Legend

One girl appeared in the magic formation Ray and the others were watching. Regardless of Ray and Elaine, the girl says a word when she sees Seto without changing her expression in particular.

"Mmm."

Just saying that's all I could do for you, passing next to Ray...

"Wait a minute."

Elaine, who was next to Ray, accidentally reaches for the girl's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

The trick of a girl tilting her little neck is adorable, but sometimes the expression hardly changes and I get the impression of being somewhere inorganic.

"Hmm? Not really. This is a dungeon, right? It's not a good place for a kid like you to come alone. Are you alone? No parents, guardians, or parties?

"Mmm."

To Elaine's inquiry, the little nodding girl.

Watching Elaine interact with the girl, Ray observes the girl in front of her.

At my age, I would be 10 or something like that. Does it emphasize ease of movement, or is it equipped with leather armor that seems to have used the skin of a monster in minimal areas of need, such as the torso or parts of the arm? And the sheath that holds the dagger is one on the left and right of the hips, and in the hand is a small crossbow. The back is carrying an arrow barrel and a backpack.

I even made Ray think that neat faces like blue hair stretched out to the edge of my shoulder and black eyes would definitely make me beautiful in the future.

Above all, the most characteristic would still be the look on its face. She said she had seen Seto so close, but she still hasn't changed one expression.

(One of these kids in a dungeon? No, I understand I'm not old enough to talk about people either)

I know that my appearance age is about 15 years old because I've been through it a lot. But even though the difference is about 5 years old, the meaning is very different between 10 and 15 years old.

Even for Elaine, she's smaller than herself...... no, you're surprised there's a girl diving in the dungeon by herself who can even say she's young. Ask the girl as she bends over and gazes at her.

"I know you're not lost, but why are you diving in the dungeon all by yourself today?

"Hmm?......"

As usual, a girl with a faceless tip of her little neck takes one card out of her nostalgia and gives it away, as if she were to say she eventually understood what Elaine had said. Ray, who watched the exchange between the two from the side, also quickly understood that the card was a dungeon card.

"Should I see this?

"Mmm."

The girl who nods small at Elaine's inquiry and offers her cards.

As if pushed by the momentum, Elaine receives a dungeon card and looks through.

Are the girls tired of such Elaine in front of them, close to Totetote and Seto, and stare at them.

"G., Gru?

I guess it was uncomfortable for Seto to just be able to watch without moving one expression. Ringing my throat like I'm confused.

As she stares at Seto like that, the girl inadvertently reaches out and strokes Seto's head.

……

Seto puzzled for a moment in his hand stroking his own head without changing his expression. But since I came to Egzil, I guess there have been some effects that I've just been scared of. I narrow my eyes and howl my throat as I feel comfortable at the girl stroking her head without threatening herself.

"Do you stroke Seto without fear in the first meeting? It's unusual since you came to Eggzil. Most of them stopped being scared the first time they saw Seto eating."

Squirting as impressed, Elaine gently slaps Ray's shoulder as she nods.

To Ray, who turned her gaze toward you, is handed the girl's dungeon card that Elaine had.

There it was labeled 'Beaune Flaut', proving that the girl stroking Seto's head faceless in front of her had a last name.

"With a first name? A nobleman? No, but would a nobleman throw one of these kids into a dungeon?

To Ray's words like that, Elaine shaking her neck left and right.

"No. Certainly this girl...... Bühne has a last name, but is not a nobleman. Don't you remember? Originally this Exil was ruled by four houses as a half-autonomous city, but one of them collapsed."

If you say so much, you can understand what Elaine said to Ray, too, and what kind of qualities Bühne is.

"I mean, you think this Bühne is the one who draws the blood out of that fallen house?

"Probably. And look under the dungeon card."

Elaine prompted me, Ray to see the dungeon card again. The letters Guild Rank D were represented there.

"Hey, what's Rank D at this age..."

"Oh. That's definitely quite awesome. As far as this goes, it's solo."

"No, it's not"

"Hmm? What's going on?

To such Elaine's words, Ray shakes his neck left and right.

(Elaine, who knows little about adventurers, naturally doesn't have to know about the rank-up exam.)

Whimpering so inside.

Rank Up Exam to get to Rank D. That basically has to be done the act of killing people, and the fact that Bühne is rank D means that the girl in front of her will have experienced killing at about 10 years of age only.

(No, or is it just Gilm that kills people? In the first place, anything guild would not necessarily make such a child opponent imitate killing people)

It was the guild clerks in Guild who passed Ray's brain. Kenny, a receptionist like Lenora, a grand in charge of his own rank-up exam, and a guild master marina.

I didn't think anyone past the back of their brain would let a 10-year-old girl like Bühne in front of them take a mandatory rank-up exam, because even her 15-year-old appearance was probably critical......

Surely the opinion was right. If the guild master in Exil were a marina, he wouldn't have been able to imitate it like that.

But those who drew the blood of the four former houses that made up the labyrinth city of Exil had to take it more as an guild than they hoped, and as a result, Büne passed the rank-up exam even though he was only 10 years old and was successfully promoted to Rank D.

I can tell you that it was a tragedy that happened because Büne was half-baked as an adventurer... and talented as a bandit,

Most importantly, Bühne himself had no problem if he could get more money, and Ning Lok was happy to dye his hands with blood.

"Anyway, it would be a lot of danger to have a kid like this in the dungeon by himself, wouldn't it? Why don't you join us, if that's all right with you?

"Mmm!"

Beaune shakes her neck beside Elaine's words.

As for Büne, this second basement floor is a hierarchy that I attacked quite a while back in the first place, and I feel little danger. Why did you come to such a place, simply because you received a request to deliver a special yarn used for a trap upstairs underground in a request that is in your guild.

One reason why Bühne is acting solo would be that if we partied, we would have to mountainize the rewards. No, Ning Lo. Is that the biggest reason?

"Mmm."

Beaune gazes at Elaine's own dungeon card she has and offers her hand. You see what that means, Elaine gently returns the dungeon card she had.

"Are you really going to act solo?

"Mmm."

Beaune nods at Elaine's inquiry.

Elaine watching it eventually reaches softly for Büne's blue hair as she sighs.

"Well, I don't know if I would let a kid like you dive into a dungeon by himself... I'm Elaine. I'm staying at an inn called the Golden Wind Pavilion, so if anything happens, let me know."

"Mmm!"

Nodding, followed by a glance at Ray, Beaune.

With that gaze, Ray opens his mouth with a small shoulder clasp, understanding that his name is also being asked.

"I'm Ray. This is Seto. And it's Yellow on Elaine's shoulder. Nice to meet you."

"Mmm."

"Gru."

Say hello, and Büne nods small at Seto, who rings his throat, then reaches out and strokes his head.

"Cucu!"

"Mmm!"

Yellow, flying off Elaine's shoulder and landing on Seto's back, squeals in the same way, and Bhune strokes its head.

Yellow looks small, but still definitely a dragon. I can't help but show some fright if it's not as good as a griffon ceto or if I try to be someone who doesn't know anything.

But Büne strokes the head of the yellow without any attentions.

"Cucu!"

"Mmm."

"Cu?"

"Mmm."

"Cu!"

"Mmm."

One and one to have a strange conversation. Bühne only has one word in his mouth for 'n', but for some reason, Ray leans his neck unexpectedly even though the words make sense.

Elaine kept her usual Rin atmosphere intact and watched such an exchange with a slight grin on her gaze.

"Mmm."

At the end of the day, Biune groans small and strokes Seto and Yellow's head with both hands.

After a few seconds or so he takes his hands off the two heads, he raises his hands small to Ray and Elaine before leaving the scene.

"See you again, Beaune!

"Mmm!"

Büne nods small at Elaine's words and runs straight out to the back of the second floor.

Then he drops off his hindsight, looks around his quieter surroundings, and then Ray opens his mouth again, too.

"Well, what if Bühne goes with us anyway? Even so, Beaune ran away but the trap and all is fine...... I wonder what. He was a bandit to see."

"Right.... Hey, Ray."

With that word, Ray knew what Elaine was trying to say.

Juvenile soldiers on the battlefield are not so uncommon. Some are forcibly conscripted by their lords, some volunteer instead of taxes, and others become soldiers themselves with the aim of reversing a single shot.

But even when it comes to juvenile soldiers, there are very few soldiers of existence, like Büne, who are about 10 years old.

I guess I don't even have to look, but at least I never saw Elaine. Although I was aware that you were concerned about Bühne because of that.

"I don't think Rank D is a problem. … and see the reach hierarchy of dungeon cards? It had reached the 12th basement floor. I'm sure even the most elite party in the world hasn't reached the 30th basement. Besides, Bühne acted solo. I don't think there's anything wrong with the basement upstairs."

"I know that, but it really looks..."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

"Cu!"

Seto and Yellow are breaking into the conversation between Elaine and Ray.

I'm not talking here, looking at the end of the aisle trying to move on.

"Right. Surely there's no point in talking about it here? If Bühne goes further than that, he's probably unlocked all of the traps.

"Well, I don't know. It's in the dungeon... you see."

Ray returns words to Elaine as she walks down the aisle.

At the end of that gaze, it is a crossroads, and even if we do not put ourselves in the number of directions we have come, the paths are divided into three: front, right and left.

"... sure. It's a fact that if the roads were divided, we wouldn't even know if Bühne was untying the passage we went through."

"So, which way are we going?

"If you go right on the map, there's a staircase... but I'm a little uncomfortable getting down to the third basement floor on the first day. Why don't you just go left or front today? So, which way do we go? I'll leave this area to Ray as a Rank B Adventurer."

There's no need to get lost, Elaine just ran out of words to leave it to Ray's reckoning. I guess it's not a bad feeling to listen to such Elaine's words, exhale and yet be relied upon by Elaine. Ray's face, silently pointing to his left, was covered in hood but had a small grin on his mouth.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

"Cucu!"

Seto tilts his ankle as he rattles his throat, and Yellow also tilts his ankle as if to imitate over Seto's back.

Two and two go down the aisle to the left, feeling what we really found out about those two exchanges.

A few monsters show up on the way down the aisle, but that's almost the same as on the first basement floor as people like Goblin and Poison Toad, and in a slightly different way, there is the figure of Soldier Ant?

"Huh!"

Kick the ground, pull it up with a death-size stone poke as you circle to the side of the soldier ant and repeat, sticking the stone poke straight underneath your belly.

Next to such a ray, Elaine releases a blade of wind toward Soldier Ant to cut off her torso, or Seto's right leg shakes to crush the head of another Soldier Ant.

After a few hours of battle in the dungeon on the second floor, he escaped using a magic formation near the stairs.
