Chapter 418: Meat Lover Trio are Ecstatic
Gumihou: 
 well, that escalated. Here’s the aftermath, nice and realistic.
We rested all night.
At dawn, or what passes as dawn here, we made our way back to the heavy Boss Room door.
“Let’s go,” said Fer as he pushed the door open with his forepaw.
“Ugh, 12 of them
”
[5a]
““Fuhahahah! The chances of getting a meat Drop has just risen!””
“”Meat~!””
Yeah, worrying about the potential enemy is clearly pointless. Right now, each of these Minotaurs might as well be a scratch card

“Bumoooooo!!”
The Gigantic Minotaurs have noticed us and were now thumping towards our direction, roaring and waving their weapons about. It was like watching one of those large monster movies

I can’t help the shaking in my legs. I don’t care how many times I’ve witnessed my familiars destroy these monsters. It’s not like I had personally done anything noteworthy!
“Let us take care of this quickly. Dora, you take four on the right, Sui, you get four on the left. I’ll take the ones in the centre.”
“”Ou!””
“”Yes~~!””
Dogoonn, dogooonnn

Thunder appeared out of nowhere and struck the monsters in the centre, turning them into black crisps.
Dosu! Dosu! Dosu! Dosu!
Blazing Bullets, basically fire-covered rocks, slammed through the stomachs of the four on the right.
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Of the four on the left, their chests suddenly opened up as Acid Bullets started to melt them up from the inside

“Hmm, acceptable speed.”
“”Of course! Let’s check out the Drops!””
“”Meaty~ Meaty~””
“Excellent, looks like we managed to get three pieces of meat from them. Nice odds, we got lucky.”
“
 
” as expected, my familiars were only interested in the meat Drops.
However, there was more than just meat here.
Among the usual axe, magic stone, skin, horn, more magic stones

“Hm? This is
?”
It was a large, double-edged sword with a longer than usual handle, obviously made for a two-handed grip, for humans anyway. Although the sword was large, it was still too small for a Gigantic Minotaur.
It was not until I had picked it up that I finally recognised it.
“Hey, isn’t this the sword used by one of the Adventurers from that other party on this floor?”
“Looks like it,” said Fer casually.
“I wonder why it’s here
” [9] I looked around the room and froze. [5b]
[9]
Aside from the bastard sword, there was a smaller sword and an axe.
“The team earlier had probably been annihilated,” said Fer. “That sword belongs to the strongest one in the group. If he’s dead, the rest must be too.”
“I- I see
 So, I-I am holding a dead person’s
 sword? Wait, why hasn’t the dungeon absorbed it?”
“Mu, it’s probably made with some special metal or material, dungeons have a harder time absorbing non-organic matter.”
“I-is that so
” I looked around the fallen weapons scattered among the monster Drops. “Even the strongest party is destroyed just like that
”
“This is the dungeon, these things happen.”
““Those who enter the dungeon must resolve to kill or be killed,”” said Dora-chan wisely.
“Eh, if that’s the case. I-”
““Master is different, of course. You have us!!””
“Umu, that’s right. You have the luxury to be weak. We will not let you die.”
“You guys
” I am beginning to feel rather emotional.
“If you die, our food supply would be cut off.”
“”Yeah, that would be tragic, I haven’t been eating your food for even a year yet.””
“
 I was wrong to feel touched.”
[9]
“”Hahah, that was a joke! A joke! I have great fun travelling with you guys! Fer, Sui, you guys feel the same, right? Right?””
“Umu, I supposed it’s more interesting than travelling alone.”
“”Sui likes being with everyone~””
“Humph, that’s what you all say, but you’re all after me for food,” I sniffed.
“”Well, travelling wouldn’t be half as fun or interesting without Master’s food, so Master is the best!”” Dora-chan said as he patted me on my shoulder.
Humph, looks like this little dragon knows how to coax people. Feeling a little better, I said, “What do you think we should do with these?”
The two swords and axe looked very lonely on the floor.
“Mu, I suppose you could take them.”
“”They’d be absorbed by the dungeon if you leave them here anyway,”” said Dora-chan with a shrug.
“That’s true. I supposed I could turn them over to the Adventurer’s Guild and let the authorities know what happened to these guys
”
Thus, we collected the weapons along with the Drops and made our way to the 38th floor

“Bumoooooo!!!”
It was a very familiar roar.
“Kukuku, looks like we got lucky.”
“”Haha, indeed. I bet it’s thanks to our good deed!””
“”Meaty~ meaty~!””
Indeed, it was the roar of a Gigantic Minotaur.
“Alright, time to hunt!”
“”Hyahaha!””
“”Meaty~!””
As expected, the Meat Lover Trio were ecstatic to find ourselves being attacked by even more Gigantic Minotaurs. By the time we reached the Boss Room, we managed to collect even more meat than we had from the previous floor.
“Well, I don’t think we’ll have a shortage of Minotaur meat for a good while
”

[5] Delete Repetitive or Pointless Information
 starting to delete pointless scenes now
[a] Deleted Mukouda asking his familiars if they could take on the Boss Room monsters. Since, you know, he personally witness how they trashed those monsters with his own eyes? Several times?
[b] Deleted ‘Boy, you’re dumb moments’ for Mukouda since his greatest sin is cowardice, not stupidity
[6] Additional Information for Aesthetic Purpose
[7] Add Dialogue Tag
[8] Creative Licence Taken – add scratch card joke. Since [5a] is probably there as a comedic moment.
[9] Give Mukouda back his brain. [5b] really isn’t fair, since it was mostly there for comedic purposes. Change it to dramatic realisation instead.
