Konbini Ossan Volume 3 Chapter 19 — The Multi-Dungeon near the Capital

Editor:
A few days later, with Isabella’s permission granted, Rosa-chan was able to join us on the dungeon expedition.

After several more days of preparation, we were finally ready to head to the dungeon Maria had recommended.

Thus, we arrived at the large dungeon on the outskirts of the royal capital, commonly called the "Multi-Dungeon".

This so-called Multi-Dungeon was, more precisely, several mid-sized dungeons that had become connected within.

Because of that, it offered a wide variety of resources, yet its difficulty remained very low for a dungeon of its scale.

It was extremely convenient not only for adventurers but also for the kingdom.

That such a convenient dungeon existed right next to the capital almost seemed too good to be true.

But in truth, it was probably the other way around. Cities like the royal capital had developed precisely because valuable dungeons like this one were nearby.

In other words, people built the city here because the dungeon made it convenient.


“Well then, shall we?”


Standing at the entrance of the Multi-Dungeon, I called to those behind me — Joan-kun, Rosa-chan, Tiana-chan, Tio-kun, and finally Arisa at the rear.


“I’m so pumped for this! Right, Rosa?”


“Yeah. I’m a little scared, but if Otsugi-ojichan is here, then I’ll be fine.”


Rosa-chan and Joan-kun chatted cheerfully.


“We can both use simple spells, so please let us help with the fighting.”


“Me too. Ojisan, I’ll be counting on you.”


Tio-kun and Tiana-chan looked full of determination.


“I’ll keep an eye on the kids so they don’t get separated. Old man, you just focus on taking down the monsters.”

Arisa volunteered to guard the rear.


“Leave it to me. I should be able to handle all the monsters myself, so there won’t be any problems.”


According to Maria’s information, the strongest monsters in the Multi-Dungeon were only around the C rank in stats.

Even then, that was limited to the so-called floor bosses — the equivalent of what games would call a "boss monster."

Since the dungeon was so popular, all traps had long been removed. The pathways were maintained, and there were hardly any blind spots.

Years of continuous exploration for resources had left it thoroughly cultivated.

Incidentally, research had revealed that dungeons themselves were a kind of monster. In other words, they were monsters that produced other monsters.

Inside, they held vast magical spaces and endlessly spawned the types of monsters unique to each dungeon.

Why dungeons behaved this way was still unknown. The most widely accepted theory was that there was no real purpose behind it.

Much like how creatures with weak reproductive abilities had been weeded out by natural selection, by chance, some monster with the ability to spawn other monsters survived.

Those that persisted became what we now call dungeons.

Of course, there were also more dubious theories — that they were divine relics left to mankind by the gods of old, and so on.

I shook off the idle thoughts. Now was the time for dungeon exploration. For gathering resources and leveling up.


“First, let me see everyone’s status. Since this is power-leveling, I want to know how much you’ll grow.”


At my request, the five of them each revealed their status plates.

Overall, just as I had expected. Tiana-chan and Tio-kun, both aspiring adventurers, had slightly higher stats, while Rosa’s were lower.

What surprised me was that every one of them had either a skill or an attribute. Especially Rosa and Joan.

Perhaps these four children really did possess the talent to become adventurers.

E/N:

I apologise for the delayed upload, got too tired and slept like a log the day before. As an apology, 2 chappys today! (1/2 chapter)

Let's make these kiddos strong as h*ll! Stay tuned!

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:

                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
