Chapter 165:

Jungle of Paintball Field 1

In the world, there's a formula for victory.

It's a phrase that would be in self-help books or stock market books, but historically, the famous one would be timing, terrain, and harmony'.

In a formula, it's like timing terrain harmony = victory'.

This seems like simple multiplication.

The current weather is clear despite the cold wind blowing, and the battlefield is the playground of paintball gamers. My spirits are very high after receiving the heartfelt healing from the cute Ruu and filling up on crab to boost morale. Moreover, they were grateful to me for providing weapons to fight monsters.

Yes, timing, terrain, and harmony are perfectly aligned.

So, I casually asked the paintball gamers, "While eliminating monsters on the battlefield, would you like to explore a dungeon as well?" In no time, they discovered a cave-like dungeon nestled in a nearby thicket, close to the battlefield.

Truly paintball gamers. They're accustomed to walking in the mountains and fields.

"(Rustle rustle rustle swish swish) Hmmm, is that it?"

Visible on the slope covered with dry fallen leaves was the cave. It seemed like a place where one could easily slip if not careful.

"Huh?! What, a jungle. Hey, with that outfit, you'll get shot by someone who doesn't recognize you, you know?"

"Oh, what's that? Admiral, do you think so too? Well, it's okay since I've asked the pot crew to pass on the information. But let's be cautious."

Yes, my appearance has now magnificently changed from the Holy Salt Robe to the Bug King Suit.

Since Ruu brought it for me, I changed after lunch. After all, facing an unknown dungeon for the first time, I'd like to be fully equipped if possible.

"Ohhh~ The Holy Salt Robe is nice, but once you get used to it, this one definitely feels more calming, Master"

"That's right."

""Wow (murmuring)""

As Serai-san, shining dimly in her metallic golden Bug Queen Suit, appeared behind me in my Bug King Suit, sighs of admiration escaped the assembled paintball gamers.

Yeah, I get that feeling. The suits are very snug, and you can see the body contours clearly. Even though no skin is exposed, it somehow feels very glossy and sexy.

"Now, let's do our best to catch up. Ruu-chan"

"Yeah, Shizu-chan. Let's do our best!"

""Wow! (murmuring)"""

And when Nina-san and Ruu in their Bug King Suit Mk II appeared, the murmurs and sighs increased even more. After all, the helmets they wore could easily open and close like the lid of an electronic rice cooker, allowing the two beautiful women to show their lovely faces while chatting.

Hehehe, how about that? I made everything, and it looks super sexy-cool, doesn't it?

"Haha My goodness, everyone looks amazing. We occasionally delved into dungeons, but we've never seen anyone dressed like this."

"Yeah. Well, this is our unique style. But not just appearances, the performance is top-notch too (nyoon~! Click! Click!)."

To surprise Admiral, amazed by our appearance, I moved the attached arm attachment on the back to demonstrate some of the suit's capabilities.

"Ohh~ I want one too!"

"Hahaha, once Serai-san gets more used to manipulating magic. So, Admiral, how about this area?"

Setting aside the eager Serai-san, I turned to the admiral to continue the conversation.

"Oh, it's fine here. Beyond that slope would have been troublesome. But up to this point, it's my acquaintance's land."

"I see. Then we should be fine even if something happens. Alright, everyone! We're starting the dungeon exploration now! Those participating, please be careful to avoid accidents or injuries!"Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

"Ruu-chan, that way!"

"Yes, I got it! Hyah! (Gosu!)"

Oh, Ruu's weapon is now the nostalgic Katsuo-kun bat. It's currently her main weapon, doing its job well. I wonder how much monster blood it has absorbed, considering my time with it. Thinking about it feels eerie, almost scary.

"Shizu-chan, behind you!"

"I got it Hya! (Gusha!)"

Nina-san flashes a glance toward me, and the ghostly aloe is explosively shattered by the Excalibur swung down with force. The weapons I used as Double Excalibars are now being used separately by Nina-san and Seki-san.

Me? Ah, well, I still haven't used a jumbo-sized golden lever or anything. Plus, by creating rock salt with magic like this, it become a splendid weapon already. So, weapons have become not really necessary anymore. Well, I still have lingering feelings of admiration for weapons, though.

Thus, we descended to the second underground floor. The monsters in the plant dungeon's second underground floor were Kung Fu Bamboos. It seemed like monsters from shallower layers had crawled out to the surface as they were.

"Hmm these guys are slower on land than underground!"

"Look! They're too tall and stuck on the ceiling!"

And the Kung Fu Bamboo, almost reaching a height of 4 meters, for some reason, had its head stuck on the dungeon's ceiling, making it very difficult to move.

"It's our chance! Let's get them!"

""Ohhh!!""

Due to the mismatched terrain, the Kung Fu Bamboos were beaten by airsoft gamers on their home turf. It's clearly a placement mistake. If there were Dungeon Masters or something in the dungeon, they should change the location.

"Sorry! We'll need more supplies again!"

"Alright."

The monsters defeated in the dungeon turned into smoke and dropped items. The drop from the Kung Fu Bamboo given by the airsoft gamers was a magic stone and a bamboo tube filled with liquid'. It was about the size of a mini beer can, and when shaken, it made a bubbly sound like there was liquid inside. What's this? Does it contain bamboo extract inside?

"Hmm it's an easy win. With this, we should be fine descending one more floor, but what do you think, Jung?"

"Yeah, it seems fine at first glance. But maybe we should hunt a bit more here, let everyone level up, and then descend?"

"I see, let's do that. Hey everyone! If you've leveled up, report during resupply!"

And so, we continued battling for about an hour on the second underground floor.

After all, everyone here is a military enthusiast and an airsoft gamer. Therefore, they were well aware of the importance of building formations consciously for the frontline and covering each other in battle.

So, they tactically lured the Kung Fu Bamboos into confined spaces, making them unable to move and steadily stacking up wins without danger.

Yeah, they're really reliable.

I used to play a lot of online games. But when playing team battles without voice communication, I suffered greatly from teammates who didn't consider frontline formation and either died quickly or cowardly attacked from the back with projectiles.

Moreover, not content with just that, I started foolishly chasing after a single stray enemy after breaking the frontline, like some childish soccer player imitation, and was intensely stressed by those teammates who turned into enemies rather than the actual enemies in online games.

But how about here?

These people here are well-trained soldiers, and it seems like they have the basics of combat ingrained in their bodies. Of course, there are differences in individual abilities. But whether they have learned to cover each other in battle or not seems to make a huge difference, and it's really impressive.

"It's quite impressive"

"Hm? Oh yeah, indeed. Since we often compete with other airsoft circles, everyone here has that awareness."

Admiral standing next to me noticed my unspoken thoughts and replied.

Hmm, but even so, things often don't go well. I wonder if this splendid achievement is also because of Admiral's charisma and leadership.

Hmm, could it be that Admiral is secretly an excellent commander?
