Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

"This is the end! <Shining Sabre of the Sacred Light>!"

"Guh-meow!? Grh......meow......"

"We did it!"

Lana's <Shining Sabre of the Sacred Light> slammed into the <Meowlantis of the Wave Cat>, the field boss of the 20th floor, reaping its silver lining of HP as it disappeared amidst the sea of light particles.

The fight this time was undertaken by Team B alone, with Team A watching from the sideline, a reverse case from the 10th floor boss battle.

As they saw the disappearance of <Meowlantis>, Lana and party gave a high-five to each other. The battle was over so we approached Team B.

"Good job, everyone. That was a wonderful victory."

"Fufu, right?"

Ohh, here comes Lana's signature smug face. Well, she did indeed contributed the most in this fight, since boss's weakness was magic. Furthermore, she was also getting increasingly dissatisfied that she couldn't struck down the cat monsters properly, so it just helped her blow out her steam.

"It was indeed a tough opponent but we managed to take it down without you. I think we can somehow handle things later."

Sierra joined in.

"You can do it. Your performance was also splendid. I think Int-mid shouldn't pose any obstacle to you if you keep this up."

"You were great, Sierra-san. Here, have some water."

"Thank you."

This battle against the field boss was really a first-time experience for the <Eden>. A battle where they challenged the frontline boss with a party without me. Usually, I, in a party, would step forward to show them the ropes.

Sierra didn't let it out but she seemed to be a bit nervous. I was a bit glad that she relied on me.

However, even from my perspective, Sierra's abilities as a tank was without a doubt flawless. She was as steadfast as a mountain. The shield in her hand never wavered as she faced the boss she had never fought before. She has improved herself even more than the time she was during Int-low exploration.

'You don't have to be so unnerved', I advised her.

She finally calmed down as she received the water bottle from assistant group Hannah. She also handed the water bottle to other members of Team B, easing their tense spirit.

Once they had calmed down, it was time for the long-awaited treasure chest.

"<Silver Chest> is it, huh."

"What's the meaning of ot? Why is it not <Gold Chest> even with <Coin>?"

Hearing Ester reporting about the treasure chest, Lana turned down and demanded an explanation.

"<Coin> is yet to be strengthened. Dungeon time ends here for today so I will have it done by tomorrow."

With the meager skill level of one as its initial ability, the best it could do was raise the probability of <Gold Chest> by a slight margin.

I couldn't wait to quickly strengthen it as well. It was finally the time to bring the <Skill Reinforcement Jewel> we had stocked up to use.

"But boss drops has increased in quantity."

"Hmm, indeed. Is it the ability of <Coin>?"

As Sierra pointed out, there was one more extra piece of boss drop. Though the reaction was a bit mild. Well, I guess so. Everyone has witnessed the sight of double drops appearing as Pamela swung around her <Demolition Blade> on the way.

In fact, Pamela herself was quite excited about it as she assertively moved around to deal the finishing blow. It was a bit inconvenient to deliberately give the chance to her, but <Demolition Blade> itself came with <Animal Killer LV5> so it was at least not that hard to finish them off. It apparently helped in dealing a finishing blow more easily.

We gathered around the <Silver Chest> and witnessed as Lana opened it---who won the rock-paper-scissors round.

"I am opening it! ............What is that?"

The thing that she pulled out from the treasure chest was a cat teaser. A pink color toy that could be found in any pet shop.

"What is it, Zephyr?"

"It's an item to use during taming. It's name is <Master Craftsman's Cat Teaser>. It is a rare item that drastically boosts the success rate of taming a cat type monster when a <Tamer> attempts it."

This was another item from the fortune cat series, and likewise, it had a higher chance to drop in <Cat-Dun>.

Since they were monsters that appeared alone, they were absolutely stronger than most. Their attribute value was equally much better than normal monsters.

But it's also because of these reasons that the success rate of taming was considerably low. No, considerably would be an understatement I guess. The probability of failing was in fact 99% through normal means.

That's why <Master Craftsman's Cat Teaser> was an indispensable item in that moment.

Everyone looked at the cat teaser in Lana's hand with admiration hearing my explanation. Though, Ester only muttered 'Tame...' that pulled my attention towards her. You know you can't, right?

"Alright guys, it's soon going to be dark so we are going to wrap up here."

"Yeah. We have managed to reach 20th floor as planned at least."

"I was really worried for a moment when everyone suddenly decided to have a cat-viewing picnic event on the first floor."

As I raised my voice to end the exploration for today here, Sierra said with a sigh, apparently glad that we didn't fall behind in the schedule. No, seriously. I was really nervous if we could do it or not. I had made up my mind to go on full sprint mode with the Ester's carriage in case we fall behind. Fortunately, we managed to pull it.

Everyone registered themselves on the 20th floor teleportation circle and from there, we left. Before leaving, Lana had asked me, "Say, Ester looks like she really wants this cat teaser. How about I give it to her?"

"......You can't."

I was having an uneasy foreboding to have <Master Craftsman's Cat Teaser> so I took it in my custody. And Ester, be content with normal cat teaser.

Afterward, I visited untalkative Gant-senpai's shop to have both <Gold Cat Coin> fully enhanced with <Skill Reinforcement Jewel> and call it a day there.

We had been steadily stocking up <Skill Reinforcement Jewel> from the <Silver Chest> until now, so there were still plenty left. Makes me wonder if we would be able to encounter <Golden Meow-Meow> again~.
