia-san, its not enough. I need to get stronger...

Tsuyoshi is kind of a...... close ranged, hand to hand combat specialist.
Seiran specializes in magic, so she has low HP. She uses a staff as her main weapon to increase the power of her magic. Sometimes, she uses it to hit people when she runs out of mana. It seems like an uncharacteristic behavior for a wizard, but it's apparently the right thing to do in that situation.
"Here we are"
While I was thinking, we arrived at the boss's room. The door in front of me was more intimidating than any other floor boss's door that I've seen. I gulped.
"This is the deepest part of the dungeon, the door to the 40th floor's boss... Shall we go in?"
He asked with a provocative look in his eyes. The answer has already been decided.
"Of course!"
I'm not sure whether he was satisfied with that answer, but Zorodia-san focused his gaze back to the door.
"Then let's open it."
When Zorodia-san touched the door, it opened by itself. This was a sight I had seen many times on my way here.
"Let's go"
We quietly stepped into the room.\nWith a screech, the door closed. It was pitch black for a moment but immediately, the lights came on and the whole room was illuminated.
"Oohh..."
This room was clearly different from the previous floor boss's rooms, with detailed decorations giving off a sense of long history.
"It's coming!"
Zorodia-san's voice directed my attention to the middle of the room. There was a magic circle larger than the previous one, shining with a pale blue glow.
The magic circle became brighter and the boss appeared.
"It can't be... an Earth Dragon?"
"Earth Dragon?"
The demon in front of me had 4 legs and didn't look like a dragon in any flattering way. It looked more like a... lizard?
"While it is indeed a dragon, it's the weakest one. You guys should be able to defeat it."
If Zorodia-san says so, it must be true. I'll do it! \nI was about to rush into the room, but my intuition told me it was dangerous.\nAt that moment, the earth dragon opened its mouth and I was able to see the magic gathering inside.
"... tsk! Yui!"
"I know!"
This attack is probably a breath. Yui is a barrier magic user, so she should be able to defend us against it.
"My magic power! Be an impenetrable wall that blocks all attacks from the enemy before us! <b>[Barrier]</b>"
As Yui chanted the incantation, a huge pale blue wall appeared in front of us.
Gwooooo!!
\nThe earth dragon finally let out a breath, but it couldn't break Yui's barrier.
"Tsuyoshi!
"Ou!"
Tsuyoshi and I both attacked the Earth Dragon.
"Thunder! Become a lance that pierces all and strikes down our enemies! <b>[Lightning Lance]"</b>
Seiran chants a spell. The reason it is different from Yui's is because there are no fixed incantations in this world. She makes up her own that she can easily think of.
She releases her magic and it pierces one of the dragon's eyes.
Guaaaah!
The earth dragon writhed in pain and flailed.
"Tsuyoshi!
"I know!"
Tsuyoshi dove under the Earth Dragon's head and landed an uppercut from there.
Gruaaaaa!
The dragon staggered and left an opening for a moment. I flew over and aimed for its neck.
"Oraa!!"
I thought I would be met with resistance, but the blade easily dug in.
"Lightning bolttt!"
I only said the name of the spell because it's almost the same as the one I used in the game. Therefore, I could visualize it well. All you need is the image of the spell in your mind in order to release magic.
Electricity ran through my sword and into the Earth Dragon's body.
Gruaaaaaa!
It starts to flail, but I didn't move away. The Earth Dragon began to resist less and less, until it finally fell to its knees and collapsed.
"Fuuu..."
I managed to defeat it...
"That was amazing, Yuuki-kun!"
Seiran came running over and hugged me.
"Whoa, that was dangerous."
"It's fine"
Not at all... but I don't know if I would do this again.
"As expected of you"
Said Zorodia-san from the bottom of his heart and with a happy expression on his face
"It's thanks to your assistance, Zorodia-san"
"No, no, it was your efforts that brought us this far. Now, let's go back to the castle and get some rest for today."
"""""Yes!"""""
I stored the corpse of the earth dragon in my item box.\nThen I touched the transference crystal at the back of the room and went home.
When we arrived at the castle, we took a bath to wash off the sweat and ate the food...... which didn't taste good.
"Haa... I miss Japanese food."
We all thought so but no one here, not even the teacher, knew how to make the dishes in detail. No, we more or less knew a little about how to make it, but we don't know the ingredients. Well, even if I knew, I doubt I could do it......
I'll definitely learn how to make Japanese food when I get back.\nWith that thought in mind, I fell asleep.

Sorry for the late update! My workload spiked up again, but hopefully you're not too mad since I released a chapter on Sunday.
Btw, if you were confused about what the Shrinking Ground in Yuuki's list of skills are, here's what happened:
縮地 (shukuchi) literally means "shrinking the earth." It's a skill where people can close the distance in an instant. I wasn't sure whether to translate it as teleportion, great speed, or spatial magic. I asked someone on discord for help, but that person didn't really know either. I just left it as Shrinking Ground.
