I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless-Chapter 351
Chapter 351
(351) Terrifying trap
Translator: Tseirp
I activated Hawk Eye .
My field of view slowly descended . That sensation always felt weird . The feeling of seeing something apart from what you see with your own eyes .
I tried to move my sight a little .
“Bu!”
“What’s wrong!?”
“N-no, it’s nothing . ”
Haru was shocked but I assured her that I was fine .
I couldn’t say that I ended up seeing Haru’s bloomers and Carol and Rarael’s underwear with my lowered vision .
That said, Rarael’s underwear was pretty much just cord . That was an astonishing thing to wear . Even with their markedly improved defensive strength thanks to their Dark Elf secret technique, she’s way too defenseless there .
I calmed down my heartbeat and lowered my vision further .
There I saw a clown-like small humanoid constructing a barricade . So that’s the Trapdoll . It took out a talisman from its body and stuck it on the barricade, further proving its identity . It was an explosion talisman used by Magic Journalists .
I couldn’t imagine ordinary monsters using such a talisman .
But there was a huge problem .
“I see the Trapdoll – – but something is bothering me . ”
I returned my sight and asked Carol .
“Are there monsters that resemble the Trapdoll? Or do they have different colors?”
“No, I have not heard of it . ”
“Trapdolls are rare monsters, right? They are rarely seen . ”
“Yes . ”
Carol nodded to my questions .
Just as I had imagined .
It wasn’t really a problem but it was strange .
That was because, in the room on the floor below, there were three Trapdolls .
“Have there been cases where many Trapdolls spawned?”
“I have not heard of it . ”
“Carol neither . ”
Haru and Carol shook their heads .
That’s normal . They were deemed rare monsters precisely because they rarely spawn .
Dungeon monsters are not born as monster children like regular monsters . In the first place, dolls can’t give birth to children anyway .
In that case, was something happening in the dungeon?
“The Trapdolls are located on the third floor . Let’s defeat them before they make any more traps . Also, there might not just be three Trapdolls . Rarael, please keep a lookout for any other dense congregation of traps . ”
“““Yes . ”””
It would take time to disarm the traps one by one .
Using Rarael’s ability to determine the type of traps, I decided to destroy the traps that can be destroyed from a distance using Slash or magic .
After Rarael disarmed the trap that we had to disarm as it led to the lower floor, a metal lump in a humanoid form came toward us .
According to Metal Appraisal, it was made of iron .
“It’s an Iron Golem . ”
Carol looked at the Iron doll .
I knew it was an Iron Golem .
“Iron Golem huh – – Petite Fire . ”
I was thinking of defeating it in one shot with magic but only the surface of the Iron Golem melted .
“Heh, it’s quite strong . ”
“Ichino-sama, the Iron Golem’s weakness is – -“
Carol was saying something but I had already taken out my katana – – White Wolf Fang .
And I proceeded to bisect the Iron Golem with a diagonal slash from below .
Skill – – Iron Decapitation .
It was easy cutting the Iron Golem in half using the skill that could slice through iron .
【Ichinojo leveled up】
All right, I leveled up .
I acquired many skills but I did not learn any Practitioner skills this round so I’ll check them all together later .
“There are not many monsters . ”
“That’s likely due to the traps laid by the Trapdolls . Since not only humans can get caught in them . ”
“That said . I was expecting stronger monsters since this is an Advanced Dungeon . ”
“Ichino-sama, the Iron Golem is a strong monster . It is a monster said to only have Thunder Magic as its weakness . ”
“As expected of Master . I will have to strive to emulate Master . ”
Haru said as she picked up the three iron ingots and a magic stone .
“Then Haru will have to become a Samurai once you reach peak for Sword Saint . ”
“Yes – – Alcohol and my tail and jobs . I have a mountain of tasks . ”
Haru said with a determined tone .
Her tail was wagging with joy and she was still getting drunk on the alcohol smeared on dried meat to preserve it so she probably has a long road ahead .
“You will advance as long as you have tasks . It’s a good thing to have a mountain of tasks . ”
I pat Haru’s head as I said that .
“Ichino-sama, Carol’s tasks are to obtain status to protect myself, secure skills and acquire Appraisal-type skills . ”
“I see, then let’s level up together . ”
I replied and pat Carol’s head .
“Ichinojo-sama, my tasks are to train up the Dark Elves and protect the Sugyu, chicken breeding farm and the Golden Tree in My World to the death . ”
Rarael said with a red face .
It became a habit of mine to pat Haru’s head since her actions look like a dog and I had no resistance toward patting Carol’s head when she looked at me with child-like eyes .
Even though it was embarrassing to pat an adult woman’s head, I still pat Rarael’s head .
“What are Master’s tasks?”
Haru asked .
My tasks? Naturally, there were many .
“Saving Miri is foremost . For now, my goal is to learn Dispel and treat the person suffering from the frenzy curse that the guards are looking for . Also, I want to help Carol own a shop . I want to visit dungeons around the world with Haru and I should not forget to introduce Malina to Daijiro-san . And I want to spread the notion that eel is delicious in regions where eel can be harvested …”
Haru and the others stared at me as I listed my tasks one after the other .
I smiled and lowered my head .
Haru, Carol, and Rarael pat my head gently .
It was embarrassing to be patted but it was enjoyable too .
We arrived at the floor where the Trapdolls were at . It was filled with traps such that we couldn’t even walk properly .
Taking a step ahead would result in an arrow flying at us and a tub of miasma dropping on us . After all, the arrow and the tub were clearly in view .
“Hn, if Centaur was here, it feels like it might be fine even if charged right through the traps . ”
I joked about it but for some reason, Haru and the others looked with distant eyes and did not reply .
Just what exactly happened in My World?
“If we continue forward, we will arrive at the Trapdoll nest . ”
“Disarming the traps will take some time . Should we gather all the Dark Elves who have the Trap Disarm skill?”
Rarael suggested .
“Most of the traps after triggered by stepping on them so can’t we just leap over them?”
“There’s no meaning if our landing point is also trapped, Haru-san . ”
Haru made quite a brute force suggestion but Carol rejected it .
That’s true . There would be no meaning if we leap over traps just to land onto one .
I considered just ignoring the Trapdolls and proceeding down to the next floor but it would be troublesome if the traps increased in number any further .
“ … Ah, in the first place, there’s no need for us to head to the nest?”
“Do we ignore them and proceed?”
“No, if we use Carol’s skill – -“
“Ah! Sorry, Carol totally forgot about it . ”
Carol said and looked like she used the Job Change skill .
She changed her first job from Succubus Queen to Temptress .
Temptress unique skill, Moon’s Captivating Fragrance .
It was a skill that would attract monsters when in an underground space or at night . Normally it would be dangerous so we don’t use it but it was useful for this situation .
As evidence, I could hear explosions coming from the end .
The Trapdolls exploded the barricade they made to protect themselves .
And then the three Trapdolls approached us defenselessly .
“The Trapdolls don’t trigger their own traps?”
“That seems to be the case . The traps aren’t triggering even though they step on it . ”
And when the Trapdolls approached Carol, I used my White Wolf Fang to bisect the three of them .
The skill exposes Carol to danger so I don’t want to use it but it was convenient after all .
【Ichinojo leveled up】
【Practitioner skill: 「Shield Magic II」has skilled up to「Shield Magic III」】
Oh, Practitioner reached Lv77 . I would reach Lv80 in three more levels . This time I acquired other skills apart from that of Practitioner but I’ll check them later .
All Shield, I learned a spell that will raise the defensive power of all companions .
“Master, Rara Medals, magic stones, and Release Tool . It is a kind of magic tool useful in disarming traps . ”
There were three of each item .
I stored the Rare Medals and magic stones in my item bag, passed one of the Release Tool to Rarael and kept the remaining two in my item bag .
We found the stairs leading to the next floor before coming here so there was no need to go out of our way to disarm the traps further in .
“I will report to the Adventurers Guild and leave it to them . ”
“Just like Master said, that is the best course of action . The Adventurers Guild will likely release a request to disarm traps . Trap Disarming requests are treated like pocket money for adventurers who explore dungeons so they will probably do it while exploring . The country’s army would have to be deployed if the traps increased so it’s good that we exterminated them early . ”
I see, adventurer’s pocket money? In that case, there was no need to rob them of their income .
We returned to the path we came from and proceeded to the next floor .
“Ichino-sama, there is a treasure chest .
Carol found a treasure chest in a small room .
“Well, there’s no monster presence so it doesn’t seem like a Mimic . ”
“There’s no presence of traps too . ”
“All right, then I will open it . ”
Carol opened the treasure chest .
And then .
Carol’s figure disappeared the moment the chest was opened .
