Ray and Seto, who emerged from the walls of a cliff with a dungeon, were the first adventurers to find the monster waiting to fall under the cliff.
Most of the time, after Ray and the others went into the dungeon, the monsters almost never fell off.
… the effect of the Rays' considerable reduction of the settlements of Goblin, Kobolt and Oak in the forest came directly from the forest.
Some were somewhat dissatisfied with that, but many naturally knew that this was a likely dungeon.
That's why not many people speak directly of their dissatisfaction with the Rays who are attacking the dungeon.
Although some of them blurred in the wind, such as making a little less money.
"Hey, that! It's Griffon! Does that mean you attacked the dungeon!?
"No way... it's too soon for that. Maybe there's some kind of tool you need, and you've been temporarily retreating?
"Anyway, you couldn't attack the dungeon and you ran away."
Even while we're talking about that, Seto eventually comes down to the ground.
Each one of them who was grasping at Seto's feet descends, followed by Seto, who put Ray on his back, descends to the ground.
Those who looked at Seto and talked about him in many ways, if they saw Seto and Ray close by, they would not be able to say anything at a distance that they could hear.
Most of all, that's a story if you don't know the Rays... and if you know the Rays face to face, it's a different story.
"Oh, you're back!
That's how I spoke to Ray, the first adventurers Rays spoke somewhat on their way into the dungeon.
He wants me to attack the dungeon, that's who he's been telling me.
"So, how was it? Inside the dungeon. Is it going to be hard to attack after all!?
"No, I've attacked you"
"... Huh?
I was the man who spoke out in the hopes of hearing about what was going on in the dungeon, but I didn't understand that word coming out of Ray's mouth at first.
I wonder what you're talking about.
Naturally. A dungeon is not the kind of thing you can do in a few days with a normal challenge.
It's not uncommon to overestimate the existence of a dungeon that much, especially if you try someone who has never directly challenged the dungeon.
I guess the guy who's been talking to Ray was that type, too.
"Uh, is that a joke or something?
"No, it's true. It's true. Here."
That said, what Ray showed was the nucleus of the dungeon cut by Death Size.
But... for a man who's never tried a thing called a dungeon, there's no way he knows what it is.
"What the hell, it"
"Dungeon Nucleus"
"Shh!? Is that true!?
Those who listened to Ray's conversation with the man around them to the word nucleus of the dungeon that came out of Ray's mouth also concentrate their consciousness there.
I guess I never thought I'd be able to see the nucleus of a dungeon in a place like this.
It's no surprise that the others, who had left it up to the man to talk to Ray, would want to hear from Ray if the nucleus of the dungeon were to come out.
"Hey. What are we gonna do with that dungeon nucleus? No, what can I use it for?
"Someone I know has a famous merchant who's not willing to sell it?
"I hear you say it can also be used for alchemy materials and stuff, is that true?
Other than that, various people show interest in the nucleus of Ray's dungeon.
Although some of them were clearly saying things that they thought were fraudulent or something.
"I'm sorry, but I'll keep this. I don't know what it can be used for, but it looks like it can be used for alchemy materials."
If Ray says so, most people will regret it, but give up without saying anything more.
Some thought for a moment as if they could not manage to take the nucleus of the dungeon from Ray, but they firmly understood that even a forceful imitation of an opponent like the one who attacked the dungeon in a few days would only reduce their lives.
Ray also understood that there was such an opponent.
However, I decide that there will not be any possibility of such an opponent actually coming at me, and keep my mouth open, not doing anything in particular.
"Well, then I'm sorry, but we think it's time to get back to the Goltz. I just attacked the dungeon, so you're tired. I want to get some rest. We need to report it to the Alliance."
"Huh? Ah, oh. Right. You attacked the dungeon, didn't you? Are you tired?"
The most tiring of the Rays is, naturally, the marina, which manipulated the water in the underground lake to a large extent.
But other faces are not so different in terms of mental fatigue.
Because a dungeon attack is not so easy to do.
Not to mention that Ray and the others almost came to terms with the boss all of a sudden.
And after destroying the nucleus of the dungeon, it was not strange when the dungeon disappeared, but it came out in a hurry.
So, there's no reason not to get tired.
"Hey, so... what happens to that dungeon now?
"You can even tell me that. To be honest, all I'm saying is I don't get it."
If this makes the dungeon a normal place… like a cave, it won't look particularly unusual.
In this case, however, the space in the dungeon was clearly distorted.
Otherwise, things like underground lakes and... not to mention forests that even exist like the sun are not a substitute for fitting into that cliff after all.
Not to mention, the Rays went from the woods to a space with rocky plants, from where they found a hidden door and went straight to the underground lake... where the boss was.
Considering that, it is possible that there were several other staircases in the woods, and it is not strange to be connected to such a place.
If so, there was no way I could have done that just in the space inside that cliff.
"I don't know... could that cliff collapse or something... is that possible?
"In the worst case scenario, that would be possible. That's why you should watch this dungeon carefully from now on. Just in case it sucks. Besides... I don't know what will happen to the monsters in the dungeon more than I know what will happen to the space inside"
There is a good chance that the cliff will collapse and the monster who survived it will come out.
Until now, the entrance and exit of the dungeon were midway up the cliff...... fairly high, so monsters who could not fly through the sky, starting with goblins, had fallen to the ground and died.
As a result, Goltz residents were able to obtain crusade proof sites, demonic stones, and materials even in some cases meat without doing anything in particular... From now on, such imitation is not possible.
It could also mean fighting the dungeon's survival and beating that opponent to finally get them.
Well, that's normal.
"... ok"
From what Ray said, I guess I understood the danger. The man nods with a serious look.
Having confirmed that, Ray was once again leaving Seto's cage and returning to the Goltz.
The moment you enter the guild in Goltz, the gaze of the adventurers and guild staff who were inside gathers to the Rays.
Naturally, the Goltz residents know that the Rays are challenging the dungeon, and yesterday they camped in the dungeon, so there was nothing like coming back to the Goltz.
Could it have been wiped out because the Rays didn't come back inside? Some said...... this is how all the Rays showed up in the guild, and the rumors disappear instantly.
While Ray also understands what kind of gaze they are being directed at, that gaze goes to the counter without looking particularly concerned.
If the Rays approach me, the receptionist who was surprised by its presence will also return to me and open his mouth with a grin.
"Welcome, Mr. Ray. Did you find anything unusual about being back again?
"No, the dungeon's offense has been successfully terminated, so let's report it."
"... Huh?
Takeshi.
Those who stood around listening also ascertain the words that came out of Ray's mouth in such a way as to gaze at the companions who were nearby and whether it was not a mishearing.
The surprise was conveyed to the people as if they were having a slightly earlier banquet at a tavern in the guild.
Some people act like they can't if they're normal because they're drunk.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa You're lying!?
The surrounding companions manage to calm down to the man screaming so as he blushes.
"Hey, Dazula. Keep it around there. He's an adventurer with an alias. I don't think you can get involved!
"Look, drink the water. Because this is what happens when you drink alcohol, even though it's usually serious. Oh, excuse me, gentlemen. Don't worry about us."
One man and one woman at a time, to Ray... and bow their heads toward the other adventurers.
The city of Goltz is a typical rural city.
So many of the adventurers know their faces and their names.
What happens if I imitate in such a place that it involves a high-ranking adventurer with an alias...... I don't think it will be that big of a problem because I know so much about Dazzla's liquor habits, but it could still be a nasty thing after tomorrow.
To avoid that, the two of his companions rushed to bow their heads.
But if you try to be a dazzler who is getting drunk and worried, you speak up to Ray saying that the care of such a fellow is not something you have learned.
"Hey, dude. Did you really attack the dungeon? Then show me the proof, give me the proof... hiccup."
Having glimpsed the drunken Dazzler, Ray quickly returns to talking to the receptionist as if he had lost interest.
"So, I'd like to see the Alliance Master, would you mind?
"Huh? Oh, yes. Then go ahead. The Alliance Master also tells us to let you through as soon as Mr. Ray and the others arrive."
The receptionist's words are also true, but we needed to let him know that the Rays were supposed to have come.
I guess I didn't do such an imitation because if I left the Rays as they were here, I definitely decided that Dazzlera would be involved and disturbed.
The two male and female members partying with Dazzla apparently understood the thoughts of such a receptionist. He did not speak to his voice, but gently bowed his head to show an attitude of gratitude.
That's how the Rays go inside the counter...... Dazzlera, left on the spot and shaped so neglected that there is no more, tries to say something...... two of his buddies pull forcefully and take him out of the guild.
It's not strange that they make a scene that it's an escape from eating because they haven't paid for it yet, but just because they're familiar with their faces, many people know how bad Dazula's liquor habits are.
I didn't have a particular voice to blame for coming to pay for it right away.
... Ning Lo, the will of those on the spot was unanimous in the realization that it was more important not to leave Dazula here to rub with Ray.
Thus, after Ray's appearance disappeared, those who were watching a series of actions would be relieved that it did not make a great deal of noise.
"Oh, you came back fast. So, what did you bring this time? I'm telling you, I don't know anything about that rock plant yet."
Entering the office, Guildmaster Vanillas looks at the Rays and says so.
He told the couch to sit down, told the receptionist to bring him a drink and some light food, and then again Vanillas faced the Rays.
To such vanillas, Ray grins.
"If you ask me what I brought, I'll be quick to say I brought this"
That said, it was the nucleus of the dungeon that took it out of the mistering.
Only the Alliance Master, Vanillas quickly understood what Ray put out.
I understood... but I look at Ray with an incredible look, and at other faces besides Ray.
The last time that my gaze was turned was at the marina, who still looked a little tired.
Sometimes he's a former guild master, and if he's a marina, he'll know what he's trying to say.
A marina with such a gaze returns a small nod.
"Undoubtedly, the nucleus of this dungeon is the nucleus of the dungeon on the wall of that cliff that we were challenging."
Yes, I assured you.
