Legend

The fourth basement floor of a dungeon in Exil. After about an hour after the Sword Bee thing was done, there was a look at the Rays there.

"Is this the fourth basement floor? It's the same once again."

Elaine whines as she looks around the room with the stairs and the magic formation.

The surrounding areas are cobblestones and walls, which look nothing like the third basement floor.

"If you look at it this way, you'll see how out of the standard the dungeons we dived for the altar of inheritance were."

"The upper level was also a normal passage, diving somewhat before becoming an unusual dungeon. But it hasn't been that long since the dungeon was made, so it was shallow, and I guess it has an impact. If you think about it, maybe this dungeon would have a forest or something like that if it had dived deeper..."

"I hope so. Exactly. I get tired of all the same scenery.... than that. What do we do now? Are we going to explore this hierarchy at all? Or go back to the ground?

To such Elaine's inquiry, Ray thinks for a few seconds as he rubs his head against it and strokes Seto's back, which sweetens him, glancing at Elaine before making his decision.

"Let's go back today. I'm tired of wasting my time with that Sword Bee, and it's only been a few days since we got to Exile. You don't have to do this here."

"As far as I'm concerned, I could explore a little more..."

With that said, I suppose you understand that Ray is saying that he ends his exploration here because he's unfamiliar with places like dungeons. There is no problem for Elaine, who is also a soldier when it comes to strength on the battlefield. But a monster who doesn't know where to move while alerting himself to a trap in a different field place called Dungeon. And it's an on-parade between Queen Bee raiding and tracking, fighting countless Sword Bees, and unfamiliar things. Naturally Elaine was getting more tired than she looked.

"However, before returning to earth in the Magic Regiment, will the Queen Bee's Demon Stone be absorbed?"

Ray grunts as he looks around and makes sure he doesn't have a particular shadow. Elaine, hearing that, smiles a little differently than she did a few seconds ago.

"The absorption of demonic stones? thats one time i wanted to see it too...... ok?

"What more can I tell Elaine to hide from you now? Never mind."

The torso of a queen bee whining and removing it from the mistering. Since the head is crushed and the abdomen where the poison needle was growing is similarly crushed, there are probably more people who cannot tell at first glance what form this is a monster in.

"Seeing it this way, I guess that's Seto's offense"

Elaine whines as she looks at the torso of the queen bee with the gaze she observes.

With such a gaze on him, Ray takes out a knife for demolition and cleaves his torso.

There is no part of the abdomen where the poison needle was growing, but fortunately the buried heart of the demon stone was normal, so I take the demon stone out of the heart without any particular problems.

"... you think you can sell wings and other materials around there?

"Even if I ask. It's just, well, why don't you just take it? So if you can't sell it, burn it and throw it away. Ray has an item box, so I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the weight."

"Or so it is."

Nodding, Ray stores the torso of a queen bee that has been ripped out of her heart into an item box. Remove the running water dagger and wash your hands to wash dirty hands and knives as they are.

Knowing the taste of water created using Ray's immense magic, Elaine was turning her gaze to Ray like she said something. But if you lay it down, the water is water, and if you have magic, you can create as much. Therefore, he finished washing his hands and knife without looking concerned at all, and gave Seto the demonic stone removed from the queen bee.

"Seto, you can eat."

"Gru."

Hear Ray's voice and swallow the Demon Stone with a couch...

I wait about 30 seconds to find out that the familiar announcement doesn't sound in the back of my brain and exhale.

(Well, even so, Queen Bee is the queen bee of Rank E Monster Sword Bee. If you think about it, you won't have to be able to master skills)

Looking at Elaine looking at herself and Seto somewhere with a gaze of anticipation while thinking inside out like that, Elaine asked me as though she'd been waiting.

"So, what did you learn? If it's queen bee, is it poison?

To Elaine, who looks unusual and interesting, Ray shakes her neck left and right.

"Unfortunately, I was unable to acquire skills. Well, if you absorb demon stones, you can't be sure you'll learn skills."

"... right"

To that word, Elaine sighs unfortunately.

Ray taps lightly on his shoulder wrapped in white armor to encourage such Elaine, and calls out.

"Ma, some monsters are that strong if you dive down more than it is a dungeon. Expect me to have a chance to absorb those demon stones."

"... um"

You wanted to see a scene where you learned your skills too much, Elaine nodding without changing your sorry look.

"Cu!"

"Grrrrrrrr"

I comfort Elaine like that, with the yellow on her left shoulder rubbing her cheek, and Seto bows her head as she throats to apologize again.

It was Elaine watching the two of them, but soon she smiled small and opened her mouth as she stroked the two heads.

"No, never mind. I was just expecting it on my own. Besides, as Ray put it, if we keep going to the deep tier, a lot of strong monsters will show up. More than that, see. You're going outside, aren't you? I gave away all of Sword Bee's demon stones, but I've collected all my other demon stones. Let's sell it at the guild and then eat something and go home like yesterday.... but don't let Ray dele even if he meets a woman like Vihera yesterday"

"No, so nothing. I..."

"Something?

"... no, it's nothing"

Zito, I can't go on with any more words to Elaine coming with my eyes on me, Ray, pushing silence.

Satisfied to see it, Elaine nods small and quickly all the way to the magic formation.

"Look, Ray. Let's go."

Grabbing Ray's hand, by the way.

"Ask for this buy"

The Rays, who came to the Alliance, quickly and only toward the buyout counter, take the demonic stones and crusade proof sites removed from the mysteries, along with a small number of them, but put the material on the counter.

It's later than yesterday, but still not after 4pm for a crowded time. For this reason, we exchanged materials without lining up - Queen Bee ended up with no materials to buy - and tried to get out of the guild, at that time.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray, Mr. Elaine. I'm calling you two for a minute, so would you mind if I had some time?

I can speak that way to the receptionist who was at the counter of the person receiving the request, not the material buyer.

"Us?

Ray, who doesn't remember making a scene, especially in Egzil, asks him that unexpectedly. I was wondering if it was some kind of mistake.

However, the receptionist shakes his head small to the side of Ray's words before opening his mouth again.

"I'm definitely looking for Mr. Ray and Mr. Elaine. I'll go upstairs on the guild and wait for you in the deepest conference room."

"... by whom?

"My name is Bosque Silva."

I hear that name and remember what happened in the dungeon.

(I see, is that related to that commotion)

Then past the back of the brain is the giant over 2m seen only for a little while in the dining room. And above all, it's the giant claymore that was on its back.

(Well, what kind of errands... I don't want it to be a sinister atmosphere if I can)

Thinking that way, Ray and Elaine ascend the stairs and arrive at the room at the bottom of the second floor.

"ghosts or snakes"

I groaned, knocking on the door, and there was an immediate reaction.

"Come on in."

When I hear that word and then open the door, there's the man I saw the day before.

Exactly, in the room, was it disturbing to carry Claymore, or was it left unmade on the table?

No, it would be the only one with that degree of arm who sees it as unmade. If the viewer sees it, he'll see that Bosque is in a position to get out of Claymore instantly.

... even if that's nearly 30 skewers on the table.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you."

While greeting Ray with his left hand up, his right hand is stretched out for skewering.

Carry the skewers straight to your mouth, and when you stick them to the meat at hand, pull the skewers straight through at once, and in one bite, tuck all of the meat into your mouth.

The next thing I reached out to was a barrel with wine. When the wine is poured into the unconstructed cup - but also about the size of a bowl - pour the meat straight into it and tummy the skewers that are in your mouth.

"Phew... I'm sorry, I still have a lot of fine work to do as a ruler of the city. Because of this, we are having a meal that can be considered lunch or dinner.... and you already know why I called you guys, right?

"Oh, what happened in the dungeon today, right? You're moving so fast."

"That's right. Anyway, I'm just a young man, and the lightness of my footwork is for sale."

With a grin on his mouth, he stands up from the chair he was sitting in and approaches Ray and Elaine.

After a few seconds of silence as it is......

"You've helped my disciples, and I appreciate it!

Tell him so, and bow your head aloud.

That was too unexpected a sight. I had no idea the owner of one of the three houses ruling Exil would turn his head down so easily.

Or it was Ray or Elaine who thought it was just a show of gratitude, but the sight of him actually bowing his head like this is serious in itself.

At least to Ray and Elaine, it just seemed like she was seriously bowing her head.

"Surprise."

"... is this how I bow my head?

Bosque asks with his head up, which he was lowering to Ray's words.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so winning from yesterday's exchange."

"Surely I wouldn't do that if I were normal. I know that best myself. Except for those guys. Disciples who rely on me to admire me, including those guys. That's the biggest asset to me. That's more important than money."

"... ho"

You must have liked that word. I was listening next to Ray. I shrug like Elaine was impressed.

"So, yeah. This is a thank you from me. Take it."

Whimpering, it was a few gems that got me out of my hip pochette. Not that big in size, but still a mix of things like rubies, emeralds and turquoise for a total of 6.

Ray quickly understands what that number of gems means. That is, the number of adventurers the Rays helped in the dungeon.

"Are you sure?

"Oh, it's not just my money. They're offering you nearly half of their lives because you saved them. In fact, you gave me all of Sword Bee's magic stones, so they didn't force it out either."

"Whatever. Well, they're disciplined, not by what they seem."

You too, Bosque, with a luxurious grin at the nuance.

Ray, who was watching that, for some reason, Elk's face, who is also the Axe leader of the Thunder God, passes in the back of his brain.

(Similar?... Well, speaking of similarities, are they similar? Especially when it comes to taking care of your people)

While I somehow think of it that way, I take it from Bosc, who handles the jewels in a small bag.

If it were, it could be said that the lives of several adventurers were excessive. That's all I can say about the adventurer's life being cheap, but the person who gave it to him nodded satisfactorily, not looking particularly concerned.

Return to the seat where you were sitting and begin to carry the skewers back to your mouth.

I'm done with this one, I guess that's what I'm talking about.

But that's how I decided to leave the room. I can call Ray and Elaine back again.

"Hey, what brings you to this Exile, also known as Deep Red and the Princess General? I mean, he's got a nickname, but he's just diving in a dungeon."

"There's nothing wrong with that, is there? That's what this dungeon is all about."

"... are you sure?

"Well, I don't know. But at least for now, there's no other purpose. I have hobbies like collecting magic items and magic stones, but I'm not thinking about what to do with this city."

I don't know how I got that word, but I never asked the two of you that Bosc was leaving for anything more.
