Chapter Title: Please Write One Item Needed to Escape This Place. (5)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'd already smashed down on the stone statues with thigh bones about fifty times, pouring every ounce of strength into it.

Since I was hitting hard things with even harder things, the armless stone statues naturally shattered in no time.

"Ow... my hands hurt."

Out of the total four stone statues, the waists of two had already been smashed clean through.

The torsos of the stone statues whose waists were broken fell straight to the floor, but...

I figured mere monsters wouldn't die from something like that.

"Hammer!! Charging!!"

Like swinging an axe for firewood.

I kept bringing the thigh bone down on the body of the fallen stone statue monster.

How many hours passed like that?

"Phew... gonna rest a bit, then disarm the traps now."

Having successfully smashed all the stone statues on the second floor into pieces.

I sat right down on the floor and started resting while reading through people's comments.

"It's not Ohm."

"If you know it's vulgar, don't ask..."

"...I'm starting to understand why streamers have it so tough."

"I'm gonna ban you guys."

"No... don't send bucks. No donation reactions here."

"Argh..."

Chatting casually with people while resting made time fly by.

Once I felt sufficiently rested, I slowly got up and started neutralizing the traps on the second floor.

"Oh, battery's almost dead."

I noticed the phone's battery was down to just 5%.

"Gotta charge the phone first. I'll turn the stream back on before tackling the third floor. Thanks everyone for helping me out today. Appreciate it."

I ended the live stream and headed back to the safe zone first to charge the phone.

"No live streams after escaping, I guess."

Truth be told, electricity is constantly supplied here, which is why I've been able to charge the phone bit by bit and do live streams.

Once I returned to the safe zone where the survivors gathered.

If I couldn't find a way to charge the phone, there was no guarantee I'd be able to use it again.

'Maybe I can't charge it with batteries.'

Well, it wasn't that urgent right now.

I decided to think about phone charging in detail after escaping this place.

"Status Window. Tsk..."

Smashing all the stone statue monsters on the second floor still wasn't enough to reactivate the Status Window.

It was a bit disappointing, but if I kept taking out every monster here one by one... wouldn't the Status Window turn back on eventually?

If I could get the Status Window working again... maybe I'd even be able to use the delivery function by then.

"Gotta finish disarming the second-floor traps and memorize the third-floor info."

To tackle the third floor tomorrow and turn the second floor into a pseudo-safe zone, I started moving.

...

I turned the second floor into a pseudo-safe zone and came ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠back.

There were only seven traps, so in less than an hour, I'd neutralized them all.

Feeling a bit bored now, I tried to get info on the third floor.

"Third-floor monsters are kinda tough... Huh?"

I noticed new text written on the record book sitting on the bookshelf.

"Ending the game?"

I didn't know when this new notice went up.

But seeing the announcement that the game was ending left me a bit dumbfounded.

I mean...

"No, if the game's over, shouldn't they send the participants back?"

The game ended, so where the hell is the administrator who abandons participants inside?

"Ah, I killed the administrator?"

Aha!

Damn...

"Uwaaaah!"

It was so unfair... but what could I do?

I couldn't just lament over what had already happened.

"Yeah, well... with the administrator dead, something's bound to change..."

Forcing myself to think as positively as possible.

I decided to let people know what had happened to me.
