Chapter 213 The Baseball Club Members and the 4th Loop
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Test Dungeon, 8th Stratum: Afternoon. The Baseball Club Party.
Captain: Hayate Wakamiya
”Alright, everyone. We’re taking five here,” Hayate said, wiping sweat from his brow. After clearing out the Goblins in the small chamber, he gestured toward his summoned Kobold Defender. “Taro, watch the door.”
”Woof!” Taro barked, planting his heavy Greatshields¹ into the entrance.
”Got it, Boss… -ssu,” Matsuki groaned as the five exhausted teens collapsed onto the stone floor.
They were spent. Since sunrise, it had been one ambush after another. The encounter rate on the 8th Stratum was brutal compared to the 7th, packed with more traps and those damn Goblin Archers. Hayate thanked his lucky stars he’d followed the Guildmaster’s lead and specialized his tamer-beasts into tanks. Jiro was currently with Coach Sayama, and Tetsu-the newest Kobold-was holding the line for the secondary unit.
Most clubs had focused on DPS, but after seeing what happened to the Karate Club’s “Rock,” Hayate had played it safe. He’d kept Taro and Jiro on porter duty until they were ready to Evolve. He needed them strong. In this dungeon, if you didn’t have a monster to soak up the damage, you didn’t survive the rushes.
”Man… I just want to get back and spend some quality time with Erin,” Matsuki muttered, staring at the ceiling.
”I hear that,” Tonegawa added. “I’m dying to see Lulu.”
”I wouldn’t mind a massage from Ayako right about now,” Tsukamoto chimed in with a tired grin.
”Must be nice,” Hotta grumbled, tearing into a calorie bar. “I’m still saving up for my first Soul-less Doll² soon.”
”I guess a Doll would be good for the spank bank,” Oikawa, the freshman, shrugged.
The conversation drifted as it usually did. They had prioritized saving Tonegawa’s childhood friend first, selling off 5th-Rank tickets to pull her out of the lower levels. It had cost them a fortune in party funds, but Tonegawa’s focus had improved tenfold since she was safe. He wasn’t frantic in the vanguard anymore.
Hayate looked at Hotta, who was already on his second snack. “You eat too much, Hotta. You’re calling the Wall-Butt³ once a day and only paying for the ‘Ass-Only’ session. You’ll never save enough for a full Doll at this rate.”
”Hey, killing monsters makes me hungry!” Hotta laughed, patting his stomach. He was a powerhouse-the only guy strong enough to dual-wield iron clubs-but his appetite was a black hole for their DP⁴ earnings.
”I’m fine with just the Wall-Butt,” Oikawa said, his voice dropping into that weirdly clinical tone he used for his fetishes. “They don’t move. You can find the perfect angle. A true pro doesn’t need a partner.”
”Spoken like a true virgin,” Matsuki scoffed.
Hayate stayed quiet. He was a virgin too, technically, though he now had Sue. He thought of Yumi, the club manager. He’d worked so hard to save her, yet the moment he’d had the chance, he’d materialized a Doll instead of buying her freedom. The guilt gnawed at him.
”Captain’s sighing again,” Matsuki teased. “Thinking about the manager?”
”Shut up,” Hayate snapped, standing up. “Break’s over. Yuki’s party is already on the 9th, and the Soccer Club is catching up. We need to hit the 10th Stratum floor boss by tonight.”
He had to save Yumi. He’d messed up the first time-being too “considerate” when she was in pain, which only drove the market price for her 2nd-Class slave ticket higher. He was a loser, just like Akatsu from the Kendo Club.
No, he told himself, I’m different. I’ll clear the Area Guardian and get the ticket. And this time, I won’t hesitate.

Tester Life: Day 94. 13th Floor, 4th Loop. 7th Settlement: Yakumo Sanada.
”They’re coming! Hanako, front and center!” Yakumo yelled.
A tide of Orcs and Green Wolves surged forward, ignoring the arrows from Sanae and the magic whistling past their ears. They stepped over the corpses of their own kind, driven by bloodlust.
Yakumo signaled his summon. “Hanako! Use Provocation⁵!”
”Brrr! Brrrr, brrrrr♡ Brrrrr♡”
Hanako slammed her Black Iron Greatshields into the mud, the impact rattling the earth. She leaned forward over the shields, her hands moving to cup and lift her breasts in a vulgar, taunting display. Her hips began to grind in a slow, hypnotic circle as a pulsating pink light erupted from her skin, washing over the oncoming monsters.
She’s a disgusting pig, as usual.
Sheena, forced to watch from right behind Hanako, knit her brows and stared at the ass Hanako was thrusting out with cold, disdainful eyes. Her hand gripped her rapier so hard it trembled; she was clearly fighting a desperate urge to just stab her. I was holding back the impulse to blast her with a Fire Bullet myself, so I know exactly how she feels.
Despite how revolting Hanako’s Taunt⁶ was, it was certainly effective. The Orcs and Green Wolves that were scattered before now locked onto Hanako all at once and came swarming in.
”Fireball!” I shouted.
”Karen!”
I launched a fireball at the lead shield-bearer, blowing him away, and barked an order to Karen in the middle guard.
”On it! ‘Fire Arrow’! Gooooo!” Karen yelled.
Four fire arrows manifested above Karen’s head before she unleashed them into the pack of Orcs. At her command, the arrows shot forward with lethal momentum, burying themselves deep in the chests of the three lead monsters.
’Gre-eee!’
The Orcs pierced by the arrows writhed, clawing at their chests, before coughing up blood and collapsing. Karen kept up a steady stream of Fire Arrows until the remaining Orcs finally reached Hanako.
Good, good. That thinned them out plenty.
Still, that Fire Arrow packs a hell of a punch. It’s the Magic Tome⁷ we picked up in the second village the day before yesterday. I thought about learning it myself, but after some debate, I decided to give it to Karen since she barely uses any Mana Capacity. Now Karen has a full kit: long-range Fire Arrows, the mid-range Magic Gun, and Fire Wall magic for close-range defense.
Being fire-based, the Fire Arrow hits way harder than ice or light magic. Sadly, it doesn’t explode on impact, but just like my Fire Bullet, if it hits deep enough, it’ll cook their insides. The penetration is high, too – one solid hit to the torso is a guaranteed kill.
The rain dampens the power a bit, but just like with my Fire Bullet, it’s not an issue if you wait until they’re close to fire. That’s why I had her hold off until the last second. Between Hanako’s Taunt making the Orcs and Green Wolves drop their guard and them all rushing the same spot, they were sitting ducks.
Between Sanae’s bow, Saizou’s poison kunai as he sprinted across the field, Sayaka’s magic, and Karen’s new Fire Arrows, the number of enemies that actually reached Hanako dropped to about ten.
’Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!’
Karen switched from magic to her Magic Gun, peppering the Orcs with Magic Bullets. In the back, I could see Leticia manifesting light arrows and picking off the Rain Hawks that were trying to block with their light shields.
At this point, Rock and I basically had nothing to do. It was a cakewalk – just stabbing the Orcs rushing Hanako from the side, making sure to stay out of the Magic Gun’s line of fire.
Without even breaking a sweat, we wiped out the swarm of Orcs, Green Wolves, and the Rain Hawks attacking from above.
”We did it! Did you see? Did you see?! I hit every single one!” Karen cheered.
”Impressive, Karen,” Sayaka said. “The woman who commands both flame and gun. I hereby dub thee ‘Karen the Flame-Gunner’.”
”Ehhh? I want something cuter!” Karen pouted. “Like ‘Beautiful Girl Gunner’!”
”Rejected,” Sayaka replied. “It doesn’t have ‘Flame’ in it.”
”Hmm… okay, how about ‘Flame-Gun Karen’?”
”That works,” Sayaka agreed.
”Then is Sayaka the Goddess of Ice?” Karen asked.
”She’s cold and an Ageman⁸, so it fits,” Leticia-chan chimed in.
”Leticia? Who are you calling cold, exactly?” Sayaka asked, her voice dropping.
”Wah! She heard me… but it’s because you keep stopping me from eating my snacks!” Leticia cried.
”Because you eat them right before bed! You’ll get cavities!”
”It’s fine! A Recovery Potion will fix it!”
”That is not the point!”
Heh. They’re as close as ever.
Still, now that Sayaka has hit C-rank, her presence feels… heavier. When she’s pissed, I can feel a sort of pressure from her, just like with Sheena. Yeah, Sayaka ranked up to C-rank this morning. She said she felt power surging through her and was in a weirdly good mood; when I checked the management screen with the Magic Crystal, she’d hit C. Just like when I ranked up, her physical stats and Mana Capacity shot up.
It took a while, but Sayaka is finally in the same rank as Sheena and me. Because of that, I’m having her hold back on the road so Karen, Sanae, and Leticia can get the kills.
Lost in thought, I headed into the village with the girls bickering behind me. I walked into the largest building and cracked open the treasure chest inside.
”Yeah, yeah, Potion and silver coins… Wait. Hell yes! That’s the second one! My luck is on fire today.”
Inside the chest were two 4th-grade Potions – junk at this point – and some silver, but tucked underneath was a fragment of an Introductory Permit. My luck sucked on the third lap, so I guess the universe is balancing things out. Or, more likely, it’s because I spent the whole break railing Sayaka. I guess I’ve turned into a real Agechin⁹.
Alright, that’s nine. Three villages left. If I find one more in a chest, it’s mission complete. I can do this. I’m on a roll.
Just you wait, Wakui-sensei and Arisawa-Coach. By tomorrow, I’m going to buy you both and fuck you until you can’t see straight.

- The protagonist is currently on his ‘third lap’ of this area.
- Introductory Permits are the key items required for the protagonist’s specific goal involving the teachers.

Character Insight:
Hayate shows deep insecurity, comparing himself to ‘wimps’ from other clubs while justifying his own delays in saving his girlfriend. Hotta represents the pragmatic but gluttonous side of the students, prioritizing immediate survival (food) over long-term goals (Dolls).
The protagonist shows a strategic side by distributing magic skills based on Mana Capacity efficiency rather than just taking them for himself. Sayaka’s growth suggests she is becoming a core power in the group, rivaling the protagonist’s presence.

Behind the Scenes:
The author uses the Baseball Club to highlight how different personalities (the glutton, the onanist, the guilty leader) adapt to the dungeon’s moral decay.
The author uses RPG mechanics (aggro, mana management, rank-ups) to ground the otherwise crude power fantasy elements.
