Day 58 – Daytime, Dungeon, 59F
From the 59th floor we are climbing back to pres and the others, exterminating monsters along the way.
Just like back then in the Great Dungeon, but now Armored Pres-san’s and Slime-san’s all-out rampage solves everything. The monsters are wiped out without being able to lift a limb, let alone get in a hit.
I too would also like to go all out, but I’m still unable to locate a single nighttime establishment. The high level of alert at night, preventing me from sneaking out of the inn is also fatal. Just how much are they using Presence Detection? Every time I quietly change my clothes and open the door of my room in the middle of the night I’m bombarded with Midnight Flat Gaze Crossfire! Occasionally Flat Gaze Focused Fire is also supported by Covering Flat Gaze Fire from Poster Girl and Stalker Girl! Let’s sleep properly at night? It’s very late?
「I’m back〜? Or rather, are you still on the 52th floor? And on top of that, at the entrance? Could it be that you decided to ditch us and go LETS PARTY in a dungeon, having fun in our absence? And that’s while we were earnestly, diligently, single mindedly even, scattering monsters with sincere devotion, you were LET’S PARTY on your own? Kind of?」
「「「We were properly fighting! It’s not even been 5 minutes! Moreover, we picked up magic stones from the monsters that you say you scattered!」」」
We could’ve picked them on the way back, but it looks like they picked them up for us, and for some reason, Flat Gazes! What’s the issue? Is it because I didn’t prepare food for LET’S PARTY? Eh! Am I a miserable boy who is supposed to make the food for the party that I wasn’t invited to?! Did the bullying in this world finally progress to this stage? Forget being ostracized, this is worse than being an errand boy. As I thought, having no Affection Rating gets you a horrible treatment in this world, although I wonder why it was absent in the previous world too? To which world was my Affection Rating summoned?
「Well, that aside, we encountered a fantastic floor master on the 60th floor, or rather, the impact of that sight carried a shocking punch, so we’d like to introduce you to each other, and thus came back to invite you. It’s a serious and diligent Floor Master that’s currently creating a lot of buzz, so we thought we’d just leave it to the young folks, while we will cheer for your success from the shadows. Well, to put it frankly and straight to the point, good luck? I guess?」
「「「Suspicious!」」」
「In the first place, why would a floor master be creating a buzz? Is it some sort of a celeb?!」
「「「No way! There is no way there would be a celeb floor master! Come to your senses, you shouldn’t be led astray by Haruka-kun’s words.」」」
「This is a betrayal! Angelica-san is averting her eyes! Moreover, with such a cliché 『Tehepero』look!」[1]
「「「Even Slime-san is averting its gaze! How is Slime-san doing it?! Even though it has no eyes, it’s somehow looking away!」」」

With this and that, we head to the 60th floor accompanied by doubts and bewilderment. Magic Stones were responsibly picked up by the staff (classmates). Kind of.
And curtains to the boss fight opened, which I immediately closed. I’m just sending my thoughts and prayers from the rear while playing with the living slimeform (Slime-san).
「…Eh, defend!」
「「「Got it, or actually, NOOO~」」」
The giant fly that comes striking down at them, its strange gloss makes it look even more gross and disgusting. Even the sound of its wings is sort of gross? Well, everyone seems to hate it. The giant fly is gross enough that even the idiots are hesitating to charge at it. And with the experience, that everyone gathered through fights with countless monsters of this world, they clearly understood, that thing is going to spit juices no matter if they cut or hit it. It’s going to scatter those insect fluids everywhere!
The giant fly that repeatedly attacks by moving in ever-changing abnormal unreadable trajectory, 『Gigantic Fly Lv 60』, specialized in evasion it seems capable of dodging even spells, it can be easily handled if one can hit it, and capturing it would result in an easy victory. But no one is attempting that, no one is trying to even touch that.
Making a defensive formation they are raining arrows on it, but it is easily evading them with its high speed. Looks like firing one by one isn’t going to cut it. Magic is also being dodged.
There is no other choice but to take it down in close combat. My Dimensional Slash can cut it down even from afar, but the fly is flying above us, moreover, it’s making lots of minute movements, in other words, if I cut it, I’ll be splashed with bug juices! Even 『Future Sight』can only see the future when I’m splattered with insect liquids!
And while it’s only gross and disgusting, it’s still impossible to beat it with only 『Air Walk』, mid-air combat against those movements is too unfavorable.
In other words, no matter how hard one tries, getting splattered with bug juices and ending up all smeared in them is the only possible outcome. And on top of insecticides not being highly effective against flies anyway, the 60th floor is also spacious and has a high ceiling. Insecticides are not cheap to begin with, so it would be just a huge waste.
And suppressing its movements with『Holding』would also be a challenge. Probably too much to do during the fight.
And this is a perfect opponent. While strong, it’s not that dangerous, being it is difficult, but there is no chance of them losing to it. It’s perfect both in terms of training and experience, Armored Pres-san and Slime-san are both nodding, so there is no issue. So we should leave this to them, giving up on this monster for them was the right thing to do. A boss fight on floor 60 will be a nice boost to both experience points and confidence. So leaving it to them was the right thing to do! I mean, after all, I don’t want to be splattered with bug juice? Seriously.
「Use wide-area attacks, simply hitting it is enough!」
「Windstorm!」
「Hellfire」

「Seal of Storms, I can’t hit it!」
「Extreme Air Slash~? Eh?」
They can’t hit it. As I thought, it can see mana, it doesn’t look at spells and then dodge, it looks at the flow of magic power, and moves to evade before the attack happens. And since it has compound eyes it has no dead angles. Compared to Rajingan it’s nothing special, but it is still hard to hit. That is why it is a good practice opponent. Yes, definitely.
「What do we do? It’s taking longer than I expected, should we at least provide them with support? I mean, just waiting is a pain, and there is nothing else to do? Just leave the gross and disgusting parts to the others?」
(Nod, nod)(Jiggle, bounce.)
「「「We heard you! We don’t need gross parts either!」」」
First spread mana through the entirety of the space above, then grasp it with 『Holding』and suppress the Gigantic Fly’s movements along with the space around it itself. If it’s distracted by combat, then I can grasp this fly with Holding despite it’s quick and agile movements. I could end this in an instant by using Evil Hands, but the sensations from them come back to me through feedback, and I totally don’t need a feeling of touching a fly? Just thinking about it gives me the creeps!
But it can’t be brought to the ground with『Gravity』, it’s original mass isn’t that great despite the giant size. And since it still zooms all over the place, I can’t hit the fly pinpoint with it. But unusually, Armored Pres-san and Slime-san are providing support with magic attacks. Looks like they absolutely don’t want to touch or even approach that thing.
Suppressing it, we forced it down to the floor, which was then followed by a simultaneous attack. A simultaneous attack from a mid-range distance. Everyone is completely avoiding any close combat.
Meanwhile, we evacuated, and when we retreated all the way to a small room beside the stairs that happened.
(SPLAT!)

「「「「GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」」」」
As I expected. The biggest reason why we couldn’t bring down the Gigantic Fly, while it didn’t have the same destructive power as 『Explode Self』suicide attack… The bug juice explosion would not only mean being splashed in bug fluids but also covered in a sea of maggots? Nope, that’s too much.
「「「「NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」」」」」
The floor is being actively incinerated with Grand Blaze! The endless swarm of maggots is instantaneously purged with fire, or rather, a barrier erected by the geeks is about to crack from that excessive firepower.
That’s caused by the Great Sage snapping. She must’ve taken a bug fluids shower with a generous share of maggots.This is bad, at this rate the floor itself might soon collapse? How do we stop that though? She completely lost sense of reason, rampaging in a berserk state. And as I thought, she is covered in that liquid from head to toe.
「Guuuwaaaaaaaaa~!」
This is really bad? She is totally broken, she can’t hear anything. A complete berserk state.
In that case, it’s time for the sealed forbidden magic words. There is not a moment to waste and no other way out.
(Mumble-mumble)
She calmed down. Vice Pres B-san seems to have shut down. While the crisis was averted, the floor is close to collapsing, so let’s reinforce it for now. Aaah, the aftermath is going to kill me…
Everyone is alright, but the Geek Saint and the Geek Guardian, and even Shinobi… Ah, the mage is also done for~, all out of MP. While they managed to protect everyone from the hell of flames, they reached their limits. Right now, I can burn their heads as I please, but since they did their best, I guess I’ll spare them. After all, they managed to protect everyone from the Great Sage-san’s rampage with the Saint’s barrier. Looks like they weren’t protecting their heads from Inferno time after time for nothing.
But with the geeks all out of mana everyone else is…are all covered in that gross and filthy insect and maggot fluids, looking incredibly gross? Yeah, while it’s still early we should head back. After all, those are not Flat Gazes, those are Empty Eyes. They look completely hollow. As if painted completely black, there is not a shred of luster to them.
Yup, can’t continue today. Everyone being silent feels somehow scary?
