Volume 2 Chapter 11 Normal Operations Today as Well
Revision: Two-handed -> Dual wielding
<hr/>
Now then, during this Status Disguise, I found myself troubled by another matter.
The thing is,
"If I keep it at level 2, the restrictions might be too strong, making it unnatural to defeat higher-ranked monsters, right...?"
Yes, I intended to set the level for Disguise at '2', but it felt quite unnatural to be taking down monsters left and right, so I decided to raise it from '2' to '7'.
Additionally,
"Maybe it's better if I have some kind of skill too...?"
I thought, even if the level is low, having a 'powerful skill' might make it less unnatural to take down higher-ranked monsters...
So, I opened the details of the 'skill section' within my original status to see if there were any good 'otherworldly skills' available.
Then,
"Oh, by the way, I remember *this one*! It's nostalgic~! But in the other world, I only used it at the beginning..."
The skill I found was 'Dual wielding (Advanced)'.
This is, quite literally, a swordsmanship style that uses '2 swords', which I acquired when I first teleported to the other world.
Skills in the other world can be obtained in 3 ways: by gaining levels from defeating monsters, purchasing them at shops, or finding treasures in dungeons and ruins... 'Dual wielding (Advanced)' was one that I obtained from defeating a monster.
Though it's an orthodox skill in the other world, I had admired the Dual wielding skill technique from the SA◯ series, and when I first acquired it, I hunted monsters relentlessly to hone that skill.
However, due to lacking powerful weapons for the Dual wielding skill, its usage frequency decreased and as a result, it only grew to 'Advanced'.
That said, the 'skill: Dual wielding (Advanced)' states, "Equipping Dual wielding increases attack power by 25% and agility by 40%," so I decided to add 'Dual wielding (Advanced)' to my status.
As a result, I applied statusDisguise, and this is how it turned out.

Yuki Takeru
level: 7
skill: Dual wielding
──────────────────
Yeah, I was able to create a status that matches my image of being a 'dungeon beginner, but with a good skill set to take down some monsters.'
Ahem!
By the way, in the status panel of the modern world, the skill rankings like '(Extreme)' that can be obtained in another world are not displayed.
This is probably because skills obtained here in the modern world don't have ranks.
So, with my status Disguise, I am currently,
"Heyyyy!"
"Gyaah!?"
"Gugaaah!"
I took down 2 'Hunter Goblins,' which are slightly stronger than normal goblins, in one swift move.
"Wow! Nice job, Takeru-kun!"
"Whoa!? You're really something, Takeru!"
Yeah, this feels good!
Besides, both of them don't seem to feel any sense of discomfort about 'this level of strength.'
It seems this level of power was just right.

Now, we were making our way to the 8th floor, but at that moment,
"This is our first dungeon exploration as a clan, but at this rate, we might be able to handle the boss on the 9th floor, which is in the 'Upper Floors'... what do you think?"
Rie-tan asked.
"Uhmm, do you think we can? I'm not so sure..."
"It's fine. I'll support you if anything happens."
"Huh? Y-You're not thinking of making me and Takeru do it alone again, are you?"
"That's right. If I joined, it would wrap up too quickly. Also, considering leveling up, it's better if you two defeat it without me. The experience points will be different."
"......W-well, I got it. But, a Goblin Knight, huh? Can we really handle that? "
"It's fine, it's fine. Sagawa's level has risen by 2, so he's now at '13'. What about you, Takeru-kun? ...oh, by the way, hasn't your level gone up? "
"Huh? Yeah. I'm still at level '7'."
""What!?""
"Huh? W-why are you so...... shocked?"
Huh?
What?
Is this move...... one of those "I messed up!" kind of situations!?
"Ah, well...... I guess it happens sometimes, right? N-right, Amamiya? "
"Y-yes, that's true. Ah-ha, ahahaha......"

......Sagawa Suguru
(Seriously, even if it's a lie, you should at least say your level went up! It's ridiculous that a newbie in the first dungeon comes to the 8th floor and hasn't leveled up! I'm saying I leveled up by '2' while being at a higher level than you! Can't you realize that?! But, this guy is definitely like Kisaragi-san said, he must have a skill to Disguise his status. If that's true, what could his actual level be?)
......Amamiya Rie
(As I thought, it's clear that Takeru-kun is Disguising his status. His original level must be much higher than '7'... But, I know he has the skill to Disguise his status, yet it should only hide that status and not lower his *actual level*. However, watching Takeru-kun move, while that 'Dual wielding skill' seems suspicious, his physical ability truly looks 'level 7'. What could this mean?)
──────────────────
The two were pondering over Takeru, but were skillfully acting so as not to let him notice.
And Takeru was completely oblivious to their concerns, rather,
(Huh... It seems my Status Disguise and my maneuvering are perfect this time.)
I was lost in thoughts that were a bit too far ahead.
Today is just another day of routine.
