"You threw up easier than I thought."

Three rooms from the researcher's man's room… In front of the room used as a warehouse, Vihera grunts so briefly.

I'm saying it's easy, in fact, the researcher guy was the first to ask Ray a question... he didn't talk about where the black crystal was or anything like that, and he managed to mislead me with other information.

That's the same even with several long needle penetration marks on both arms… Still, the researcher's man didn't say where the black crystal was.

It looked painful to see, but given what the researchers said and did, there was no room for sympathy... there was even a thin, bloody stench in the room.

Even then, regardless of the information that doesn't matter, I guess the man was excellent as a researcher around what he never said about important information.

I could simply say that I had a strong obsession with the black crystals I was studying.

Either way, the man who was silent for such a reason ultimately said where the black crystal was because Ray peeled off the raw nails of the man's hands, chopped his fingers, and when it was over, he chopped his palms, and the next time he chopped his arms, he said to his mouth.

No, I didn't just mouth it, I actually peeled a man's pinky raw nails off with a knife.

That made it the biggest fatal blow to break a man's mouth.

Of course, I didn't say anything about getting my arms pierced with a long needle, so it's not like I lost my pain.

Simply because if you can't use both hands, you will suffer damage to the point of fatality as a researcher.

If I can't experiment as a researcher, I can't write a report or anything like that, naturally.

Sometimes, of course, if you have a magic item prosthetic, you can work it out, but that's only if you're a very high-performance magic item prosthetic.

If Jaya were asked if he would give such an expensive magic item prosthetic hand to a man...... probably no.

The man was capable as a researcher, but still not as capable as there was no alternative.

If it comes down to it, there are other researchers of similar strength, and the man wasn't originally affiliated with Jaya, he was brought here by force.

More than that, there was really no reason to trust them completely.

The man, too, is really reluctant because he knows that... as for himself, I guess that's the thought that wouldn't be strange to shed tears of blood, and he told me where the black crystal is.

(Bottom floor of the fifth basement.... Well, it's a promise or a pattern)

As he sees Bühne about to unlock the door, Ray turns his mind to where the black crystal is located.

Note that there was no distance from the man's room to this warehouse, but there was still an emergency or the trap was activated.

Most of the traps were also disarmed by Byune, and the traps that could not be disarmed could easily be broken by Rays.

Although Büne is basically a fight-specific bandit, his skill as a purely bandit is never low, and he has average skill.

Even now, Büne was trying to unlock the room used as a warehouse.

... The man's room earlier was tight with a stick, but I guess this means a warehouse even where I keep the consumables.

It was easy, but it was locked tight.

"I guess that guy meant he was a researcher, for better or worse.... Honestly, I didn't like what I was researching because it was stuff, but perhaps something more... I guess that's what I wouldn't have disgusted so much if I had researched things like potion research that didn't do people any harm."

"Even potions can be life-threatening in some cases?

"Right. I've heard that overdose is bad for your health. I've heard of people who kept using it continuously and were immune to potions."

"... what? Immunity? Does that mean the potion will no longer work?

Getting out of Elaine's mouth was also the first story I'd heard for Ray.

"That's true. But it's not like we can handle it in a few bottles. If you've been using potion for days, you don't have to think about it."

"Potions for days on end, what the hell kind of opponent do you fight to do that?

"When I heard about the immense excavation from the ruins of an ancient magical civilization... that's the Mejougo building. Fight against a golem about three minutes tall. You think it took more than five days to defeat anything? Of course, he didn't keep fighting alone, he fought while taking turns at a bunch of parties."

"... kinda interested"

"Right. I'm interested, too."

Vihera also agrees with Ray's words.

But in Ray and Vihera, that part of interest was subtly different.

Ray said he was interested simply because he wanted to see the golem.

Isn't that what super robots are like? I thought...... in the case of Vihela, that's the word that came out of my battle desire to try and fight such a mighty enemy.

Basically, if the opponent is strong, just Vihella, who has no problem with that, I guess a golem bigger than the house was the opponent that stimulates the fighting appetite.

With those two words in the pipe, Marina continues her words.

"Anyway, the adventurer who overused the potion in his battle with the Golem has hardly recovered from using the potion for some time after that."

"Wow..."

From Vihera's mouth, a pitiful grunt leaks.

Ray, too, I know how that feels.

Even wizards are quite rare.

Even fewer of them can use healing magic, and you are very fortunate to be able to party with someone who can use healing magic.

And those who have not been fortunate will naturally have to use potions to recover.

Using that potion will make it difficult to act as an adventurer if the injury does not heal or is less likely to heal.

Also, the current use of healing magic in the wings of the Red Lotus will be the marina.

Because there is something in the Spirit Magic of Water that heals the injury.

When Ray was working solo, potion was the main means of recovery.

Most importantly, in Ray's case, there was a powerful protective device called a dragon robe and his high motor nerves, which rarely meant he was injured fighting his enemies.

"Mmm!"

As the Rays talk about the potion, Bühne shrugs inadvertently.

What Ray saw with his gaze toward the door to that voice was an open door.

(I could have forcibly broken the door and went inside... but they stopped me from getting what's inside if there was a trap)

Most importantly, the room used as this warehouse is not what I wanted more than just consumables.

But if Ray may have fewer magic items than he initially expected, he needs to make some money somewhere.

... In fact, Ray doesn't really want anything because he already has enough wealth to play and live for the rest of his life even if he's a normal person several times again... around here, Ray's personality will come out, let's get what we can get.

Not to mention, if we anticipate what this underground facility will do in a few hours, everything in the warehouse could turn into charcoal.

That's why I had Büne unlock it...

"Well, I guess I could say this is expendable. I didn't think there was a pile of cloth."

Yes, it was in the warehouse, tons of cloth.

Ray doesn't even know whether to use it for experimentation or for normal life, but a cloth of such good quality was packed all over the room.

"What did you use it for?... maybe the guy earlier was sewing his own clothes or something?

Ray anticipates the sight of Vihella's, too unsuitable prediction... it blows up unexpectedly and so on.

But I will soon utter words that deny it.

"No, isn't that it? It was a pretty sloppy one when I saw it. How many days did the outfit stay on?"

Could you be wearing clothes until they get dirty and throwing them away instead of washing them? And I thought Ray, but for now it doesn't go out in my mouth, I take the cloth nearby and store it in mysteries.

Trying to store whatever you can for now.

One after the other, we'll store the cloth that was in the warehouse, and eventually there will only be about a shelf in the room.

Ray can't even think of how to use all this cloth for anything, but he'll be able to use it for something for now, or he can sell it straight to some store at worst.

Normally, the cloth is pretty tense and hard to carry, but for Ray with the mistering, that didn't pose any problem.

"Well, was the next room five miles from here?... If you can, why don't you break the door quickly instead of unlocking it? This warehouse didn't seem to have a trap or anything."

"Mmm!"

To Ray's words, don't let Bühne take his job! and mouth dissatisfaction.

I'm aware of you as a bandit, Beaune, but the fact that that bandit's skills are useful at this party doesn't mean much.

That would be the honesty that in the case of the Rays, we don't have to bother to untie them because we can do anything with force.

It cannot be denied that Büne's becoming a fight-specific bandit is also affecting the area.

Ray, who rarely understood that Bühne was unhappy with his words, opens his mouth to tell Bühne like that.

"You may have forgotten, but we're staging an ambush on this underground facility. It hasn't been that long since we got into this underground facility, so I don't think there's a problem... but still, you know we should do something about it as soon as possible, right?

"Mmm."

To Ray's words, Beaune shrugs with a slight weakening of her tone.

Actually, Ray isn't as worried about words as he is about words.

Seto guards the biggest entrance and exit to this underground facility.

I don't think there's an opponent in this Labourina country, and in Jaya, who can fight Seto against each other.

I didn't know the man earlier, but I can't deny the possibility of reinforcements coming from somewhere else than to be certain that there are other entrances and exits in this underground facility.

... Still, Ray would insist it was no problem.

In fact, there's no one in this basement who fights and remembers the threat so far.

That was the only result that even the gatekeepers, who were said to be the most elite, could have been ravaged by the Vihelas.

The only worry would still be the giant.

How strong exactly is it? And how many are there?

I just have to count it as an element of uncertainty, more than I know what's going on around it.

"Whatever, hurry up a bit... and so is the giant thing, but we have to do something about the black crystal"

Originally, Ray was a whore who was pregnant with a giant and didn't even want to do something about it, but there's no way he could do something about it.

At the time the giant was born, the whore would lose his life.

Or maybe there's a means of forcing her to have an abortion if she's just pregnant...... Ray doesn't even have the thought of such a means.

(If you can, is that enough to kill you without suffering, without letting you realize you're dead)

I know you didn't read Ray's thoughts like that, but neither does Büne look like he's complaining any more than that.

Make sure all the cloths in the room are gone, and the Rays go outside the room.

We kept going down the road and eventually arrived at another warehouse.

"Hmm? This... I see"

The moment I broke the door, from the scent that drifted from it, I could easily imagine what room it was.

Even if Ray doesn't have as sharp a sense of smell, it's not a difficult story to smell it drifting through a broken door, and the others notice what's inside that warehouse.

"You're right, researchers are people, so there's no way you can eat anything."

As the marina squeaked smudgingly, everything in that warehouse is food.

And Ray would not have any trouble with the food for now, so he kept it in the mistering gradually.
