Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

The first report came from a lung fish (dipno) who had traveled to the wetlands in the woods to take perimeter watch.

"Master, three humans are on their way to Crevasse."

Instruct him to continue surveillance secretly and show the footage of the lung fish (dipno) on the screen.

"You're a trio of adventurers."

"Don't worry about the way you walk......"

Everyone doesn't seem to understand very well, so I'll explain.

'Sure, I'm walking toward Crevas, but I'd be letting my gaze get lost with Kyolokiolo and everywhere, wouldn't I? You look like you're looking for something, but if you do, you weren't lost in the footsteps until you came nearby'

"Are you saying you're here to check on (...)?

"Maybe. The other day's gunfire would have caused it."

"Oh, stop, I'm looking around"

'All right, this is the beginning of a disguised operation. Keep those who are out there and hide carelessly when the adventurer approaches you. Just pretend to be a regular Lizard or Slater, okay? Cave, stay hidden and avoid the corridor as soon as you can.'

Cave Rat is a monster nestled in a dungeon. Though you're in a cave or something other than a dungeon, it's unnatural to be out there with a bunch of them.

'Everyone outside, never come near the entrance to Crevas. Head to the nearby stash or aisle. Reb, re-measure the residue of magic in Crevasse. If it's too much, let Whisp absorb it. Don't leak a hint of magic outside. "

"Ha."

"Around here... right?

"Oh, I bet..."

"There's nothing in it..."

"Rick, Myra, have you guys been here before?

"As you can see, it's a place of nothing, huh? The one who comes all the way to a place like this."

"Right. I've never been here either. What about you? Enri."

"Neither do I. I mean, you don't know if it's different from before..."

"I also asked the senior adventurer once..."

"Whoa, that's Myra. Don't tell me."

"So?"

"... you don't seem to remember what kind of place it was in the first place... All I could get was an answer saying," Where there's no such thing as a weirdo. "

"... no choice (huh) huh. Let's split up and take a look around."

"Wait, didn't Gilmouth say something about the dragon?

"... Well, you said it. But that was pretty nasty, too."

"For once, just in case, that felt like it."

"Nevertheless, there is a possibility that some kind of danger exists. I don't think it's a good idea to leave."

"Right. Just be careful not to leave more than ten meters."

The three adventurers explore the area slowly as they scatter at a moderate distance. The appearance had been captured with no extra space by skinks shaking in the sun or by Cave Rat, who was sneaking a peek from the evacuation passage.

'... what are you looking for?

"Maybe footprints or something like that"

"Footprints, is it?

"You know more about last year's dragon than you do about coming here. With that in mind, you'd think that the dragon might be involved in this one too. So you think you might find a footprint?

"That, but, Master..."

"Oh, I had the dirt magic hold erase the trail of battle, I'm fine"

'I see... I was wondering why you ordered me to do that, was it for this time...'

'Oh, yeah. If we're gonna hide something, we need to do it thoroughly. Uno, you're also the leader of the Slater here, so remember that area.'

"I remember the liver."

"Oh, and keep an eye out for the people out there, not just adventurers, but what's going on around them."

"Ooh, what do you say, have you found something?

"No, there's nothing there."

"Enri, can you find any traces of magic or anything?

"I don't see it. It doesn't feel particularly unnatural."

"And then... it's the only rock left."

"A rock... isn't it a rocky mountain?"

Talking, among other things, the three adventurers approached Crevasse.

"... there's a lot of grass near this rocky mountain. Looks a little damp..."

"Master, have you noticed?

"I don't know...... but Lev"

'Yes?'

'Get ready for an electric whip, just in case. Depending on the situation, we use pitfalls.'

"Yes."

"... oh, it must be because of this rocky mountain. Night exposure on the rocky surface due to temperature differences day and night, and the sun-directed part evaporates quickly, but the shaded part evaporates late and flows down. So... you see, the area bordered by the rocky mountains is damp."

Certainly that can happen. Enri's explanation was far from the facts, but convincing.

"Ahhh, that's how it is... I was hoping for a moment that there would be a spring in the back of this crack."

Rick's opinion was not quite correct, but it was as if it was unfounded and therefore lacked persuasion.

"Yeah, well, nothing convenient's gonna happen."

"Right. (laughs)"

Is it true what the sorcerer is saying?

'Well, that's a likely story. Anyway, he seemed convinced about the water source. All you have to do is hold your breath like this...'

"Master, it appears that one of Kayblatt's men has found a carriage approaching us."
