Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

Ais tilted her head, looking at Loki whose smile was growing increasingly arrogant, not understanding why she brought up this topic that seemed to be mentioned every time her stats were updated.

"But you haven't really listened to us much, whether it's on expeditions or in ordinary times. Reports about your recklessness keep flying to Finn and Riveria."

"...Sorry?" Like a small animal, Ais, who was called out, adorably shrank back.

"Ugh, Aistan is still so cute when she's apologizing... cough cough cough, now's not the time to think about that, hmm," Loki mumbled incoherently, then cleared his throat and said quietly, "Ais, do you remember what I told you before the hunt started?"

Before Ais could even speak, Loki interrupted:

"That's right, this world is not a place where you can hunt at will."

Furthermore, we can't stay in this world forever. This world is the home of Blaze, while Orario is our true home. The reason we can travel back and forth between this world is entirely due to Blaze's abilities, and our ability to hunt is also thanks to Blaze.

"In other words, if you continue to enter the dungeon from time to time like before, you might miss the Flame quest."

Ais: !!

Oh no, Loki has us cornered!

Ais's doll-like face immediately showed a troubled look. Her heart was wavering between the dungeons that she could run anytime and anywhere and the hunting missions on the Flame side that she could stay at the base and see if she could get them.

"This this……"

Caught in a dilemma, Ais puffed out her cheeks in anger, looking at Loki with eyes full of resentment, just like a hamster.

Why remind her of such a cruel thing? Loki is so wicked!

"Hiss—ah, Aistan's gaze is so fresh! Please look at me like that more often!"

In an instant, the complaining look turned into disdain.

Ais's gaze was icy as she stood up and left. However, as she reached the door, she seemed to remember something and asked:

"How much has Lieyan grown?"

"Him? You'll find out when the time comes." Remembering the power boost he'd given Flame, Loki chuckled, waved his hand dismissively, and said meaningfully, "Who knows, he might even come looking for your help later..."

"Looking for my help?"

Stepping out of Loki's room, Ais was still a little disoriented, but the next moment, her close friends, who had been waiting at Loki's door for a long time, swarmed around her and led her to the agreed-upon place, and she could only put the problem aside for the time being.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Meanwhile, in the room, Lieyan stared into silence at the parchment in his hand that recorded the changes in his ability values.

Blazing Flame: LV·1

[Ability value]

Power: F358 → E422

Durability: G200→G205

Dexterity: D546→C600

Agility: D520→D581

Magic: I13 → I15

"Are both Agility and Dexterity almost at their maximum levels...?"

Looking at the ability values ​​recorded on the parchment, Blazing Flame sighed softly.

Although Loki had mentioned this before, to be honest, Blaze really didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Capturing a Rock Dragon and hunting a Barroth were two consecutive battles that were in no way inferior in quality to any of the battles that Blaze had experienced before.

However, judging from the data that ultimately reflects on him, the growth rate of the two abilities of Agility and Dexterity is decreasing. At the beginning, a single Overlord Blue Bear Beast could increase his abilities by 200 points, but later it took five monsters to increase them by 200 points, and now, a two-battle series of battles with High-Rank Rock Dragon and High-Rank Sand Dragon only increased his abilities by a few dozen points.

That is to say...

It's time to start training in endurance and strength.

Having been gone for so long, I wonder if the Minotaur in the middle level still remembers his old friend.

But it doesn't matter. Even if they don't remember, he will find a way to make the cows recognize him again, and he will also introduce them to a newer way to play.

A ground-mounted chainsaw!

Hehehe, hehehehe!!

Testimonials

Dear readers, this is to inform you.

Well, actually, this is the legendary launch message.

This book will be available tomorrow.

To be honest, I don't have any strong feelings about it, since this isn't the author's first book. ~~( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~~

I have some thoughts, but not many; that's roughly the gist of it.

First of all, thank you all for watching this far.

I read every single post and comment, and I've replied to most of them.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but in some cases, authors of chapters that no one else posts will pitifully post one for themselves.

cough cough cough.

While some comments were quite sharp, the overall tone was harmonious.

Love and peace are indeed wonderful things.

Thank you all for keeping the author alive.

Many thanks.

But as usual, I'll play the victim and beg for subscriptions.

I'll also set up a small bounty.

Let's base it on the number of followers. After the book goes live tomorrow, I'll add an extra chapter for every 500 followers.

If only I could have three thousand...

Then the author will update three times a day.

If I had four thousand, I'd be even better with four a day.

However, this book currently only has six thousand favorites, so three or four thousand seems unlikely, hehe.

So be it.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish all my readers a happy holiday and a joyous family reunion.

Respect and love for tomorrow.

Chapter 59: Exposed? (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, please subscribe!)

"Dang Dang Dang."

"Enter."

A knock came at the door, and Blaze looked toward the entrance. Peeking out, he saw Raul, who had officially become the mouthpiece for conveying Finn's will to Blaze.

"Mr. Flame, Captain Finn needs to speak with you. Also, thank you for the medicine you gave me before."

Raul conveyed the commander's will with an overly formal attitude, and then thanked Blaze for an unexpected reason.

"Did you encounter something unusual in the dungeon?"

Flame, who had gotten up and was leaving, followed Raul and asked in a low voice.

"Ah, yes, I was doused with the corrosive liquid of the new monster and almost died," Raul said, raising his hand to touch his nose with lingering fear. "Luckily, I had your antidote, Mr. Flame. After sprinkling some dust and taking the internal antidote, I was out of danger in no time."

"I see. It's good that it's come in handy."

"Actually, everyone else has also received Mr. Lieyan's kindness, but no one dares to bother him. Even those who have traveled with you many times and Anqi are the same, hahaha."

As if they were having a casual chat, Raul, acting like an older brother who looked down on his younger siblings, complained about their less-than-ideal behavior, while Flame smiled slightly upon hearing this.

To be honest, the atmosphere within the Loki Familia is indeed very comfortable.

There was one thing that Lieyan was very concerned about.

What kind of image does he have in the eyes of the lower-ranking members of the Loki Familia right now...?

Finn had previously labeled him an apothecary, giving him all the popular Monster Hunter potions currently available in the clan. This was his initial image as an apothecary. After that, he led the Second Army into the dungeon to brutally fight the Minotaur, using a giant sword and shield and heavy armor.

A two-meter-tall Templar Knight who also works as a pharmacist?

Or is it a berserker apothecary wielding massive weapons?

Hmm—it seems a bit unreasonable not to use it as a hunting horn as well…

But you know what, the long-handled hammer actually seems quite suitable for me right now, since I need to train my strength and endurance.

Thinking of this, Lieyan's eyes lit up.

First of all, the shape and center of gravity of the long-handled hammer are extremely special. To use the long-handled hammer normally, you must always keep your balance on the side of the lever that requires more effort. The ability to carry heavy loads is definitely no less than running around with a greatsword on your back. Secondly, this thing can also apply three buffs: attack, defense, and health recovery. Whether in training with fellow members of the same clan or in battle against the Minotaur, it can further improve the tolerance for mistakes and the endurance.

Perfect, absolutely perfect.

Compared to the chainsaw, which only directly trains strength and whose durability can only be indirectly improved by carrying weight, the long-handled hammer, which can train both strength (carrying weight) and durability (taking hits), and can also heal itself and buff itself, is truly outclassed in terms of efficiency.

Most importantly, the hunting horn has virtually no learning curve; as long as you can swing it, it will make a sound, making it a model of something you can use right away.

Of course, any weapon is easy to learn but difficult to master, and the long-handled hammer is no exception. But he couldn't just abandon his shield and axe to hunt dragons with a long-handled hammer.

If you're just exercising with a long-handled hammer...

feasible!

Sigh, am I under some kind of curse where a lot of things suddenly happen whenever I try to rest? It looks like my planned rest is going to be ruined again...

But it's alright, at least everyone got to enjoy the hot springs and beautiful scenery of Yuyun Village. As for the rest, let's just leave it at that.

Furthermore, the fragments in my memory indicate that both the dungeon and the Flame Village are now at a critical juncture, so relaxing and taking a break should be put aside for now.

I'm not sad at all, really.

The flames of passion, silently weeping in his heart, quickened their pace. He desperately needed some work to numb his soul. Raul, though somewhat confused, obediently kept quiet and also sped up.
