Chaa having joined the SSS proceeds to explain how he created the gun and demonstrates by creating a nail out of dirt in a few minutes. Yuri manages to do the same in two hours, while Oyama and Hinata fail.
The underground that later becomes Guild had long already been in existence (it's in one of the first few levels that the above happens). Chaa explains he's only explored to the 22nd level because he feared he would not have supplies for the remaining levels.
While Hinata is away gathering supplies, Yuri remains in that room and has successfully created a toy windmill from dirt.
"How clever. With effort, you'll be able to make a gun."
"I won't do that sort of uninteresting thing. This windmill is awesome, isn't it?"
"Then, give it to me."
"No."
Yuri explains she has to make two more.
I did a headcount. Me, Oyama and Chaa.
Three people.
It really is for us, isn't it.
They go deeper into the underground and Yuri suddenly says "Hello" in English. When Hinata asks her why, Yuri explains she's wondering if underground people understand Japanese.
They encounter and subdue a heavily injured but violent "underground person", with injuries enough to scare Oyama. Yuri starts her interrogation, only for the "underground person" to respond:
"Are you in cohoots with that person..."
The "underground person" then mentions the existence of a Boss in the deepest underground.
"There's something like that?"
"That fellow said that fellow must be defeated in order to end the game..."
"Game..."
"So I must finish this with my own hands..."
"It won't end?"
"Huh?"
"This world won't end with just that. It'll just keep continuing on. We must use our own strength to change it. Don't worry, we're your allies. Join us."
Such a violent person wouldn't agree so easily.
"..."
That boy looked at Yurippe's face.
"...fine."
And the "underground person" apparently sets the record for being the quickest to join the party. He reveals his name to be Noda. Even as Yuri gives the orders for the group to defeat the Boss together, Noda brushes her off, saying that he's invincible with the Boss as his only enemy.
"I say, Noda-kun. We're a team. Nobody will fight alone."
"Only I can defeat that fellow."
He had started to walk already.
Oyama becomes more and more frightened as the party explores deeper. As they reach the 27th floor, a discussion about the "game world" and the Boss springs up. Hinata explains that this world is the afterlife and that the objective of the party is to take revenge on God (and wonders why it's him and not the leader who's saying this).
Noda disbelieves Hinata's words, believing this world to be a game. And for some reason, he had thought Yuri the main heroine. Chaa adds that Yuri is his wife.
Noda, hearing that he's not the main character, begins to BSOD. It gets worse when Yuri says he's a side/supporting character. Pushing Oyama away, Noda runs away from the party.
Yuri makes the decision not to chase after Noda, since they've come so far. Hinata, slightly frustrated, calls Yuri a "clever leader" with sarcasm. It leads to Yuri accusing Hinata of being jealous that Chaa had called her his wife.
It's Hinata's turn to ruminate as he wonders if he's really proven to be useless for the party now. In the end, he suggests that they go after Noda. Yuri's not interested but Chaa suggests they split the party: two go after Noda and the other two move forward.
"So, what do you think?"
Yurippe asked me.
Ah! I see the options!
·Search for Noda with Oyama
·Move deeper underground with Yurippe
·Change Yurippe's Equipment：Uniform→Swimsuit for playing Volleyball
The cursor keeps moving to and fro. (What is that third option! Even I don't understand!)
Hinata decides that he and Chaa should proceed to the Boss while Yurippe and Oyama search for Noda. Yuri's not happy with the decision, saying that she as leader should meet with the Boss.
Yuri then points at Chaa saying that Chaa is too meticulous to leave the final strike of the boss for her. Chaa agrees. (Hinata: Why are you admitting it!)
The end decision: Yuri and Hinata move to the Boss, Chaa and Oyama seek the missing Noda.
"Oh, speaking of which."
Not too long after, Yurippe seemed to deep in thought.
"What is it."
"The two of us haven't been alone for a while."
Aa, really. I've always been thinking of it. Did you only realise is now. How slow. Wait, is it because I'm bothered by it...
"Even arguing with each other seems like something from a long time ago."
"I'm sorry I don't remember fighting ach other before. I only have fresh memories of how you hit me."
"I'm just a female opponent. Or are you just weak? The one who defeated Chaa was me. Your only strength is falling from the roof. I fear for our future battles."
"I think it's because I haven't been serious yet."
"Serious, huh... When can you become serious?"
"That is, when you're in danger."
"Before that happens, you'll be defeated. You won't become serious if you yourslf are in danger?"
"It's my nature. I can't become serious for myself."
"Ah, Hinata-kun. I'm worried for you..."
I don't want to hear that from you.
"Hinata-kun, here."
"Eh?"
Yurippe handed me that toy windmill.
"What is this for?"
"I'm lending it to you. Don't you spoil it, okay?"
"Then hold it yourself."
"Take it as a temporary talisman. I've already wished on it that you won't die."
"Oh..."
I glanced at the windmill.
Isn't this a world where we can't die...
But she at least was worried for me...
“Thank you。” [Spoken in English]
I accepted the windmill, placing it in my pocket.
They reach what seems to be the lowest level of the underground. Hinata and Yuri have a conversation on the identity of the boss.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa-"
Having climbed down the ladder, Yuri covered her mouth with her hands and shouted.
Soon enough, we heard yaaa- yaaa-... the echos bouncing back.
"It's a really wide space. Why don't you try it? It's really comfortable."
"Even if it has its charms, won't this alert the Boss to our presence."
"I say, let me tell you something."
"What."
"The Final Boss... won't move."
"Why."
"The Final Boss exists to sit on its throne and sprout nonsense. That's why it won't charge and attack us."
...
Speaking of which.
The term "Final Boss" was first used by you.
Did you know that, Yurippe?
The "Final Boss" was indeed sitting and waiting for them, in the form of a girl.
"It's still the first form."
"What are you saying."
"When the HP is halved, the boss will change into something different."
Now that she said it, it really felt like it would happen.
"So, speak your lines now."
Yurippe raised her torch as if it was a sword to her opponent.
Not bad, but we were unarmed. If it really became a monster, what would we do?
"...it's a good morning."
So it said.
....
We waited for the rest of the speech.
...
"...let's start."
"How short!"
Leaving both Hinata and Yurippe speechless. One of them starts to complain about the lack of drama (read: an epic Final Boss speech), how the Final Boss speaks nothing of their journey.
"What are you?"
...
Waiting.
...
But it feels like she doesn't speak too much, her lips pressed firmly together.
"How shallow-minded."
That girl stood up.
The cape reveals a knife.
"Damn it, this person must be an angel. Good in battle too."
"The fight will start."
"How do we fight?"
"Thinking of how to fight is..."
"Looks like we don't have time left."
Just when I thought she had only stood up, the next instant she was in front of us.
How fast!
"Damn..."
"If this was a shounen manga, here would be where it says "to be continued"."
No way it could be like that.
Chapter 5 end.
