Legend

Early in the morning the day after we reached the land where the dungeon was located. Quickly the party led by Elaine will all head to the dungeon.

Party members are Earla and Ray from the avant-garde. Elaine and Custe of the Middle Guard. Vel in the rear guard. He was one with five of Seto, a parade presence.

In the air, which has become much cooler compared to the summer platter, the sky is clear to the extent that it can be said that autumn is clear.

If you walk through the village feeling the weather like that, you're probably the adventurers heading for the dungeon. A party of around 5 people from those moving solo. Or I could have seen more and nearly 10 people partying.

Those faces are first blinded to Seto, nervous for a moment, relieved by the ornament of the submissive demon hanging on his neck, then flashed by the beauty of Elaine, repeating the pattern of being able to look sharply at Custe and Ara.

Or maybe some wizards and thinkers weren't in the guild last night. There were also a few who solidified or retreated the moment they put Ray in sight again.

"At all, what are the eyes of the elephant civilians turning to Master Elaine? This is why..."

I guess I heard Custe groan unhappy with the bumps, Elaine forgives Custe with a bitter smile.

"Custe, it must be usual for us to be noticed. I don't care, and you don't care too much. And keep your mouth shut about civilians. Most of us are civilians here. It's only inconvenient to make them uncomfortable.... and you know with the battlefield that turning a favorable eye on me has nothing to do with civilians or nobles, right?

"... Yes, I'm sorry"

Elaine was already accustomed to seeing that kind of gaze from a man because she had been made to realize in her previous life that when she was beautiful, she was also extremely beautiful. For this reason, it is particularly immobile to the extent that the gaze of the hand can be pointed at. Most importantly, if you get lost and attack me, you will naturally be able to pull out that connecting sword. Those injured thus had risen to a considerable number, irrespective of nobility or civilian affiliation.

Arla sounds sorry for Elaine like that.

"If this is the case, you might as well have taken a carriage to the dungeon."

"You know, Ara. It's nice to take a carriage to the dungeon, but we're headed to the seventh basement of the lowest level of the dungeon, right? We're likely to be staying for at least a few days. What about the carriage in the meantime? There's no way I'm gonna leave you out of the dungeon forever, is there?

"Ha. Ver's the one who's not thinking enough. If only the Innkeeper could come and get it and do it from the beginning."

"... which one doesn't think enough"

Hung, and Ver laughing at Ara with her nose all the time.

"Hey, what the hell. I don't know what I'm missing."

"Ready? It's Warhorse pulling that carriage. It's also highly capable of flying."

"Right. You deserve to pull Elaine's carriage."

"Don't you get it yet? Highly capable warhorses have a lot of pride in them. If you weren't the one who admitted it, you wouldn't be listening to orders."

"... Huh?

"Are you really a knight? It's common sense."

"Beth, nothing. Then you don't have to be those kids to borrow the other horses."

"And make Warhorse obstinate?

"Gu......"

Is Arla lit, who was utterly mistold by Ver, or the anger that scratched her shame in front of her heartbroken Elaine? Anyway, keep your face red but shut up.

Luckily it must have been lucky for Arla and Ver that they didn't need that much time until they arrived at that entrance, only to the village built around the dungeon.

"Well, I knew you were in quite a line."

A number of adventurers lined up to the entrance to the dungeon. Thirty people, maybe 10 parties.

"Dear Elaine, what do you want to do? You can use the card you received yesterday to get in first."

"... right. It's a long way to the altar of inheritance. You won't be spending any extra time here. Check your gear before you do that. Weapons, protective equipment. Or you don't have a problem with potions for your own aggressive use?

To Elaine's words, everyone checks the equipment on the spot. Unlike other faces, Ray only removes the Death Size from the Mystering. I don't have anything else besides Death Size because I can always take it out of Mystering when it comes to potion types.

"Gru."

Whether it's Ceto rubbing his head against him as he rattles his throat, or gear, Magic Item accessories are two wind operated bracelets and rigid bracelets fitted in the front legs on the left and right. The equipment is complete with three Shizukuishi of Mercy hanging on the neck apart from that and the subordinate necklace.

... It can actually be very rare to have summoned or tasted monsters equipped with magic items so far. All three magic items that Seto is equipped with are super first-class items created by Esta Knoll, the Alchemist of the Zeppyre Gate.

"Dear Elaine, I have no problem. You can leave at any time."

"Neither do I."

"I can go anytime, too."

Custe, Ara and Ver each told Elaine that, and Ray nodded silently again, and Seto rang in the back of his throat.

Elaine, who heard them, also checks her equipment for magic items such as connecting swords, armor, capes and shoes to make sure she has the kind of potion.

"Looks like you're all set. Okay, let's go."

Elaine declares, passing next to the queue lining the dungeon to the guild staff near the entrance.

"You got a minute?

"What can I do for you? If you're going into a dungeon, line up at the end of that queue."

Alliance officials who unfathomably tell you that. Do you look like a former adventurer in his late 40s or something? Still, they're entrusted with the entrance to a dungeon where monsters might come out of, so I guess they have quite a few arms.

The figure is quite void, and you can see that the sheath of the sword hanging on your hips is used quite well.

And most importantly, even when I looked at myself, there was no such thing as falling in love just slightly changing my expression. On the contrary, it was increasing Elaine's fondness. Also, as far as putting Seto in view just moved his eyebrows lightly, I guess his gall strength is also considerable.

"Look at this."

What I gave the man was a card I got from a worker last night. It is an indication that the Alliance representative, the worker, has equivalent authority.

"... Shit, I get it. I can't even complain if they show me that card. Come in first."

"Hey, parent. Oh, my God. It's my turn!?

A solo adventurer who was in the process with an Alliance official called Parent complains, but as soon as he is stared at with a strong gaze, he becomes an adult.

"This card is a sign that you have the equivalent authority to represent the Alliance. If they give us this, we'll have to obey.... hey."

A guild clerk who speaks that way to the adventurer who was at the head of the queue and turns his gaze to Elaine.

"Yeah, I'm having trouble getting these things used so easily. I don't want you to act like you're disturbing too much order. Next time, think about it and act."

"You, what are you doing to Master Elaine!

Custe was about to put up a demon spear in his listener that was offensive, but the sheath of a jointed sword holding Elaine's hand holds him down.

"Come on, Custe. Even though we do have authority, we are the ones who interrupted it. It's only natural that you shouldn't get interrupted."

"... Yes"

To Elaine's words, Custe solves the insubordination. Next to it, Ara also releases her right hand, which she had tried to pull out of her hips sheath at any time.

Speaking of, Ray watched such an exchange, especially as he stroked Seto's back instead of doing anything.

"I'm sorry, but there's a lot going on here. If you need power, you can't afford to hesitate to use it. You don't mind if I let you through?

"Oh. I would need a guild card if I were to, but if I had that card, I wouldn't have a problem getting into the dungeon. I just need to keep an eye on who got into the dungeon, is there anyone with guild cards?

To that word, Elaine, a line of gaze concentrates on Ray.

It was impressive to Ray that Custe's gaze, which he hated himself, was also directed at him.

(Well, I guess it's because I want to do something quick about the process and just get inside the dungeon)

Whimpering inside, he takes the guild card out of the mistering and gives it to the man.

A few adventurers looked sharply at the trick and understood what Ray had... but Ray, who was already used to the gaze of that hand, had recieved it. I don't know what to say instead, but Seto steps up to you and squeals his throat at at the person who's been pointing that hand's gaze at you and threatens him.

"Well, rank D at that age? That's quite a growth stock. Is that just how you get hired by a line of nobles?"

Around the age of 15, the Alliance staff will quickly write down the contents of the Alliance card on the documents in hand, turning a gaze that impresses Ray, who is also small in height, and will complete the task without taking a minute to return the card to Ray.

"All right, you can go in the dungeon."

"Um, thank you"

Elaine nodded to Eagle Deep Fried, and her hair fluttered and swayed with the trick to leave a strong impression of its vertical roll to the adventurers around her.

Elaine walks into the dungeon while the adventurers around her are watching it unexpectedly.

The entrance to the dungeon itself was a normal staircase. It's set up for the underground.

"Is this staircase part of the dungeon, too?

Ara asks Ver as she goes down the stairs, but the question is denied.

"No, this staircase was prepared by the guild after the dungeon was made. See, that's the proof."

It's a boneless door down the stairs. It was installed by the Alliance to keep the monsters in the dungeon out.

"I mean, the end of this door is a real dungeon."

"Grrrrrrrr"

It's not that long from stairs to doors, but the road is not that wide. Because Seto is only wide enough not to be able to spread his wings, Seto growls in the back of his throat dissatisfied as he walks down the aisle.

But such a dissatisfied voice also fits as soon as I see the end of the door open. At the end of the door, the road was built quite wide, and that was the only way Seto could afford to move freely even if he stretched his wings out thoughtfully.

"This is huge.... and the wall itself emits a light?

Squirting as Custe was impressed, he touches a wall that is releasing thin lights.

"According to the information I gathered, apparently the wall itself emits light, a trait common to all dungeons. Well, depending on the hierarchy, you can't be alarmed because there are places in the dark with no lights."

"Maybe if we take this wall back to the ground, we'll make a lot of money, right?

You wouldn't have thought so, it was Earla who shrugged so much, but Ver smiles bitterly and shakes his head.

"You don't think there was an adventurer who thought that? They won't glow if they scrape this wall and take it to the ground. Sounds like it's just a feature in the dungeon. According to one theory, the nucleus of the dungeon made it so that the monsters living in the dungeon wouldn't feel inconvenient..."

"The nucleus of the dungeon is for the monster? Is that possible?

"Custe's questioning is good, but somehow we're shifting the monsters that live on the ground to protect the dungeons, so the monsters won't be able to work in the dark, will they?

"... I see. If you think about it, is it possible?"

Custe nodding at Ver's words.

With such Custes sideways, Elaine takes a piece of paper out of a cloth bag hanging in the opposite direction from the sheath of the jointed sword.

"Well, dungeon sightseeing is fine, but our purpose is only at the bottom of the inheritance altar. It's only on the map until the third basement floor, but that bottom floor seems to be the seventh basement. At least we'll move on where the map is. The avant-garde is Ray and Arla. Zhongwei is Custe and I. The guard is Ver. As far as Ceto is concerned, I'd like to leave Ver behind at the rear of the line just in case. Then let's go."

One line to follow Elaine's instructions and proceed with the dungeon. The enemies that emerged thanks to their proximity to the first basement floor and the ground were mostly easy monsters such as giant bats and horn rabbits.

"Totally...... I wish you knew the difference in power...... hey!

Ara swings down her long sword with incredible arm strength, protruding horn rabbits with horns protruding into its horn by horn.

Next to it, Ray also waves down the Death Size again, turning the giant bat that was aiming for an ambush from above into two straight bats.

"Grrrrrrrr"

And behind the Rays, a monster just right for eating a meat called Horn Rabbit had the appearance of an upbeat ceto.

It is obvious that stripping the material, or taking the demon stone, does not make it a busy gold, so I give it to Seto without any particular complaints, whether it be Elaine, a line commander, or Ver, who is in charge of stripping the material.

"Look, Seto"

Ray cuts corners that seem to disturb him to eat, scratches his guts out appropriately, and then throws the horn rabbit to Ceto.

Seto almost drinks it when he catches it well. I haven't even peeled my fur, but she doesn't seem particularly concerned.

And it's supposed to be a giant bat, but that's the size of wings, too. If you cut out feathers that have no place to eat, all that remains is the size of a bite that Seto can eat as a snack sensation.

Incidentally, it was an unfortunate event for Ray that Seto ate every demonic stone horn rabbit or giant bat without ever acquiring new skills.

Also, horn rabbit horns and scratched guts. Or alternatives such as feathers cut from giant bats, if you throw them in the aisle, Slime, who is also the cleaner of the dungeons, cleans them all. Therefore, in dungeons, it may be implicit to try to miss the slime that strikes.

That's how you keep walking on the first basement floor of the dungeon for about 30 minutes. We finally made it to the stairs to the second basement.
