Legend

Ray looks at Auga's body falling in front of him while having the strange experience of bathing in the morning sun in the woods, even though he says it's in the dungeon.

There was still blood coming out of the amputated right shoulder and neck, and I decided to wait until the blood that was blowing had subsided because I was going to be covered in blood when I immediately stored it in Mystering.

"Just don't get tired of exercising from the morning. Seto, do you want to take a break until that blood is done?"

"Gru."

Seto nods at Ray's words and falls asleep to the grassy ground a little further away from the bloodless.

And Ray takes a breath depositing his weight into the torso of such a ceto lion.

"Here."

When the pear-like fruit removed from the mysterious ring is served straight to Seto, the fruit can be delighted and accustomed to the throat.

He took out his share and bit it as he smiled at the way it looked.

Even in such a relaxed state, Seto's five senses work all the time, inadvertently turning his gaze toward the forest. Ray reached out to Death Size, wary of a new enemy for a moment, but as soon as he understood that what was ahead of Seto's gaze was where he had been camping at night until earlier, he took his hand off Death Size.

Seto would have been the same again, taking off the gaze he stared at. And eventually from that direction I heard the sound and conversation of stepping on the grass.

"Ver, you want this one?

"Yes, sir. I'm pretty sure it smells like a lot of blood."

"The smell of blood, huh? Well, it's possible they're dead."

"Hey, Custe. That's too much."

"Hey. That Ray and Seto in the first place, right? If that's what you've been dealing with with dragons and stuff, I still don't think monsters like this are gonna do it."

"... Huh!

"Custe, you understand Ray's prowess, don't you? Come on, fix that attitude. Ray doesn't seem to care, but it's not something I feel comfortable watching on his side."

"But Master Elaine!

It was Elaine and the others, as expected, who emerged from the bushes exchanging words that way.

"Whoa, whoa. Look at that. It must smell like blood."

Ver leaks a mixed voice of surprise and shudderness when he falls to the ground and sees an orga still bleeding from his neck and right shoulder.

Next to it, Ara and Custe could not hide their surprising colors in the sight that was also spreading in front of them.

In the meantime, only Elaine calmly looks at the sight and discovers Ray and Seto resting on their bodies a little further away.

"Ray, Seto. Safe and above all. I'm surprised to hear you popped up all of a sudden, but you don't even seem to be hurt."

He was called out and the other three also noticed Ray putting his weight on Ceto and his ceto sleeping on the ground.

With his gaze pointed at the four of them, Ray rose with a bitter smile and approached Elaine and the others.

"The enemy you felt was this orga."

"Yes, because it's this giant somehow. Just walking sounded pretty loud, and I swayed lightly as well, so I knew right away. So if we keep this up, that camp could have been a battlefield, so we struck out."

"... right. I have some things to say, but I'm sure your judgment is generally correct. Actually, you and one of Seto took him down without any particular scratches."

Saying that much, Elaine turns her gaze to Auga, who is finally gaining less blood momentum.

"So now you were even bleeding out?

"Well, that's the place. If I put it in the item box, time wouldn't flow, so I don't need it... but I guess I slashed my neck and right arm when I knocked it out somehow, so it feels like. Because it was going to take blood to me when I stored it in the item box while the blood was running."

"I see. Well, more than anything if you're not hurt. But should I say dungeons are just as big as this?"

Ray turns a strange gaze at that word of Elaine.

Anyway, I don't know if this is just the first time I've met an ogre, but it's the average size.

"Is it that big?

"Oh. One turn over the individual I've seen before...... no, it's bigger than two times"

"If so, could it be a rare species or something?

"No, from what I've seen, it looks like a regular org. I guess I just simply grew up bigger than the other individuals. Look, I stopped bleeding more than that. Come and put it away. We're going to have to explore this basement 4th floor and find a staircase heading to the basement 5th floor, so let's just have breakfast and start exploring again. I think we're gonna be busy for another day today, so thank you."

It wouldn't be 20 minutes since I woke up if I tried it on Elaine, but I'm going to gently tap Ray's shoulder with a grin without showing him how he's fallen asleep or any kind of sleeping habit.

The cheap appearance, though not very much like what could be described as a duke's warrant, seemed to Ray like an attitude sufficient as a princess general instead.

"Ray, since most of the blood seems to have gone out just like Elaine said, shouldn't it be time to store it? I can smell the smell of this blood, and I don't know if any other monsters are coming."

"Well, do you want to collect this and then grab breakfast and go looking for stairs?"

It houses Auga's slashed right arm and head as he nods at Ver's words, and its giant at the same time.

When the giant over 5m tall faded into the mistering lightly, it felt like the surroundings had suddenly widened.

"So it's time to go back to the camp? It's a little early, but let's say we get breakfast, like Ray said."

Nodding at Elaine's words, he walks out to the camp after the scene.

"Oh, you still have the spark. Lucky."

When we get to the camp, Ver throws the dead trees he had prepared as firewood into the burning fire, saying so.

Elaine turns her gaze toward Ray as she sees that firewood burn and increase the momentum of the fire.

"Ray, breakfast please"

"Yes."

Nod, remove the total vegetable bread similar to the hot dog for the number of people, and at the same time take out a huge pan with stew that I also ate yesterday.

"Grrrrrrrr"

I guess I was caught by that smell. Seto also rubs his head against Ray as he throats.

"Oh, I know. Don't worry, I have nothing for you."

Remove the hardening of oak meat treated to an easy-to-eat size with Elk, a member of the Axe of the Thunder God, from the mysteries and stab it with a few branches to prevent it from falling and start cooking it on the bonfire.

Note that an easy size means an easy size to take to Ceto and eat, and if you try it on the Rays, a piece can be a certain size.

"Well, it's bad for Seto, but let's just say we're one step ahead."

That's what Elaine says, it's easy with hot dogs and stews...... but as for the condition of diving into the dungeon, it's going to be a sumptuous and extreme breakfast time.

While also picking hot dogs and stews, Ray also applies the sauce removed from the mysteries to the surface of the oak meat, which has been cooked in just the right condition, seared again with fire to produce the aroma, before placing the meat on a giant leaf.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Seto bites quickly into the meat just because he can't wait.

The fragrant smell of sauce burning with fire spread to the surrounding area, and the smell was irresistibly promoting Rays' appetite.

Chillari, it was Arla watching the meat Chillari and Seto were eating, but eventually I guess I couldn't stand it. Speak to Ray.

"Les, Lord Ray. I'd like to try that meat too, if you like..."

"And Ara? Then can you ask for my share at last?

"Hmm. Shall I have one, too?"

It's not just for Ara, but rather for herself without being able to say no just by Ver or Elaine asking for it... I stick the oak meat cut to the size that humans eat into the branches of the trees growing around it, apply sauce, and then cook it on a bonfire.

"Whoa, that smells good. It's the type of dish you'll never eat at home or something."

"Well, it's not as good as the dishes on the noble table."

Hand each of them an instantly baked skewer just the size of a bite, laughing bitterly at Ver's words.

"Custe, what are you gonna do? I don't mind splitting it if you want."

Ray looks at Chilali and Custe with a skewer in his hand that smells like stirring his appetite.

I don't want it.

But Custe refused it in a nutshell, forcing the remaining hot dog into his mouth, pouring it in with a stew and into the sinus of the tree where his luggage lay.

"Totally...... sorry, Ray. You cared about the corners."

I smile bitterly and shake my head at Elaine as she apologizes for eating the oak meat looking delicious.

"I'm used to it. However, it was a bit surprising that Elaine said she was going to eat oak meat and didn't complain."

"Oh, to put it that way, sure. The usual Custe might as well be the Duke's Lady."

"I know what Ver's trying to say, but remember what he's been up to. I would have eaten monster meat for lack of supplies on the battlefield."

It was Arla, not Ver, who snorted at the words. This one snorts while tasting oak meat skewers again.

"Right. You once attacked the Supply Squad by the Vestian Empire, didn't you?... but I don't think it was as good as this oak that I ate at that time."

"Basically, monster meat tastes good enough to contain a lot of magic. If you found it more unsavory than Rank D oak meat, it would have been meat from a lower ranked monster.... Well, even low-ranked monsters have delicious meats like poisoned toad leg meat"

"You're right about Ray. Surely the meat we ate at that time was a monster of about rank F or G."

The oak skewers disappear quickly even though we have a conversation like that. In the first place, there was only a quantity to taste, so there was no reason for that quantity.

Next to it Seto is eating his second block of meat and sounding his throat satisfied.

Everyone was hungry and there was a clear atmosphere around them. Boil some water in the pan that Ray serves out of Mystering and brew a simple cup of tea for a post-meal time.

"... well. We've eaten, and it's time to start exploring today. If I could, I'd like to go through this hierarchy and go to the fifth basement by the end of the day."

According to the adventurers we met upstairs, there was an undead on the fifth basement.

"No one among us could use the magic of the flames that would otherwise be the weakness of the undead, but now we'll have you, won't we?

I nod small as I smile bitterly at that word of Elaine.

"It's a weakness that our party doesn't have the face to use the magic of fire. I can use magic to a certain extent."

"Ver?... Oh, so to speak, certainly in the Lords' Hall..."

To Ray's words, Ver smiles bitterly with a sip of tea brewed in a glass.

"Well, it's a really preliminary thing to say it can be used. I remember it because I needed it to serve as the back of this unit. Basically, it feels like I'm going to use it to untrap or something."

"But it's good because you can use magic. The only one in this unit who can't use magic is subtly narrow shoulders like me."

This one also serves Arla in her mouth unhappy while drinking tea.

"... Lord Ray, honestly, this tea is not good"

Correction. Apparently he was uncomfortable that the tea was not tasty.

If you try Arla, who also plays Elaine's maid role, you'll be dissatisfied with Ray's tea, which was appropriately brewed, ignoring the procedure.

That said, Elaine herself is used to eating and drinking on the battlefield, so I don't have to complain about it.

"That and the problem must be the swarm of water monkeys that attacked yesterday. I hope you gave up on one thing yesterday..."

Turn to where Elaine's gaze is a little further away.

That's where the remains of the monsters that hit us during the night camp fold up and make small mountains.

The most common is goblins, but in addition to things like lizards, giant bats, soldier ants, and horn rabbits, there are also a couple of other water monkeys that I just put out in my mouth.

"I think it was probably that herd of scouts or something that attacked me at night. I slashed one down too..."

"Ara would be right. Then you should see that the herd hasn't given up on us. And the individual who was sent on reconnaissance saw us in the middle of the night camp and attacked us."

"I'm leading that herd, boss, because it took a lot for it to be a water monkey. That could be a rare species or something."

Nodding to Ver's words, Elaine, who drank her last sip of tea, starts up.

"All right, it's time to get ready to leave. Whoever washes dishes, watch out for monsters by the water."

Following Elaine's instructions, each began to prepare for exploration and the second day of the dungeon finally began.
