Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Year 7446, Month 7, Day 1

Lured by the scent of their allies corpses being cooked around 30 Red Battle Crabs in total appeared. After using various spells to overcome the three wave attacks we all let out sighs in front of the mountain of stupidly huge crabs piled on top of each other.

"We can't bring them all back with us right.."

Ralpha said as if she was disappointed from the bottom of her heart.

Honestly speaking, I feel completely the same. It's my first time eating a crab so huge that even one claw or leg was beyond what just one person could handle. It's not so often that you can enjoy the luxury of eating your stomach full of genuine crab meat.

Incidentally, the spell that was the most efficient at clearing through them was {Acid Cloud} but since the meat corrodes along with the shell our long awaited pray ends up becoming inedible so we rejected using it. The other Cloud type spells weren't very effective and in the end didn't even work for slowing them down.

And then, even freezing them wasn't very effective. It's big that we can stop their movements but even if they're completely frozen they stay alive for a considerably long time afterwards. Aren't they not even barely breathing? Since it seemed like it would just take time we gave up on it. Even when we just froze their legs they started cutting off their legs partway through. Thinking it was fine I tried approaching one and was surprised when it suddenly cut it's own legs and started moving. It's dangerous right.

The spell that showed it's power among those was {Web}. After being caught up in a highly adhesive string when their movements dull Gwine and Basutoral would stab with their spears destroying their brains. In my past life, I made good use of my experience fishing for black porgy using small shore crabs like tank crabs or aburakani. The position of their brains was almost the same. The sole problem that could be called a problem is that the same as Cloud types the only ones who can currently use it are Miduchi and I but eventually Toris should be able to use it.

The Red Battle Crabs we defeated using {Web} weren't cooked or had their shells cracked or damages, so other than the hole in between their eyes where the spear stabs in they're clean. If we carefully disassemble them then we should be able to get about three buckets worth of kani miso and everything in the world is great. If we cut off the claws or legs from the body and tie them all together then one person should be able to carry about one crabs worth of them. The body is too big so there's no way to bring it along just like that. We decided to boil the kani miso before carefully taking out the contents and filling it into the shell of a claw that we took the insides out of before bringing it back with us. If we put some salt on it later and heat it up then we can deliciously eat it. It might be good to boil it a bit and reduce the water content by half before putting it into a bottle as well. If we leave it be for a few days then it'll be ready to eat. It's kani miso shiokara. I want some squid to go with it.

Toris who was blinded by the kani miso forcefully took everyone's flasks and packed those full of kani miso as well. I just wanted that while rolling the magic stones from the crabs in my hands while combining them into just one. After all, the value isn't anything great.

They're only around 3,000 each. It's still better than Gnolls or Goblin Zombies but it's less than Orks or Hobgoblins.

Now then, Toris should already be satisfied.

"Alright, then let's head back. Be careful since we have a lot of baggage."

When I said that calling out to everyone, unusually Gwine raised her voice with an opposite opinion.

"Since we've gone through the trouble of coming to the 9th floor, how about returning after taking a quick look inside of a monster room.."

Oh? This beard-san sure is proactive today. In regards to our bags for the time being we could leave them in the surroundings of the teleport crystal and grab them when we return so there's no problem on that end though.

"Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to just do that much right!"

Ralpha jumped on that idea. With this I've made my decision. Let's go back.
