Chapter 73:

Undersea Dungeon II

Walking through the passageways of the underwater dungeon, which closely resembled my home's refrigerator dungeon, I spotted a slime. I turned to face Ruu and the others who were following closely behind me.

"Yes, everyone, pay attention. That right there is a slime. It's about the size of a basketball, translucent blue, and has a shape similar to a steamed bun."

"Yes, master!"

"Yes, what is it, Serai-san?"

"Can I attack it?"

"No, I'm still in the middle of explaining. So please wait a little longer."

"Ugh~"

Serai-san always has that aggressive spirit, doesn't she? Well, I regained my composure and continued speaking. Slimes can be troublesome monsters if you mishandle them. That's why it's crucial to explain properly.

"Now then among the monsters in the shallow layers of the dungeon, there are relatively non-aggressive ones. Monsters that won't attack humans unless provoked. Giant pillbugs and slimes fall into this category."

"Indeed, pillbugs are pretty calm if you leave them alone."

When I mentioned pillbugs, Shark, who had her arms folded, nodded in agreement. Despite her young age, her ample bosom was quite impressive and lovely.

"Now, let's see what happens if we attack a slime. Everyone, please step back a bit. (Step, step, step. Hiya!)"

[Whoa! Shubaahh! Splat!! Squishhh.]

As I kicked the slime from up close, it reacted to the attack, jumping onto me. Then it adhered to my leg, secreting acid and launching its counterattack.

"Huh?! C-Coach! Are you okay!?"

"Yeah, Ruu, I'm fine. This suit can withstand slime acid without a problem."

After all, even Cockroach King barely flinched when exposed to my [Strong Acid] skill. The Bug King Suit, made from the material of its exoskeleton, was incredibly resilient.

"Oh, it's not just a cosplay outfit, huh?"

"No, Nina-san. I'm not wearing this outfit as a hobby. I'm wearing it because it offers high defense capabilities."

"I see~! (Squish!) So that's why it's so light and durable! (Thump!)"

Yeah, Serai-san, you better stop fooling around with the Bug King mask and return it to me already.

"Ah! Jung watch out! The slime is climbing up!"

Indeed. As Shark with the hidden bosom warned, the slime was steadily climbing up my limbs.

"While it's unclear whether these slimes possess distinct cognitive abilities, from my research, it seems that when they latch onto a target like this, they try to block the target's breathing."

The Skateboard Cockroach I summoned from a card and brought into the dungeon suffered both acid attacks and suffocation, dying in agony.

"And once the slime attaches itself, it's not easy to remove, like this. (Unyo~n)"

Even if I try to grab the amorphous slime body with my hands and peel it off, it stretches like a runny nose and won't come off.

"C-Coach! It's getting dangerous!"

"Haa there really weren't many other options"

"Yeah, well, this is a slime countermeasure method I came up with, and it's not widely known yet. So, everyone, please keep it a secret"

"Yes!"

Ah, there's something so satisfying about this. It's like I've become a teacher at school or something.

We returned to the first floor of the underground passage, facing off against the slime.

"Alright, here we go. Watch closely. Soft Tooouch. (Squish) And Attack! (Squish! Squelch!)"

"Wow! (Clap, clap, clap)"

"Yes, let's go through it one by one. First, Serai-san!"

"Got it!"

I choose Serai-san with an eager expression, as she seemed excited to do this. It's easier this way than dealing with her complaints.

"Okay gently, gently~ Remember, this isn't an attack, so go slooowly gently press it gently"

I stood on the opposite side of Serai, facing the slime. I held the end of a stick used for watermelon splitting and taught her how much force to apply.

"(Squish~) Okay, gradually release your force here. Serai-san, remember the sensation of pressure you have now."

"Ye.. Yes!"

It's a very delicate process. But the [Soft Touch Attack] balances gentleness and precision. Delicate and meticulous calculations are required.

"Good keep it up. Now, gently let go. Okay! Let's switch with Nina-san now."

"Not bad, Maachi"

"Hehe, yeah. (Snap!)"

They clapped their hands together and swapped places.

"Alright, Nina-san gently, gently~ yep~ gently press it gently."

"I see this way, slimes won't be able to attack us."

Nina-san truly is resourceful. Quite skilled.

..

"Coach, like this? (Squish)"

"Perfect, Ruu! Well done!"

Ruka was already quite meticulous and refined. She's the best at this.

..

"Think of it like defusing a bomb like this (Squish)."

"Good job, Shark. Keep it up, without forgetting that feeling."

Shark had no issues either. Yeah, everyone, my students, are excellent.
