Hari ke-29? – Faraway Labyrinth, Lantai Terendah.
「Eehm? Soo? Senang bertemu? Kurasa? Mungkin?」
Aku berjabat tangan dengan Skeleton-san.
Untung sekali, dia tidak marah soal『Penjinakan』.
Aah, aku benar-benar ketakutan tadi? Maksudku, aku nggak bisa baca ekspresi wajahnya? Kan dia tengkorak.
Aku sendiri ragu bisa ngobrol sama dia, tapi kelihatannya dia ngerti apa yang aku omongin.
Cuma aku nggak tahu dia mikirin apa. Wajahnya nggak nampak apa-apa. Iya, kan tengkorak.
Mungkin efek『Penjinakan』, tapi aku merasakan kecerdasan yang mendalam darinya.
Para Idiot, yang nggak bakal ketemu sebutir kecerdasan pun walau dicari keras-keras, nggak bisa dibandingkan dengan betapa cerdasnya tengkorak ini.
Yah, kalo kebetulan kecerdasan mereka ikut nasib rating afeksi ku dan ter-teleport ke dunia ini, pasti sudah jauh ke dalam tanah dan sudah lama busuk di sana.
Meski aku khawatir soal keamanan rating afeksi ku, sekarang Skeleton-san lebih penting. ……Tapi aku tetap khawatir.

Levelnya direset? Begitukah caranya? Para Bitch dari awal Lv 1… Lagi pula, sampe kapan mereka bakal tetap dijinakkan?
Dan nama yang tadi kosong…… 「Angelica」-san? Kelihatannya dia perempuan? Jadi aku jinakkin perempuan lagi, dan kali ini memang usaha sendiri?! Aku nggak bakal bisa cari alasan kali ini? Tidak, kan aku jinakkin「Skeleton?」mungkin nggak masalah? Kenapa aku merasa bakal dimarahin deso?
Rasnya juga, cuma 「Skeleton?」, turun pangkat dari tiga ras Dullahan, Lich, dan No Life King? Karena dia Lv 1? Di atas itu masih ada tanda tanya?
Usianya 17? Padahal dia Undead No Life King? Berarti dia abadi 17? Apakah tren ini bakal menyebar ke dunia ini juga?! Apakah dia bakal di-dub orang itu?! Tidak, Skeleton-san nggak bisa bicara… Atau tetap dapat seiyuu? Yah, sepertinya aku nggak usah mikir terlalu dalam soal ini. [1]
Dan pekerjaannya nampaknya Jobless. Berarti kita sekalian? Dia juga kelihatannya sudah pensiun dari jabatan 『Kaisar Faraway Labyrinth』, kayaknya dia nggak puas sama kondisi kerja. Iya, jam kerja 24 jam sehari? Nggak ada libur? Gaji nol? Itu perusahaan hitam total! Hitam pekat! Pasti dia telan sama kegelapan, sudah segelap itu jadi perusahaan kegelapan! [2]
Semua status 99? Berarti direset? Atau batas yang bisa dibawa? Dia lahir kembali? Reinkarnasi? Jadi tengkorak? ……Misteri.
Tapi mulai dari 99 di level 1…… Aku mulai dari 10…… Status dasar ku sepuluh kali lebih rendah.
Dan seperti dugaan, aku nggak bisa lihat apa-apa selain itu.
Tanda tanya yang baik dan lama.
Tapi meski turun ke level satu dan kehilangan kebanyakan status, dia tetap memancarkan aura super kuat.
Kurasa itu dari sikapnya.
Bukan status atau apapun, tapi kebiasaan, terukir di memori otot, meski dia cuma tulang.
Meski begitu, dia Lv 1, aku nggak bisa suruh dia buat hal terlalu berat.
Iya, Level Wall kan ada, katanya? Atau begitu aku denger? Aku sendiri belum nemuin.
Seharusnya aku bisa ke permukaan kalo naik. Pertanyaan ini lantai ke berapa. Mungkin butuh berhari-hari sampe permukaan. Makanan nggak masalah. Bahkan akhir-akhir ini aku merasa stoknya nggak akan habis. Tapi aku tetep ngumpulin? Itu kan jamur.
Dan masalah terbesar, monster di dungeon makin kuat semakin ke bawah. Itu standar. Nggak ada yang mau sebaliknya. Bayangin masuk dungeon tapi nemuin boss terakhir di lantai pertama.
Tapi karena aku jatuh, eksplorasi ku malah dimulai dari boss. Dari lantai terendah. Karena aku naik, selanjutnya aku bakal nemuin monster terkuat yang nunggu tepat sebelum boss.
Bukan cuma buruk, tapi mustahil.
Monster yang pasti lebih kuat dari Goblin Emperor bakal keluar berkelompok. Bukan pertarungan lagi.
Ini bukan situasi yang bisa level up Skeleton-san, dan beda sama lawan boss, musuhnya banyak. Aku nggak bisa lawan cara biasa.

Day 29? – The Faraway Labyrinth, the Lowest Floor.
「Eehm? Soo? Nice to meet you? I guess? Kind of?」
I shake hands with Skeleton-san.
Thank goodness, it isn’t mad about『Taming』.
Aah, I was really scared? I mean, I can’t read its facial expression? It’s a skull after all.
I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to converse with it but it looks like it understands what I’m saying.
Though I don’t know what it actually thinks. Since it doesn’t show on its face. I mean, it’s a skull after all.
It might be an effect of『Taming』, but I feel a profound intelligence from it.
The idiots, in whom one wouldn’t be able to find even a single speck of intelligence no matter how hard they tried, cannot even begin to compare to how highly intelligent this skull feels.
Well, if by some chance their intelligence met the same fate as my affection rating and was teleported to this world, it must have gone way deeper under the ground and long since rotted away there.
Though I’m worried about the safety of my affection rating, right now Skeleton-san is more important. ……But I’m still worried.

The level was reset? Is that how it works? The bitches were Lv 1 from the beginning… Or rather, how long are they going to remain tamed?
And the name which was blank earlier…… 「Angelica」-san? Looks like she was a woman? So I tamed another woman, and this time it actually was my own doing?! I won’t be able to make any excuses this time? No, since I tamed「Skeleton?」it’s probably not a problem? Why do I feel that I will get scolded for this?
The race as well, simply 「Skeleton?」, a demotion from the triple race of Dullahan, Lich, and No Life King? Because she is Lv 1? And on top of that, there is a question mark?
The age is 17? Even though she was Undead No Life King? Is that supposed to be eternally 17? Could it be that this trend is going to spread through this world as well?! Is she going to be voiced by that person?! No, Skeleton-san can’t speak… Or will she get a VA anyway? Yeah, I probably shouldn’t think too deeply about this. [1]
And the occupation seems to be Jobless. So we are in the same boat? She also seems to have retired from the post of 『Emperor of the Faraway Labyrinth』, I guess she wasn’t satisfied with working conditions. I mean 24 working hours per day? No days off? Salary zero? That’s a total black corporation! Pitch black! Of course, she will get swallowed by darkness, it’s so black that it’s a darkness corporation at this point! [2]
All of the stats are 99? So it was a reset? Or is it a limit of what can be carried over? Was she reborn? Reincarnated? Into a skeleton? ……A mystery.
But starting with 99 at level 1…… I started at 10…… My base stats are ten times lower.
And as expected, I can’t see anything else.
Good old question marks.
But even after dropping to level one and losing most of the stats, she still gives off an aura of being super strong.
I guess that comes from her bearing.
Not stats or anything, but the habit, engraved in muscle memory, though she is just bones.
Even so, she is Lv 1, I can’t make her do anything too challenging.
Yes, Level Wall exists after all, supposedly? Or so I heard? Never encountered it myself though?
I should be able to reach the surface if I go up. The question is which floor is this. It might take many days to reach the surface. Food is not a problem. Or rather, lately I began to feel that I will never run out of it. But I just keep picking up more anyway? That’s mushrooms for you.
And the biggest problem, monsters in dungeons get stronger the lower you go. That’s the standard. No one would want it to be the other way. Imagine stepping into the dungeon to find the last boss on the first floor.
But since I fell down, my exploration started with the boss. From the lowest floor. Since I’m going up, next, I will find the strongest monsters that are waiting just before the boss.
It’s not just bad, it’s more like impossible.
The monsters undoubtedly stronger than the goblin emperor are going to come out in packs. It won’t even be a fight.
It’s not the situation where I can level up Skeleton-san, and unlike the boss fight, there will be multiple enemies. I can’t fight them the conventional way.
