Chapter 5 Underground Tomb Exploration
Kuro Kurori ssu~
Good news! Takenoko-sensei has given me the permission to translate the web novel until chapter 24!!
You could support the author by buying his book and give your comments and likes to his Twitter post ( `・ω・´)
And here’s a message from him to all of you guys who read Rena.
Takenoko-sensei Note:
” A message huh…? Let’s see….
I would like to know everyone’s impressions while reading the translations when you have the time.
I’m worried if it can be accepted
by foreigners, but I’m glad if you could enjoyed it.I’m very sorry that I cannot give the full permission to post all of the chapters in relation to the publisher, but I am confident that it will be interesting to read in the early stages.
If you want to read the continuation, I would be jumping for joy if everyone could buy the book. But, it will be in Japanese, though. It would be very nice if I could get an English version of the book someday.
Thank you for your continued support.”
Now let’s get on with the chapter! I hope you enjoyed!
Now then, as I have finished checking the battle results, I’m exploring the tomb in full-scale and I have apparently spotted an enemy.
Zombie: 『Oouuhh…』
Seems like it’s just a zombie-likeーーーUhh, it stinks! It really stinks! This place is very harmful for someone who sets Real-life Basis, indeed.
Rena: 「…I don’t want to get close to it」
Hence, I grabbed my torch and put some oil in my mouth until it’s full then spouted it out in one go. Well, it’s a fire breathing technique, right?
Zombie: 『…uuhh』
As expected, it seems to be its weak point, though the effect is not that high. It will be faster if I close in, so let’s kill it quickly as it will be a problem if I spend a lot of time here.
I-I don’t need-…no wait! Surely it could be used for something later! I will believe in the acrobatic skills!
Rena: 「Fuuh…how should I put this… Would there be a skill that I could get if I explore without a torch? For example, night vision or eyes in the dark?」
There should be a high probability of getting it as everything in this game will depend on the players themselves. Hence, let’s explore without light.
I have gotten used to it gradually and could vaguely see my feet now.
When I thought about that, something flew along with the wind noise.
Rena: 「!!」
That was dangerous. If my reaction was delayed a little, I will take some damage…………but, seems like the monster which I’m looking for, came from the other side.
Race: 『Living Dead Sword』 | Level: 『7』
Condition: 『Normal』
I tried to activate 《Tame》, but it failed. Well, that’s a given, I guess. It’s that 「You need to show off the difference in power first」 thing, right?
Rena: 「Fu!!」
Thus, I knocked down the one who flew again with my dagger, trampled on it before it flies again and hit it with the hilt.
Sword: 『---! ーーーー! 』
Rena: 「How is it? Do you feel like submitting to me now?」
Just in case, I hit another five times and then activated 《Tame》 again….. it was a success this time, so let’s check its status.
Name: 『Undecided』
Race: 『Living Dead Sword』 | Level: 『7』
Condition: 『Possessing』
【Skill・Page】
『Floating Lv. 3』『Arms Possession Lv. 4』『Concealment Lv. 1』『Night Vision Lv. 3』『Surprise Attack Lv. 1』『Dark Magic Lv. 4』『Cut Reinforcement Lv. 2』『Mental Abnormality Resistance Lv. -』
【Title・Page】
『Rena’s Follower』 – A monster that successfully became Rena’s follower – 〚Increases buff effects received from the master 《Small》〛
I see, 《Armor Possession》, huh………… It’s a skill that is likely what I was thinking about. Let’s try it.
Rena: 「…Can you possess this dagger?」
Sword: 『-----』
The original single-edged sword that has become rusted, crumbled and disappeared, and instead it became possessed.
Seems like the possessed state combines the durability value of the weapon with the maximum HP of the monster. It’s also the same with the attack power too.
Since this dagger is an initial equipment, it’s practically an immortal item. Though, as it’s an initial equipment, the attack power will also need to be considered.
Rena: 「Next is your name, I guess.」
However, I don’t have any naming sense nor something similar to that……… How should I do this?
Rena: 「………..fine then, your name will be Yamada-san.」
(TL Note: A generic name in Japan)
Yamada: 『?! ――――! ――――!』
It seems like I was being protested, but I ignored it quickly.
Name: 『Yamada-san』
Race: 『Living Dead Sword』 | Level: 『7』
Condition: 『Possessing』
Rena: 「It has been successfully registered, I see.」
Yamada: 『-----』
I restart the exploration with a dagger that is currently floating with sorrow and wants to say 『do you have no heart?』.
