Sitting Together After a Long While
Hello, good evening. I'm currently having a meal together with the girls, can't remember the last time we're all sitting on the same table like this.
It's really so much more fun when you have company than eating alone at your own pace.
Alma came by and offered help when I was cooking in the kitchen earlier, unusual for her.
I'm happy about it, but she volunteered to peel and cut carrots before I could assign her a simple task to do.
Well, there's a first to everything so I let her go at it and she surprisingly did the job properly and neatly.
...Actually can you cut this good without Cooking Skill? Turned out she picked 'Cooking' as her Gift Skill when she reached Advanced Job.
According to Alma, she wanted to treat me to her own cooking as thanks for always feeding her tasty food.
...My tear glands are almost bursting. She's such a good girl. Sniffle.
Today's dinner menu is Ginger Fried Pork, cut cabbage, onion, tofu and carrot miso soup.
My biggest haul in Japan was tofu among all the stuff I bought. Really drives home how blessed earth's food situation is.
"This tofu thing has the texture of pudding but it doesn't taste the same at all..."
『Pii...』
"Well, I mean, it's a mixture of bean and salt. I don't think it tastes bad but I won't blame you if it's not to your liking."
Reina and Hiyoko looked a bit dejected as they had a taste of tofu. Guess it wasn't that big a haul.
I understand their disappointment in the lack of punchy flavor, but the idea of pudding in miso soup is a recipe for disaster.
Alma worked her way through her share without any complaint.
Her face looks bright, or maybe it's just me... Her expressions barely changes so I can only hazard a guess based on the mood.
She's especially scrupulous with the carrots as if making sure she cut them right.
I'm checking our Status in the meantime.
Judging from my fight against the doppelganger back then, these girls must have leveled up a lot too... Kinda excited and scared of seeing them for real...

U, umu. I'm just glad they're rising nicely... Err, I mean, isn't that a lot of levels she gained while I was away? What happened.
Most of her Attributes even reached four digits. Considering her Stamina pool, she should be able to break 5000 numbers if she gets serious.
...She could easily defeat Demon Chiefs now. She's even got new Skills.
On top of all that, it seems she's gotten a lot better with Mana Control which isn't displayed on Status Screen.
She's pretty much as proficient as me with Mana Pile Bunker, she might eventually learn Mana Flight too even. I mean, she used it on Floor 20.
Alrighty, I'm gonna hand over Soarer's title to Alma. Eh, you don't wanna? Figured~.
Next up, Reina.

Her Attributes are as unbalanced as ever. Look at those gaps between STR, DEF and AGI.
Although Ninja is supposed to be a Job specializing in scouting, these attributes are uncharacteristically high.
...I mean, I'm seeing lots of disturbing names on her Skill, Master Skill and Title lists.
She's more like a certain finishing move character than a ninja. Charara~.
Just like Alma, her equipment has been casually upgraded too.
Wonder if Alma's parents ordered them. Those two really took such a good care of them.
Next one's, Hiyoko.

Hold up. You're clearly way stronger than your Platinum Cock parent!
STR and AGI are especially weird. Both broke four digits already. Where'd that put Reina's position then.
The both of them are about as strong in practice with equipment stat bonus added, but man, I didn't think Hiyoko would get this far.
Wonder if this is an effect of 'Succession' too. Just a few pieces of feathers got Hiyoko this strong.
There's not a hint left of that weak initial Stats.
She's on par with S-rank magic beasts, actually she's probably standing above the pecking order even.
Not just Hiyoko, it's all of them... They're all such a talented bunch.
No, you can't explain this all away with just talent, this must the result of real backbreaking grueling hard work. They're moving too fast.
...Though it's mostly spurted by me and Alma's parents.
...Might as well have a look at my Status too.

Yup, my base specs finally went over 3000s.
I've got some glitched stuff on my Titles too. Apparently it's because of my adventure on that bug-ridden floor... Wonder if Menu-san is doing okay.
By the way, my HPMPSP are nearly depleted thanks to Oni-sensei's beating.
'Resource' is a kind of energy I got from defeating enemies in other worlds. It can be converted into experience points.
I'd have free access to it once Menu levels up a bit more. I plan to transfer it to Alma and the girls, raising their levels.
I'm strong enough to fight on equal ground with Demon Chiefs even at base stat. Heck, they're nothing more than exp to me at this point.
...And yet, it's not enough. I'm nowhere near powerful enough to go up against Demon King.
At least not me by myself.
Asides from their king, demons aren't actually that strong. Chief-class are about equal with Special Job holders, but people on the level of Alma's parents can easily dispatch of them.
Let's see how far can Demon King go as a one man army. We're gonna bulldoze our way with sheer number.
Rear attack, ambush and finally bulldoze. On a level unprecedented to anything before.
I'd love to stay out of sight until that time comes but the recapture operation of Continent 3 must be done.
I'm gonna give out Analysis Filter to my party and select members. We'll reach Demon King Castle while staying incognito from his Menu.
To that end, we gotta eat our fill and build up strength.
...Running out of Stamina is such a hassle. I can replenish my Stamina by converting my mana, but I gotta sleep through the night if I run out of mana.
Can't be helped, I'll have some cup noodles I bought from Japan and get me some Stamina.
I took one cup out of Item Screen, poured in hot water, put it back in Item Screen and set the time to progress by 3 minutes.
That's one cup noodle done in no time... This is a level beyond instant now.
"Huh, Kajikawa-san, you're still gonna have more?"
"Yea, used up my stamina cuz of some extenuating circumstances. Gotta eat a lot or I'd have to use a stupid amount of mana."
"Hmm... What's that thing anyway? It's wafting this tasty scent."
"Ah, I landed in Japan one way or another while I was exploring Floor 21. Bought this stuff while I was there."
"Eh, isn't, J-Japan..."
"Hikaru's, world...?"
The two girls got wide eye shocked when I mentioned Japan.
I guess they would. Who could've guessed I'd go back home.
...I mean, I did come across several past Japan-like locations, but they all look like bloody eras...
"My repertoire is gonna see a huge jump now that I've bought all this foodstuff. Rejoice my fellows."
"Uh, it's nothing but food. You're really a huge glutton, Kajikawa-san."
"...Don't you want to go back to your world?"
"Nope. I've got heaps of stuff I gotta take care in this world, nor am I going to leave you girls behind by yourselves... Ah, would you be happier if I went back?"
"No! That's not what I...!"
"Haha, I wasn't serious... Ah, so, sorry, my bad, please wipe your tears, no really sorry forgive me, I won't go back to Japan for real, please don't cry."
"...You really can't win against Alma-san, can you..."
『Pii.』
I do plan to take the girls and live in Japan if things seem utterly hopeless but that's really gonna be my lastest resort.
There's just no way I'll let that guy eradicate humanity... I mean, I am super terrified though. What do I do if he got me before I could react again. Tremble.
