Beautiful pacing!

Is the concept of using oil to make it slip super complex or something?
She really is a musclehead.

I'm not super sure why they felt they had to be so stealthy because I assumed the gecko was acting as an ambush predator and never meant to be noticed in the first place.

A little disappointing the monster gecko turned out to be the boss of the entire floor; I would've liked to see them have to solve dealing with a whole bunch of them lying in wait.

Thanks for the upload. Appreciate your hardwork.

 

[Acrelorraine]

What an anticlimactic leap. Loved it.

Monster gecko fell to his death and he was so sad because noone wanted to be his friend. his last words were Okei which was just "Ok" which meant he accepted his fate even it was sad.

Well Gex is dead...again.

Japanese like to use something like onomatopoeia to express things - e.g. "doki doki" for a throbbing heart or "pika pika" for something sparkling.

On the first page, the "slippery smooth strategy" was literally the "tsuru tsuru strategy", where "tsuru tsuru" is probably supposed to be the sound of something slipping. When Fiona asks "slippery smooth?" she's actually asking "tsuru tsuru?", probably because she really doesn't get it.

Then, on the panel you quoted, Maho more literally says "If we cover it in oil, it should go tsuru and fall down" and Fiona again doesn't understand what it means.

So it's not that the plan is complex, it's that Maho completely failed at explaining it to her audience.

"Tokeiiiiiiii" actually, which is basically "Lizaaarrrrddddddd". Because when an animal doesn't normally make much sound the common practice is to just kinda pokemon it. :3

I mean, considering that the average adventurer wouldn't really be able to see in the dark it makes sense that there's only 1 monster on the floor. First they'd have to not fall and then they'd have to find and fight the gecko in it's own turf.

Geckos are kind of on the noisier side. The common house gecko chatters (chk-chk-chk-chk, earning it the alternate name "chichak"), and the tokay gecko makes a two-syllable chirp that supposedly sounds like "tokay" (hence the name). Personally, I think it sounds like a strange duck or a squeaky doorhinge, but…
If this thing is a giant tokay, it actually does pokémon its name, just like the real thing!

So the oil was pointless and they won due to AI exploits? That's still pretty funny.

So, the oil was definitely needed, and they did need to be stealthy. While, yes, the gecko was an ambush predator they still needed to diffuse the oil on the wall it was attached to. Whilst the final leap was anticlimactic, this was only because it had lost its footing due to the oil. If at any point they had gotten the gecko’s attention without having enough oil to disrupt it, say by pelting it with water balloons or an entire reserve can of oil, that leap would have been much more impressive and, ultimately, fatal to our girls. The water balloons didn’t attract attention, but our MCs didn’t know that they wouldn’t so caution was the play.

And also, just using water balloons when you have an entire warehouse of stuff as a gimmick WOULD be kinda anticlimactic 😅

OIL UP

Would Baby Oil also have been effective?

Just realized that this series is basically isekai MacGyver. The layout of this dungeon feels weirdly disappointing for a supposedly massive and unconquerable dungeon. These endgame rooms feel so simple and man made. Compare it to the living ecosystem of the dungeon in Delicious in Dungeon and it just feels like a missed opportunity.

Thanks for the update

The dangers of the room were the chance to fall off the path and the giant ambush gecko. The lights made it so anyone looking down could avoid going over the edge and the lone giant gecko can't ambush and reposition if people know where it is.
