Chapter 6 Conviction

[I have a feeling that we are about to be involved in a troublesome matter]

Misha said this but did not tell me what the specific matter is about.

Misha added on,
[If only you have a sense of danger, that would be for the best]

One week after I began entering the dungeon,
I am already Lv 7.

Keiji
Lv 7
Occupation: Warrior
Strength: 64
Magic Power: 34
Attack Power: 58
Defence Power: 57
Agility: 61
Intelligence: 53
Ability: Piercing, Scanning
Others: Being raised by a cat

[Oo! My occupation became (Warrior)!]
Although my magic power is on the lower end of the spectrum, my physical stats should be on the stronger side.
Hence, the status determines (that my occupation) is warrior.

I am still quite weak, but compared to (my status) at the beginning, I have grown a lot stronger.
[That’s right ne~, it is about time to change your leather armour into metal based armour. You should have the physical strength to wear metal amour.
[Armour is it…. I remember cheap metal armour would cost roughly 250000 yen]
Unconsciously, I used the j.a.panese yen to calculate. This is because it is easier to understand (the price).

Custom-made metal armour would cost at least 2 to 3 million yen.
If it is not custom-made armour but ma.s.s produced armour for normal solider, even second half goods will cost 250000 yen.

Zombie and lizard will appear around bas.e.m.e.nt 7th floor, and as the monster will be slight stronger, the magic stone will be bigger and more money could be earn so our saving will also increase.
[Maa, I can only work hard to save up the money]

[Nee~, lend me your ear]
Slightly, Misha’s expression gave off a very serious atmosphere.
I immediately positioned my ear next to Misha’s mouth.
[Goshujinsama, have you made up your conviction?]

After hearing what Misha said, I nodded my head.
[Of course I have. If not, Misha might get involved in some danger] (T.L. For my cat, I might even be able to defeat the demon king) (E.D I see what you did there =w=)b ) (T.L. Uchi no Musume is an awesome novel if anyone have not read it)

I started walking slowly ahead

And then, I reached bas.e.m.e.nt’s 5th floor. (T.L. I change ‘underground 5th floor’ to bas.e.m.e.nt 5th floor from previous chapters)

(I) walked down a narrow aisle and both end of the road were blocked.

There are no (presence) of any monsters.

But there are humans.

There are 4 adventurers who are about Lv 10 judging by their equipment.

The two people in front of me were laughing (with a) ‘niyaniya’ (sound). (T.L. The MC is surrounded from both the front and the back)
The two men were both about 25 years of age.
One of the man has his hair swept to one side, while the other man has a huge injury (scar) on his face. (T.L. I don’t really know how to describe someone hairstyle…. This is the best I can do)

The two men behind are slightly older, but I know that their personality is rotten judging by the facial expressions that they are making.

[What do you need from me?]

I spoke in a slight stiff voice.

[Today’s (earnings can still be) considered okay. All the items added up has a total value of roughly 10000 coins. If we include the money on hand, it will be even more]
The man with the swept hair said.
[What is that about?] (E.D. MC say dis)
[After we kill you, that is the possession we will gain] (E.D. Bad guy say dis)

Adventurer hunter (T.L I think adventure
var infolinks_pid = 2003024;var infolinks_wsid = 13;
r killer sounds nicer)

They specialized in killing adventurers and robbing their possessions.
This is illegal of course.
If this matter comes to light, they will not be let off with just an expulsion from the guild. They might even be sentenced to death.
Because it is highly probable that these people are murderers. (T.L I am confused at this this and the previous sentence)

Despite (the punishment), such b.a.s.t.a.r.ds still exist.

There are two reasons (as to why they do this).

Firstly, it is more efficient than killing monsters.
Even in j.a.pan, there would be people committing robberies for just 200,000 or 300,000 yen.
It is not strange that there are this kind of people in this world.

The second reason —-

[If you are slightly stronger, it would make our job more difficult, Kuroneko Keiji] (T.L The robber is calling our MC a nickname – black cat Keiji)
[Kuroneko Keiji? I even have a nickname]

It is the same in games, as it becomes harder to level up  the higher your level is.
I raised from Lv 1 to Lv 7 within one week.
It is all thanks to Misha that my level increases so fast.
Normal adventurers do not have recovery skills so they could only fight on the lower leveled floors, and once faced with danger they would have to return to the surface.

However, leveling up from Lv 11 to Lv 17 requires a lot of time, hard work and effort.
There is not even a single Lv 30 in the guild as it will take a lot of time to reach that level.
Because of this, there are people who gave up after Lv 10.

Hence, (they can) only leisurely spend their time around bas.e.m.e.nt 10th floor. (T.L I do not how to translate this…. だらだらする?)
It seems that there are more people who spend their time leisurely than I thought.
Of course, this would also lead to a conflict of interests.
Therefore, there are also some people who kill those adventurers with potential to prevent their interests from being stolen.

[Maa, you also have to take half of the responsibility, Kuroneko Keiji. You will not be faced with such a situation if you formed a party. Just sealing your mouth will be easy since you are alone]

Certainly there is no evidence since the only victim (who is the only witness) is killed.

[You guys, listen up]
My voice is colder than what I imagine.
[If you want to kill me, don’t complain if I also killed all of you. Is that okay? I will treat it as self-defense and kill you all]

[Such a possibility does not exist since the start. I will kill you together with your Kuro Neko]

The man with the swept hair attempted to stab me with his sword on one hand.
Foot steps were also heard from my back.

[Misha, I leave my back to you!]

At the same time as I shouted, I blocked the attack from the man with the swept hair.
I am not so weak that I will be struck down with one hit.

Subsequently, the man with a scar on his face attacked with his axe but I also blocked his attack.
Good, the first round of attacks were blocked.

That should be enough.

I looked at the two men that I am facing.

(They have) a shocked expression.

[Wh, Wha what…. Why would a cat do….]

I did not even have to turn my head around.
The two men behind my back should have been done in by Misha.

[Did you think that Goshujinsama entered the dungeon alone?]

This voice is from Misha.

[Unfortunately, he formed a party with me]

[You, by any chance, a high ranking summon….?]

It’s not something like a witch craft though.

At the moment when the man with swept hair felt fear,
I stabbed between the gap in his armour.

The man with the swept hair could not avoid in time, and I cut his body.
[Ouch!]
Even though I am Lv 7, you will still die if you are too careless.
Maa, it seems that its not to the level of fatal injury.
However, the victory is already ours.

Misha suddenly dashed over,
And easily knocked the two men onto the wall.

It seems that she did not use her full strength as the guy with the swept hair is still alive.

[He, help…. Me….]
The guy with the swept hair said with a weak voice.

Misha looked towards me.
I did not say anything but just nodded my head.

I have already made my conviction.
[I want to kill you, because you already know the secret of Misha and me] (T.L. You know too much hehehe, you can’t walk out of here alive now)

Since he knew that Misha could speak, I do not plan to let him survive.

I deal the final blow to the man.
