I Found Tiny Dungeon That Can Only Produce Metal Slime

Chapter 71: Streak of Blood Vessels
Yuuma swallowed his spit the moment he heard Aisha’s remark.
「C-Could it be…」
「Yes, Yuuma-kun. I want you to use this bloody ore!」
「NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」
Yuuma denied the suggestion right away on the spot.
「Why do I have to eat such a dangerous thing! No, absolutely NO!」
「Don’t worry. It’s only possible since you have 『Liquid Metal Transformation』, that ability literally turn every single part of your body, be it muscle, bone, blood vessel even the internal organ into metal. In short, your body can withstand the load from this ore’s ability in that state. It really is a superb ability!」
Yuuma flinched away upon witnessing another maddening side of Aisha.
”F*ck, this ain’t joking matter. I refuse to become your guinea pig!” Roared Yuuma inside his head.
「It’s fine, you should know how I am, I won’t tell you to keep going till your body breaks down alright!? In case my initial assumption is wrong, I will tell you to stop right away!」
「You already know from my previous explanation that the effect of this bloody ore is only three minutes. The interval limit of your 『Metallization』 is around five minutes, right? Then it should be okay!」
「No, absolutely no. This can’t even be called research anymore right? I mean, you are literally telling us to break law here!」
「Then we’ll regard this as research from this point! With you as the subject of research!!」
Oh crap, this person is really bad news.
「NO! I REFUSE!!」
「Cut the crap already, Aisha! My employee ain’t your lab rat.」 Said the president who couldn’t bear to see Aisha’s madness anymore.
The two of them stood up from their chairs and just as they’re about to head toward the door, Aisha’s voice resounded from behind.
「I never told you to do it for free, Yuuma-kun. I naturally have already prepared suitable bonus for you.」
「Eh?」
Yuuma frowned for a moment, and turned around immediately.
「I’ll pay you one million for this. What do you think?」
「Please don’t joke around, this isn’t a matter of money!! My life is at stake here!」
「How about five million yen?」
「F-Five million?」 Said Yuuma, he stopped right before his hand touched the doorknob, turned around and walked back toward Aisha.
「Huuu…Let’s hear the details.」
The president was truly dumbfounded to see Yuuma easily give in before the temptation of money from the mad scientist called Aisha.
◇◇◇
The three returned to Tokyo, they decided that it was safer to try consuming the bloody ore in Aisha’s research institute.
In the first floor of the institute that was already filled with measuring instruments, Aisha gave the magic ore to Yuuma.
「I’ll be responsible for monitoring your physical conditions. You can be at ease since I’ll stop the experiment the moment I see abnormality in your condition.」
Aisha gave a 500 ml PET bottle of water to Yuuma with a smile on her face. Yuuma received the PET bottle while looking at the magic ore in his hand.
Honestly speaking, he was unwilling to eat the jet-black ore with crimson blood vessel like pattern on its surface.
Though he honestly regretted the fact that he readily bit the bait when Aisha offered money, he still hesitated a little to eat it.
Aisha who stood by her side was akin to a devil who whispered into his ear to eat the poison. Thus, Yuuma could only grit his teeth and swallow the magic ore at once and washed it down with water from the PET bottle.
「H-How do you feel?」
Aisha asked curiously. There was no particular change in his body. But right in that moment, Yuuma felt a weird sensation running in the entire part of his body.
It was different from the sensation when he ate the “Magic Gem” or “Magic Ore”.
Thus he decided to take a deep breath and wait till the weird sensation was over.
「… It’s okay.」
「Ooh, that’s a relief.」
Aisha heaved a sigh and then made a note on the A4 paper clipped on the clipboard.
「Then, let’s initiate the experiment. First, invoke your 『Metallization』.」
「Understood.」
Yuuma clenched his fists, trying to invoke 『Metallization』. He was worrying about the effect of the bloody ore for a moment but his fear turned out to be a needless one since the color of his body was still metallic black.
It seems he could still use this ability properly as long as he had the proper image.
The president, who looked from a slightly separated place, couldn’t help but worry about Yuuma instead.
「Well, the next step is invoking the bloody ore’s ability. Try to draw the image of enhancing your strength and speed.」
「Yes!」
Yuuma closed his eyes, he tried to draw the image of bloodstream in his body boiling up and raising his overall abilities.
At first nothing happened but then, steam rose slowly from Yuuma’s body. Thin red streaks started to appear along Yuuma’s limbs, head, and face.
The blood vessel-like streaks that appeared on his body started to let out dim red light.
「Somehow… I feel that I become stronger!」
「OOOOH! It’s a hit. You definitely managed to invoke the ore’s ability. Now let’s measure your enhanced strength.」
Aisha quickly took the digital dynamometre.
「Grip it with everything you got!」
「Y-Yes.」
Yuuma clenched the hand dynamometer as strongly as he could. A moment later, an unpleasant sound resounded from the direction of his hand.
When he looked at his hand, he saw the broken part of the grip. The digital dynamometre broke without even managing to show the enhanced strength of Yuuma.
「Ah!」
「AHAHAHAHA, HOW AMAZING! WONDERFUL, TRULY WONDERFUL!!」
「Okay, moving to next」 Added Aisha as she happily torn off the chain part of the broken dynamometer from Yuuma’s hand, seeming not giving a sh*t about the broken instrument.
They moved to test vertical jump, and he ended up jumping to a height beyond measurement level.
「Wonderful. How’s the condition of your body?」
「Eh, yeah. I think it’s alright.」
In the blink of an eye, three minutes passed as they measured Yuuma’s enhanced abilities, thus the red streaks also vanished.
「It really raises your power. I mean, this is the first time I see such drastic increase in strength!」
Even the president was praising Yuuma while looking at the latter’s condition. And yet, Aisha is filling in something on her clipboard with an anxious look on her face.
「AAA~H, THERE’S NOT ENOUGH TIME! I need more data. Let’s end today experiment!」
The ability of the magic ore could only be used once, and once it ran out, it couldn’t be used until the next day. Thus, Aisha had no choice but to end the current experiment.
Yuuma heaved a sigh of relief since there was no abnormality in his body when he released his transformation.
Yuuma swallowed his spit the moment he heard Aisha’s remark.
「C-Could it be…」
「Yes, Yuuma-kun. I want you to use this bloody ore!」
「NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」
Yuuma denied the suggestion right away on the spot.
