 When Shia swings her sword at my instructions, the enemy turn into pieces. Amane and I run behind Shia towards the stairs.

 

“Do you know how ridiculous the two of you are?”

 

“What?”

 

 Amane mutters next to me with a dumbfounded face, but I tilt my head because I don't understand what she's saying.

 

“Haa … no, it's fine.”

 

“Is that so? That's fine, then.”

 

 Amane mutters in amazement and puts her hand on her forehead and resolves herself.

 

“Stairs.”

 

 We quickly find the stairs and reach the next floor.

 

“Let's proceed a little more carefully from here on.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“I don't think you need to be so cautious.”

 

 When Shia and I proceed through the second floor while being cautious, Amane is stunned behind us and mutters with her hands behind her head.

 

“Idiot. Don't underestimate the dungeon.”

 

“Yees.”

 

 When I warn her with a serious voice, Amane replies reluctantly.

 The second floor is full of normal monsters, just like before Golden Week, and there are no signs of Bonus Monsters appearing. I wonder under what conditions the Bonus Monsters come out.

 

 Is it possible to encounter them only during the first capture?

 

 I've never heard of it, but it's possible. I haven't seen them even once since then.

 

“Hmm, I guess we didn't meet them again today?”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“Hey, there really aren't any monsters that strong.”

 

 See, Amane makes fun of us.

 

 If I show the magic stones they dropped, surely she will probably trust me, but they're in the shadows.

 

 Amane can't be trusted, so I don't want to show my shadow power.

 

 She's honest and can't hide anything, so maybe I don't need to be so cautious, but Luck's power is top secret.

 

 I'll accept criticism here, but that doesn't mean that I'll stay silent.

 

“You're noisy. I definitely met them. At that time, I was the only one there, so Shia didn't meet them either, so I can't prove it.”

 

“I see. So? What are you going to do? For now, should we go to the third floor?”

 

 Amane cuts off my words and asks me what we're going to do from now on.

 

“Aah, it's Friday, so I think we'll go as far as we can.”

 

“Ok. Well, you should do it until you're satisfied.”

 

 Unlike the atmosphere just before, Amane suddenly becomes cooperative.

 

 What? What the hell is this guy up to?

 

“Huh? What's wrong? You're awfully obedient.”

 

“Not at all. I'm free even if I go home, so I just thought I'd go out with you.”

 

“Hmm. Well, that's fine. Shall we go to the third floor then?”

 

“Hmm.” “Yes, yes.”

 

 We go straight to the stairs and rush straight to the third floor.

 

“Hmm. There doesn't seem to be anything unusal about it.”

 

“Right?”

 

“For now, let's fight the closest monsters first.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

 We decide to hunt the nearby monsters first.

 

 After that, only normal D-rank monsters came out. As I already knew from the signs, there was no sign of a strong monster appearing.

 

“They didn't come out.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“Are you done?”

 

 After all, I tried defeating all the monsters on the third floor, but no Bonus Monsters appeared.

 

 What on earth is the condition to spawn the Bonus Monsters …

 

 Is it just the first time …

 

“No, if this happens, I'll go all the way to the last floor!!”

 

“Hmm!!”

 

 Since this happened, I decide to rush to the last floor and test my strength.

 

 I don't know what I don't know, even if I think about it.

 

 Rather than that, I was able to defeat an estimated C-rank monster in the stray dungeon. In other words, it means that the Hidden Test is being completely smoothly.

 

“Eeh!? I didn't bring any tools for my stay!?”

 

“No, you don't need to come along with us, do you?”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 I told the surprised Amane that Shia and I wouldn't go home.

 

“Haa!? That's no good!! I'll be with you until the end!!”

 

 However, that plan completely backfired, and Amane suddenly becomes motivated.

 

 Tsk. Did I fail to notice this character?

 

 She seems to be very competitive.

 

 Even though she's no good with insects.

 

“Haa … You can follow us, but please don't get in our way.”

 

“I know.”

 

 We reached the 10th floor that day.

 

“Phew. No Bonus Monster at all came out so far.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 After defeating the monster that Shia decided to defeat as the last one for today, we look back on today.

 

 Although it was good to come to the 10th floor, I was not able to meet any monsters that were worthy of a challenge. No, maybe it's because my proficiency has increased.

 

 If I think about it that way, it makes sense.

 

 I fought them before my active proficiencies evolved. I wonder if that has gone up and now even enemies of the same level can be defeated in one shot.

 

 No … It's not, because the signs are different.

 

“Haa … Haa … Do you guys always do this?”

 

 Amane, who was following us, takes a deep breath and asks us with a confused expression.

 

“Hmm? That's right?”

 

“How much physical strength do you have …”

 

“This is normal for an explorer.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“That's not true!!”

 

 For some reason, Amane went mad.

 

 I wonder what this guy is saying …

 

 On the contrary, this guy has less physical strength than I expected for a B-rank.

 

 Aah!!

 

 Ha ha. I got it.

 

 Isn't it the case where this guy is a B-rank and doesn't understand the Hidden Test?

 

 I think that by training the proficiency of the active system, the ability value including physical strength will rise. And yet, this guy probably hasn't raised her active proficiency at all.

 

 Like in a certain manga, not using it versus using it is a whole different dimension of power.(TN:Still no clue what manga he's referencing.)

 

 The reason she came with us today was she noticed that we were a bit strong for our rank, and came to find out the secret. That's why she suddenly pretended to be obedient and observed us.

 

 I completely understand.

 

“Well … How can I say it, do your best …”

 

“Mukii! What's with that face!! It's annoying!!”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“What are you doing!!”

 

 Shia and I look at Amane together as if we are looking at a disappointing creature. Perhaps Amane gets annoyed by our gaze and starts to rage.

 

“By the way, should we prepare for the camp?”

 

“Hmm.”

 

 Shia and I start preparing to pass the night with Amane.
