**Day 32? The Farthest Labyrinth 67F**
Yeah, that's right—I'm innocent. Totally shocked, seriously. Thinking about it, my "Cape?" has "Magic Reflection Cape – Reflects magic" composite in it. So the instant death got reflected back! That's gotta be it! Definitely not my glare! Absolutely the cape! Probably! I don't have instant death! Right? It's not my glare, right? Definitely not, right? Forget the imps! Forget them! It's not my glare! Final decision!
The Evil Eye dropped an "Evil Eye." Makes no sense.
Kinda pissed, so tried smashing it—got bear-hugged from behind by Armor Committee Chair. She's shaking her head furiously. Valuable? Even if it's rare, I wanna smash it. Seriously.
"Evil Eye – Warding Amulet, Talisman Against Various Abnormalities – 'Evil Eye,' 'Demonic Eye,' 'Insight Eye,' 'Wisdom Eye.'" Got it from the one who instant-died—zero blessings? Feels like you needed your own amulet more? Wanna interrogate it.
Armor Committee Chair grips the Evil Eye, points at my eyes, gesturing hard? What? Evil Eye? My eyes?? My eyes are Evil Eye?! Dissed?! Thought she was on my side! Dissed by my own companion?!
She's shaking her head—nope. Seems troubled?
Points at Evil Eye, then my eyes again.
"Uh… Evil Eye?"
Nod nod.
"…My eyes?"
Nod nod, holds Evil Eye right up to my face. Offering it.
"Eh～? Evil Eye is my eye? 'Your glare is an evil eye'?! You ARE dissing me!?"
She's stomping in frustration. Guess this is popular in isekai too. Tried stomping along—now she's head-in-hands, suffering.
Difficult age? But eternally 17 means eternally difficult age? 17-year-old problems are rough. Even in dungeon depths, 17-year-old problems persist.
Keeps gesturing desperately. Seems she wants to shove the Evil Eye into my eye.
"Bullying? Am I getting bullied? Turned delinquent? Rebellion phase? Sharp like a knife, steal a… horse and ride off?"
We stomp together again? My stomping's improving. Dexterous-poor effect?
Still won't give up—keeps trying to insert Evil Eye into my eye. What's going on?
"Uh… just put Evil Eye in my eye?"
Nod nod. Seems that's it. But bad for eyes?
"Putting this in my eye does something good?"
Enthusiastic nod, mysterious gestures.
"Improves my glare or something?"
She looks away sharply… nope. Gets patted again.
What I got: something good happens, glare doesn't improve, becomes evil eye. Wait? No good at all? But honestly—Armor Committee Chair wouldn't suggest anything bad for me. Not even a fragment of doubt. She thinks this is genuinely good for me. Otherwise no way she'd try this hard. Desperately trying to convey something.
"Yeah. Don't fully get it, but I get what you mean? Just put it in? Kinda?"
Nod, staring intently. Okay—worst case, one eye crushed, but regen exists. Can't ignore her wish. Whatever happens, happens.
Push Evil Eye into right eye? …Slipped in? Eh? Where'd Evil Eye go? Huh?
Not eye? Composite into "Contact?"?
Contacts in eyes—can't appraise.
Status.
[Haruka's updated status screen here: Lv17 (Up), HP/MP/stats all up, new martial "瞳術 Lv1", skill "羅神眼 Lv1", titles unchanged, equipment now includes "羅神眼" instead of "コンタクト?"]
Oh, level up? Wait—no, "Contact?" became "Rashin Eye"? Rashin Eye? "Rashin Eye – Divine Eye That Sees All Creation, Divine Eye, Foresight, Demonic Eye, Wisdom Eye, Copy Technique, Pupil Arts ???"!? For real?! But martial "見極 Lv7", skills "看破 Lv2", "千里眼 Lv Max", "神眼 Lv8"… wait really? "見敵 Lv1" too? Oh—"地図 Lv8" and "写技 Lv5" gone! Replaced by "Rashin Eye Lv1"? Merged? Hmm… map still works, enemy detection too. Fully integrated. Evil Eye probably in there… glare worries intensifying!
Martial "瞳術 Lv1" too—what's Rashin Eye effect? Improve glare? Still Lv1 though…
While checking status back and forth, Armor Committee Chair brings two wooden sticks, offers one.
"Take it? Wood? Stick?"
Nod nod—so I take it. She holds the other like a sword. Still beautifully sharp and serene. Way beyond bottom-floor darkness-controlled level.
"Fight? Spar? Training? Beatdown? Duel? Wait—bullying! Getting bullied?! No…? Training."
Training apparently. Considering power gap, rumors say worse than bullying—but training. Bottom floor couldn't even trade blows. Now not even training level? What's she planning?
Got beaten endlessly.
It was bullying.
Still—got the message. Rashin Eye. Its effects and usage. Divine Eye, Foresight, Demonic Eye, Wisdom Eye, Copy Technique—luxury cheats.
Divine Eye: sees the unseen. No blind spots. Nothing hidden.
Foresight: sees next move. Before they move.
Demonic Eye: reads mana flow. Understands clad mana.
Wisdom Eye: insight. Understands anything seen.
Copy Technique: copies seen techniques. Second time = read perfectly.
With this—invincible me-Tueee cheat. Got beaten though. No—beyond invincible me-Tueee. She's ultra-cheat? Seriously bullying.
Mastering takes time, but basics visible = manageable. Convenient. That's why she insisted. Greatly reduces instant-death risk. She noticed my level not rising, worried. Thanks—pat her head. She's delighted. Wait—I got bullied though.
