Legend

"Is this... the fourth basement floor of the dungeon?

"Mmm."

Biune nods small at Elaine's words as she looks around and whines.

"Beaune, what brings us to a place like this?

"Mmm!

I shake my head slightly frowning at the next word of Vihera that was uttered.

The first to understand the meaning of the act was, unexpectedly, Ray.

"You didn't like being a spectacle around there like that, did you?

"Mmm!"

You're right about Ray's words, and he just nods.

Why Ray figured it out was because Ray himself felt that way. I knew Ray himself would say that he was a party, but the accommodation he felt in that situation was similar to that of Büne himself.

Considering that Ray himself was the most tense person in the matter and that Büne himself was a completely irrelevant person, Büne would have been overwhelmingly superior in his staying against the place.

"Mmm!"

Point straight at the passage from the room with the stairs and the magic formation to the fourth basement floor and tell them short.

That's probably why I figured out what Bühne was talking about, because my relationship with Bühne was such a long Vihera.

"Are you sure? I thought you said we were headed to the lower tier today."

"Mmm."

Biune snorts that there is nothing wrong with Vihella's words. That gaze is then directed at Ray and two and two Elaine, Seto and Yellow.

"Huh? The Rays with you?

"Mmm."

"... that's unusual. Even though I basically don't like working with people."

That was the Vihera I would tell you, but it seems an exception that the person is working with that Bühne.

"Mm-hmm."

Or I guess it has something to do with basically saying that you can communicate your will with Bühne, who only speaks of 'n'.

I think to myself like that, Ray, watching the two of us.

After a few exchanges, Vihera eventually turns her gaze to the Rays.

"Take it. Why don't we act together today? Beaune says that's good."

"... with you, huh?

Elaine asks back with a slight frown, but Vihera takes it with a small shoulder.

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind if Bühne says he wants to. Besides, without you, if Ray were here, it wouldn't be a problem."

"Don't be stupid. What makes Ray have to be with an exposed maniac like you? Me and Ray are partying, so naturally I'm with you if Ray wants to stay.... thievecats need surveillance eyes."

"Oh? It's hard for a woman who isn't confident in her charm. What if Ray chose me instead of such a tough woman, too? I'm not gonna do anything to tie you up, am I?

Even with that invitation to Ray, it's Elaine who's got that gaze on her.

It was an obvious provocation, but I guess it still can't be overlooked for Elaine. Stare at Vihera with a sharp gaze.

But Vihera, stared at with such eyes, even smiles and returns her gaze.

"Do you want to do it? As far as I'm concerned, no problem at all.

Unexpectedly Ray calls out in a sigh of sigh to Vihera, who takes a challenging look at Elaine while standing on her armor.

"No, don't because it's a problem. More than that, why is it the fourth basement floor?

Ray was forcefully off the record, but even as Elaine, I was concerned about that, so I'm going to leave the Vihella thing aside for now.

However, Vihera had already been engraved in Elaine as a noteworthy being.

Without knowing that I am perceived as such - although I might be more than welcome for the purpose of enjoying the fight in the case of Vihela - Vihela and Buune look lightly open their eyes and gaze at Ray.

"Don't you know?... Elaine, you too?

"They don't call you by name... what are you talking about?

"... ha, on attacking the dungeon, it's usually information I know"

"Mmm."

To the words of Vihera, Bühne nods naturally.

I guess I didn't know what that meant. Ray and Elaine look at each other and tilt their necks.

... Note that Seto and Yellow were similarly inclined to their necks next to each other for some reason.

"Mmm."

I guess that look was bumpy. Büne gently reaches out and strokes Seto and Yellow's head, both of whom are caressed with great care.

It was Vihera who was looking at such an exchange between one and two people with a genuine sense of understanding somewhere, but she immediately returns to me and continues to explain.

"You know I can use dungeon cards to transfer myself to the hierarchy I've been in, because I've used them many times before, right?

"Oh."

"Even if you have the face to act together in that transition, you can only transfer to the hierarchy you've reached. For example, if adventurers who reach the 10th basement and adventurers who reach the 20th basement move together, they can only move to the 10th basement."

"... who decides that we're going to act together?

"It's a transfer device. Ma, it's just an ancient magic device, and I guess it has the ability not to think of anything. It seems that some theories say they are reading the user's thoughts, but the details are unknown. Whatever it is, it's a rare transfer device. If you look around and break it, you can't even see it, so they won't give you permission to investigate."

Surprised Ray and Elaine opened their eyes unexpectedly to Vihella's explanation, both of whom had gathered various pieces of information in advance, because they were the first to hear about the information.

"So you're saying that Vihela and Bühne moved to the fourth basement because we've only reached this point?

"You will.... I would have preferred a hierarchy with stronger enemies as far as I'm concerned. How's Bühne?

"Mm-hmm!

Biune nods after a few thoughts. As always, there is no such expression on its face, and it remains faceless.

However, it seems that Vihera, who is still somewhat associated, can read that emotion from a little trick, smiling small and gently stroking Büne's head, which is only as tall as his torso.

(... heh. You look like this, too)

Ray, who was watching how it went, accidentally squeaks inside.

When it comes to the look on Vihera's face that Ray has seen so far, it's almost like seducing Ray... or provoking him. Even if it was provocative, it was different from what it was for Elaine and what it was for Ray.

"Well, you get that look, too. This is a little surprising. Do I have to change my impression of being an exposed maniac thief cat?"

"... oh? Oh? A woman who looks great naming a princess general or some embarrassing alias, not sure about her charm says something... is this me being sold a fight? Of course I'll buy it, right? Now I'll buy you a fight with a big 9 discount."

Vihera hears Elaine's words and puts up her fist with a grin.

But the grin was the opposite of the gentle grin that was floating around when I was stroking Bühne.

(Same grin. How could this be...)

An unexpected accomplishment, Ray exhales unexpectedly.

Beaune gently taps Ray's shoulder like that, desperately reaching out and stroking that red hair from the top of her hood.

"Mmm."

Ray was stroked as if to encourage him, but when he turned his gaze again towards Elaine and Vihella, he sighed small and opened his teasing mouth.

I wonder how many sighs it is today. Think that way.

"Look, there's no fighting anyway. So, to sum up, is it okay that Bühne and Vihella are going to act with us today? Honestly, I think it would be a waste of time if you guys reached a pretty deep level."

To Ray's words, naturally so, Vihella and Büne shake their heads vertically in alignment.

"Oh? And Beaune?... Well, fine. As far as I'm concerned, it's a big deal to be able to see Ray and all those solid fights up close."

"Hmm, who's solid?"

Elaine squeaks dissatisfied, but Vihera turns her gaze to Bühne without looking like she cared about it.

"Mmm."

It was a few bottles that I took out of my hip pouch with that word. It is a small bottle about 5 cm high and is made of something like blue glass. And I can make sure there's some liquid in there.

"What's that?

"Oh, I see"

Vihera nods, trying to overlap Ray's doubts and words.

"What the fuck is that?

"It's a liquid you can take from the body of a monster named Seal Worm, often seen on this fourth basement floor. When you touch the air, it hardens in seconds, so you save it in a bottle with a special treatment."

"Seal Worm?... Sure, he was a worm-based monster, right?

With that said, Ray remembers what was previously written in the monster atlas in the back of his brain.

Seal Worm, a white potato worm about 50 cm in length, spits liquid from the mouth as the biggest feature. The liquid hardens in seconds when it touches the air and can stop the subject from moving. However, it is solid enough to crush lightly with some force, and the Monster Rank is also E. The crusade proof site is the right fang. The only material that can be stripped is the fangs, which are also crusade proof sites.

"When it comes to liquids, it's the guy Seal Worm spits out of his mouth, right? What are you gonna do with that?

"Mmm!"

They say that, and Beaune sticks out the bottle to protest.

Looking like some bully, Vihera opens her mouth with a small grin.

"Not much is known, but Seal Worm's liquid is quite beneficial as an alchemy material. … most importantly, Seal Worm. Even if it's beneficial, it's not that expensive and traded.... normally."

"Normal, then?

"Sort of. Someone made it possible to use it as a material about magic items in their own way. So, if there's a connection to a certain person, Bühne can buy it pretty high."

"... a certain person?

Ray asks concerned about his lying down name, but Vihera recieves with a grin on her face.

Even if I was just interested in Ray, I guess there are things I can and can't talk about.

"Anyway, that's why we have no problem working with Ray."

"It's not just Ray, it's me."

"Oh, did I? Then I'll forgive Elaine for following me."

"You know what? That's how you fight with me..."

"Mmm!"

You realize it's going to be a contention again, before Ray arbitrates. Büne goes out between the two of them and opens his hands.

No fighting! And while showing with attitude, Elaine is also slightly confused just not to change her expression.... Although only Vihera was immediately sighing down the fist she stood on.

It's Ray who speaks out there. I guess you decided that even as we were talking here, we wouldn't be able to talk forever.

"Look, we're going anyway. The lead is Bandit Bühne and Fighting is the main Vihera. Zhongwei's dead. Me with a weapon. Elaine the sword. The guards are good for Seto and Yellow, okay?

Ray taking Death Size out of Mystering with that word.

A huge blade in a pattern exceeding 2 m, as much as it deserves. Seeing that great sickle that attracts the beholder, Vihera unwittingly raises an exclamation.

"This is Ray's original weapon..."

The first time I see it, Vihera squeaks unexpectedly and so on.

"Mmm."

I rarely open my eyes smaller than usual in that faceless face, even if it makes me a beaune looking at Death Size once before when I met him.

But I should say just fine. Two people, Vihera and Bühne, return to me immediately.

"I don't really recommend using a long-pattern weapon in a dungeon... well, only Ray would have no problem with it"

"Mmm."

"Right. Honestly, if I saw you using such a ridiculous weapon if not Ray, it would be more normal... that's what I'd tell you to use a sword or something"

"That's what you say, Elaine, because the weapon must be a serial sword that made it look like a long sword, right? It's harder to handle than my death size."

"... a sword attached to a sickle. It's not common for people to build weapons."

Vihera shrugged, but it should be said that Elaine waited for it.

"You didn't expect a guy like me to tell you he was using his armor and toenail as a weapon. And with the same gear, when it comes to armor, I have armor, and Ray has a robe. In spite of that, what is that protective gear of yours?... I honestly don't want to call that protective equipment."

Clothes that cover only the rich double hills and lower body, which at first glance can only be seen in underwear. From above, there are multiple layers of cloth that are so thin that the other side can see through. If those who certainly have no knowledge of anything see Vihela, they will think of it in such a way as dancers and whores, not adventurers.

... Most likely, if you were a whore, you would be a very upscale whore with that beauty.

But Vihera smiles provocatively on the contrary, twisting her body to show off, to some blameworthy gaze - which also implies that Ray's eyes are poisonous.

"It's okay, because even if this thin coat looks like this, it's one of the magic items, with slashing and penetration, and a strong resistance to magic. That's why the blade will be more damaged if you do something with the blade around it."

"If it's slaughter and penetration, what about defense against impact? That's hammers and axes."

"You just have to hit that."

"Mmm!"

You will not be attacked. Next to a confident grin, there was a Bühne claiming that his gear was the most decent of these.
