Chapter 127 – Double Play
Three days have already passed since I entered the labyrinth.
Even though Jun spent most of his time imagining different ways to use the new magic, the exploration of the labyrinth proceeded steadily.
It was thanks to her wives stepping forward and telling her to focus on her imagination.
All Jun had to do was show the way, put up a barrier when the battle started, and remove it when the battle ended to continue guiding the way.
His wives took care of all other tasks, such as fighting, camping, and eating.
‘I feel a little guilty because I feel like I’ve become a pillar, but I guess it’s okay because it’s what the wives want.’
After masturbating, Jun stopped imagining for a moment and looked at his wives working hard to support him.
“Uryaaaaa!!!”
Quad deuk!
Fortuna (in human mode) burst into the midst of the monsters and swung her hammer in all directions, letting out a lively roar.
The skeletons were shattered by the enormous power contained in the hammer and had to swim in the air.
“How is it that there is no end to cleaning up so many dirty things?”
Good luck! Sigh! Wedge! Coogung!
Dohwa (human mode) covered her mouth with her fan and glared at the monsters with disdain, then closed her eyes in disgust and pointed at them.
The pink birds that were flying around her as if guarding her all spewed out various attributes and attacked them.
“Now I want to explode things other than bones and pieces of cloth.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rebecca, who had been bursting with excitement until yesterday, looked very bored as if she had never done so, and pulled the revolver in both hands.
At first glance, it seemed like the shots were being fired roughly, but every single bullet hit the monsters’ vital points.
Jun thought as he tried to look away from Rebecca’s gun, which for some reason caught his attention.
Her wives seem very bored.
‘Well, it has to be that way.’
Since the wives’ level was so high, the monsters that appeared on the 5th floor were not even an opponent, but a simple check.
Slaughtering was fun for a day or two, but if it continued longer than that, it would just be a hassle.
‘Should I just skip it?’
They wanted to climb to a higher floor as soon as possible.
It was the same thing for June.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter if the monsters are weak, but the amount of money earned from by-products, gathering, and requests was too small.
It was a very worrying situation for the head of the household who was responsible for the livelihood of his family.
‘I still have a lot saved up, but that doesn’t mean I can be complacent.’
This is because the money saved is gradually but clearly decreasing due to expenses that are not small, such as the expensive cost of living in Remumuni, the family’s excessively good appetite, and various consumables including ingredients for bombs.
Naturally, my bank account balance came to mind.
As a result, I felt anxious and urged them to bring their wives into Dowonhyang and then teleport to the entrance to the next floor.
But Jun shook his head and forced the impulse to subside.
Because it shouldn’t have been that way.
Are you trying to praise his choice?
Some time after the battle, the entrance to the next floor welcomed Jun and his wives.
“Just as I heard, the pattern on the door looks different.”
Jun muttered as he carefully examined the entrance in front of him.
A gate to hell created by an artist in a past life.
The entrance door we encountered before was very similar to that, and the overall appearance of the entrance door in front of us now was also very similar to that.
However, the pattern engraved in the center of the door was different.
In the middle of the entrance in front of me was the head of a horned monster, like something used to mark a boss room in a game.
“Can I get a taste of your hand this time?”
“I think it would be impossible.”
“No matter how bossy he is, he won’t be able to withstand her sister’s blow.”
In fact, there was a boss behind the door in front of us.
In the Labyrinth – Demon Castle, there was a boss every five floors, and you had to catch him to advance to the next floor.
It could be said to be a kind of gatekeeper.
Therefore, the boss mob was significantly stronger than the monsters that appeared on the same floor.
The boss mob on the 5th floor has a particularly strong side and is considered an object of fear by beginner adventurers who have just become adventurers.
“Chii~. It’s boring. Jun, let’s finish this quickly and go to the next floor. Huh?”
“Okay, let’s do it.”
It was a monster that was nothing special to Jun and his wives.
“Sweetheart, just in case, I’m not going to get involved in this boss fight. “You know why, right?”
“Yes, I know.”
After being pampered by Fortuna and nodding to Rebecca’s notice, Jun carefully opened the entrance door to the next floor.
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Instead of opening it, he opened the entrance to Dowonhyang and took out a musket from inside.
“Jun, why are you suddenly bringing that up? “I bought it and just kept it there.”
“I can’t believe you kept it. That’s not true.”
“Then have you ever written it?”
Jun couldn’t bear to say anything.
In fact, as Fortuna said, he has never used it since he tested it before purchasing it.
“Why on earth did you buy it?”
“I’m sorry to say this, but it seems like a wasteland that only takes up space.”
Fortuna and Dohwa look at the musket with cold eyes.
It seemed like the musket would be destroyed or thrown away at any moment.
Jun said, hugging the musket tightly.
“Yeah, but how can I not buy this and just pass by?”
The old-fashioned charm of the musket was something that men could never ignore.
It wasn’t a lie to avoid a situation; in fact, muskets were one of the most popular products at weapon stores.
The store owner said that if you put it in the window, male adventurers passing by will come in and buy it one by one. It is a very useful item.
Tatsu also said that he bought it even though he does not engage in long-distance combat at all.
It is said that he did not give in even though Emily, who was with him at the time of the purchase, mercilessly slapped her on the back asking why he was buying it.
I dare say that a musket was a man’s essential item.
“Ugh. Then take good care of yourself. “Don’t leave it to Dohwa.”
Puck!
“Oops! Ah, I understand.”
Fortuna’s powerful back smash made Jun gasp and nod her head with difficulty.
Didn’t all men who bought Mosquit go through the same process just now? And he thought after that.
“It seems like the inside of a company is difficult to understand.”
“I agree.”
Rebecca nodded her head and agreed with Dohwa’s words.
Jun felt a little bad about that.
I understand what Dohwa said, but Rebecca, who adds more and never less, agrees with that… It was a bit much.
“So what are you going to do with it?”
As she was contemplating what to say to her, Fortuna clung to her back and asked another question.
Jun calmed down his frustration at the soft touch on his back and answered her question.
“While I was thinking about how to use magic, a few techniques that I had failed in the past came to mind.”
“Yes? Are there any technologies that have failed even with Realize?”
“Huh. Thanks to Realize, I was able to successfully activate it with Auger, but it was not efficient, so I just left it as is.”
Realize is an all-purpose tool, but its effectiveness varies greatly depending on the situation.
Just as it is easier and faster to use a cleaning tool than to clean a room with your bare hands, when activating Realize, the efficiency increases when conditions are met rather than just activating it.
“There was a technology that used electricity to shoot iron pieces at tremendous speed. All I needed was a piece of iron and I knew the basics, so I thought it would be a pretty useful skill.”
But it wasn’t.
First of all, it was successful, but since the finger was used as a gun barrel, the time to apply force was short, so the power was not as strong as expected, and too much mana was needed to satisfy the conditions, such as amplifying the body’s electricity and strengthening the finger to handle that electricity.
So even though it was a technology I really wanted to use, I kept it buried,
“This is what got me thinking when I saw Rebecca use her gun.”
Jun removed the head of the bullet he took out from Dowonhyang, shook off the gunpowder inside, and put it back on her head.
Then he inserted a bullet into the musket’s mouth.
For reference, the muskets of this world were breech-loading, with bullets put behind the muzzle.
“I thought I could use it if I gave up my dream a little.”
Electricity was added to the musket and bullets through Realize. Subsequently, guns, bullets, and electricity were all strengthened using aurors.
Menacing electricity bounced from the musket, but Jun did not stop granting electricity and aura.
It’s a joke!!!
“Oh, oh!”
“It looks very dangerous.”
“That’s great. It’s like I’m aiming at lightning.”
The wives who were watching the series of processes from the side started to express their exclamation with sparkling eyes.
This meant that the technology seemed plausible.
However, Jun was not very satisfied.
‘I wanted to shoot her with just my fingers like a middle school girl.’
His disappointment was short-lived as he gathered himself together and put his finger on the trigger.
He himself is the head of his family and takes responsibility for it. For his family, he had to pursue reality rather than romance.
“Women, please open the door for me.”
“Yes!”
Fortuna, excited to see new technology, quickly opened the door to the boss room.
Coogung!
When the door opened with a dull sound enough for one person to pass through, Jun kicked the ground and ran into the boss room.
The moment the silhouette in the room stood up in a huff due to his quick actions,
Semi-Original-Railgun
Perfect!
June pulled the trigger.
The loaded ball struck the bullet.
Quad deuk! Wedge!
At the same time as the light flashed from the muzzle, the sound of something breaking and the sound of the air splitting were heard one after another.
I was puzzled by the sound that seemed to have changed in order and reopened my eyes, which had been reflexively closed by the light.
‘Where did they go?’
Empty pupils came into Jun’s eyes.
There was definitely something there, but it disappeared. It was like a ghost crying.
