Chapter 45: Power Leveling in Every Sense of the Word

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Just like that, Koto continued to take down the nearly-dead monsters from the deep level with powerful swings of her battle axe. After she finished off the fifth monster, she then muttered.

“So-Somehow… I can feel the strength surging through my body even more than before…”

“Here it comes. That’s the sensation of leveling up.”

〈She already leveled up?〉

〈What do you expect? She just keeps dealing the last blow on monsters from the deep level.〉

〈Getting experience points with no risk.〉

〈Koto-chan! Do your best! Keep getting even stronger!〉

“Alright. I’m going to bring back more monsters for you. And also… Kanamoto-san, you should do some power leveling too.”

“Ye-Yes! I understand!”

After that, I headed back down to the 21st floor. I talked with my viewers while searching for more monsters.

“There are various debates about the pros and cons of power leveling. Some might say that while you can earn experience points like how you would in a game, but you don’t get the experience you would from real combat. Some might say that it’s not fair to get stronger so easily when other people are risking their life to get stronger gradually.”

〈Power leveling is banned in some games even.〉

〈This isn’t a game though, it’s real life.〉

〈Exactly. They’re not doing this just for fun.〉

〈But still, I know it’s real life, but don’t you think explorers should have a moral ethics at least?〉

〈What ethics are you talking about? lol〉

And it seemed the comment sections on my livestream had different opinions too.

“Actually, I’ve risked my life countless times in the past to level up on my own. So personally speaking, I don’t really like this method, but…”

〈Is that so?〉

〈Then why are you doing it?〉

〈You’re being contradictory. LOL〉

“BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THATTTTTTTT!!!”

〈!?〉

〈THE HECK, NISHIDA?!〉

〈Don’t just yell out of nowhere! You scared me!〉

〈The sudden Yoshio Kojima insert is so funny LMAO!〉

While my viewers were still confused, I continued shouting my feelings.

“I really don’t want my adorable niece to do dangerous things like dungeon exploration! But you see, Koto is very stubborn despite her appearances! No matter how much I or the other adults try to talk her out of it, she will definitely do it someday! With or without our approval! So at least.. I want to reduce the risks as much as possible and the quickest way to do that is through power leveling! I need to level her up!”

〈I see.〉

〈Got it.〉

〈…Power leveling is necessary. Alright. Got it.〉

〈Man… Calm down, Old Man. Lmao.〉

“The least I can do as her uncle is to raise Koto’s level in the most efficient and quickest way. At least she needs to be strong enough not to lose against lower level monsters!”

〈Lower levels? That’s pretty tough.〉

〈Does that mean Koto-chan needs to be at least B-rank explorer?〉

〈But she’s still F-rank right now…〉

〈How much power leveling we’re talking about now?〉

〈And while we’re having this conversation, Nishida already caught 6 monsters!〉

〈You’re right! LMAOOO!! Just when did he do that?!〉

The monsters under my control headed toward where Koto and the others were while I continued searching for more monsters and beat them to pulp before sending them to Koto again.

“Alright. This should be enough. Let’s head back for now.”

Upon returning to the 20th floor…

“Ke-Ken-san?! Do-Don’t you think there are too many monsters around?!”

“Huh…?’

As soon as Miku Kanamoto spotted me, she came running to me while screaming. Indeed. The whole area was overflowing with deep level monsters.

〈Monsters everywhere. LOLLL〉

〈It looks like a banquet of monsters. LMAO〉

〈There should be 100 monsters at least.〉

〈And they’re all big monsters from the deep levels too! Lmaoooo!〉

〈I’d be scared if I were them even if I knew the monsters wouldn’t attack me.〉

〈A man who knows no bounds. That is Nishida.〉

〈Another ‘did I do something incredible..?’ moment.〉

〈No, but, is there no limit to how man monsters you can control?! The heck? That skill is broken, man!!〉

“I might have gotten a bit carried away, but… Is Koto doing alright?”

Flustered, I quickly searched for her. There, I spotted her small figure moving energetically while being buried in between the shadow of the gigantic deep level monsters.

“Eiii!!”

Thud!

“Yaaaa!”

Thud!

“Thaaaaa!!”

Thud!

Everytime Koto swung her battle axe with great vigor, parts of the monsters’ bodies shattered into the air. There was no hint of hesitation in her movement. In fact, she looked like she was having so much fun.

“Amazing… I can feel myself getting stronger and stronger with each monster I defeat!”

〈The birth of Berserker Koto-chan. LMAOOO!!〉

〈Even though she looks like the demure type…〉

〈She looks cute, but she fights like a gorilla!〉

〈Don’t call a young girl a gorilla!〉

〈It’s fine, isn’t?! I love the gap moe!〉

〈As expected of Nishida’s niece. She’s going to have a bright future as an explorer!〉

“Ahahaha…If I’m not careful, I might get eft behind! I need to do my best too!”

Inspired by her junior, Miku Kanamoto also started taking down the monsters with great vigor. And so, the two of them managed to defeat over 100 monsters in no time.

〈Piles of monster corpses! LMAOOOO!〉

〈And they’re all deep level monsters, right?〉

〈This is power leveling, in every sense of the word.〉

“Haaah… Haaah.. I’m exhausted…”

“Ye-Yeah… But! It was fun! Fighting alongside Miku-senpai is so much fun…!”

“…Was it really ‘alongside’…? I felt like we were each doing our own thing though,,,:

I was cleaning up the corpses of deep level monsters that filled the whole area when I said..

“Alright. Let’s take a break for now.”

“”For now?””

I told them and they tilted their heads in confusion to me.

“Yeah. You two managed to clear the monsters faster than I expected, so I thought we could go for another 100 or more.”

“”ANOTHER 100 OR MORE?!””
