Chapter 59

"Alright, I'll put in some effort and try hard again from tomorrow. Yeah!"

And that was all well and good, until—

"It's because of the cooldown that I couldn't do it."

When I got back home, I muttered this to myself in my room.

The dungeons I've challenged so far are Shizune Dungeon, Arakawa Dungeon, Yuzunagi Dungeon, Yumei Dungeon, and Kenzaki Dungeon—five in total. And I managed to clear all of them today.

Even if I wanted to challenge other dungeons, I would need a one-week cooldown period before I could attempt them again.

"Hmm, maybe I should have visited the other dungeons before going to Kenzaki Dungeon."

If I had challenged multiple dungeons without clearing them, I could have aimed to clear the next dungeon without waiting for the cooldown.

However, this is just hindsight.

At least, I made that decision with a clear purpose before challenging Kenzaki Dungeon.

The reason is that many dungeons of C-rank and above offer bonus rewards for the first challenge, and I wanted to get those if possible.

Furthermore, many of these dungeons have high recommended levels for clearing, so by clearing Kenzaki Dungeon first, I aimed to achieve sufficient level-ups and gain experience in clearing C-rank dungeons.

However, upon rethinking my plan, I realized that it wasn't necessary.

"The bonus rewards from the C-rank dungeons I planned to challenge were long swords and short swords, all of which are quite excellent... but I've already obtained something even better."

Of course, that "something better" is the unnamed sword.

Combined with the effects of the title "Unnamed Sword Master," it has become quite a cheat weapon.

The fact that I was able to defeat the Orc General is largely thanks to this sword.

Therefore, I no longer need to clear dungeons with swords as bonus rewards on my first attempt.

"However, this means I can now visit various dungeons without any hesitation."

This will significantly improve my level-up and clear efficiency.

I should be able to grow at an even faster pace.

The remaining issue is how to spend this one-week period.

"Actually, I'd like to hunt Red Boars in Kenzaki Dungeon to earn money, but it's gone... Even if I were to dive into a D-rank dungeon now, I wouldn't be able to level up much, and I wouldn't earn much money... Well, I might as well take a good rest for the first time in a while!"

I've been diving into dungeons almost non-stop for about a month.

It's fine to take a longer break once in a while.

So, I decided to take a one-week vacation.

Three days later.

I received a message from Kurozaki Rei just as I was getting bored with my vacation.
