Volume 1
Chapter 41-A worrisome past and unorganized thoughts
(TL:By Rafael)
After a short rest, we stepped out into the colorless darkness again.
We gradually got used to the scenery, which was still changing rapidly, and the speed of our progress increased little by little.
We had some battles with demonic monsters along the way, but we didn't face any major crises as we made our way deeper.
Perhaps it was a good thing that we took a break in the safety room.
Excessive tension accelerates fear and slows you down.
"...... No problem. Let's move on."(Nene)
Nene, who had returned from her advance warning, called out to us from behind a corner.
Her face was covered with small scratches, and blood was slowly seeping through.
"Wait, Nene. You're hurt."(Yuki)
"It's just a scratch."(Nene)
"I have magic power. You don't need to worry about it. Come here, Show me ."(Yuki)
I beckoned her to come over, and used my healing magic to cover the wound on her cheek that was still bleeding.
It's a deeper cut than it looks.
I wonder if it hurts.
'Report even the slightest injury immediately. Besides, no matter how much of an adventurer you are, what if it leaves a scar on a girl's face?"(Yuki)
"It's too late for that now."(Nene)
When I looked closely at Nene's face, which was smiling, I could see that she had a few scars in places.
Although it's hidden by makeup, this is an abrasion,......, or perhaps a laceration.
Someone had struck Nene in the face with a thin whip or something. Until it ripped and snapped.
(TL:f**k that person)
"It's not caused by Mamaru. It's an old wound."(Nene)
"Are you in pain?Are you fine?"(Yuki)
"No, I'm fine. Besides, it's my own fault."(Nene)
Nene smiled, a little overwhelmed.
I'd better not go too deep into it.
"I see. But you must report your injuries immediately. You never know what could be fatal."(Yuki)
"Rogerssu Come on, this way."(Nene)
Nene resumed leading the way, unconcerned about my rude behavior.
As I followed her, I realized that I was getting a little frustrated.
What kind of a reason could someone have to treat a young girl like that, to leave a mark on her face?
"Yuki, focus."(Rain)
Rain, walking in front of me, turns and looks at me.
Rain is as perceptive as ever.
You're not magically reading my mind, are you?
"It's all over your face. You should ask her over a drink sometime."(Rain)
"Yeah, sure."(Yuki)
"Nya-ha-ha. It's no big deal. I'll tell you all about it when we have some expensive drinks."(Nene)
Nene, who seemed to be listening to the exchange, laughed jokingly.
"I see. Then I'll open the best sake I have when I get back."(Yuki)
"Anything but citrus, please."(Nene)
(TL: Cats don't like lemon nya)
I wondered if the apple cider I had secretly borrowed from Benwood's office would suit Nene's palate.
◇
"Okay, that's a good pace."(Yuki)
We made our way smoothly through the labyrinth and reached the stairs to the second basement in less time than I had expected.
Since then, we have not encountered any powerful demons and have not found any abnormalities that would result in ...... another investigation.
"This magic tool artifact is amazing."(Nene)
Nene muttered, staring at something like a compass.
"I often use [Call of the Wind] when exploring the labyrinth for the first time."(Yuki)
"I've never seen it before. I didn't know such a useful thing existed. ......"(Nene)
(TL: In comes the plot Armour)
The Wind Caller is a magical artifact that resembles a compass, but more accurately, it is a tool for sensing the flow of wind.
It senses the minute currents of air flowing from the basement of the labyrinth towards the entrance, and points in the direction of the stairs and doorways.
With this, you can easily grasp the location of the stairs even when you are in a labyrinth for the first time, and you can expect to escape when you get lost.
I was relieved to see that it seemed to be effective even in "Colorless Darkness," which changes its interior frequently.
"Now, let's take a break and sort out what we've done so far."(Yuki)
There are so many abnormalities everywhere, it's hard to know what's abnormal."(Silk)
Silk had a good point.
First of all, we need to understand the normal standards of this colorless darkness in order to understand the abnormalities.
The only thing we can determine is that it is very abnormal compared to other dungeons.
"I think it's that shark head and the black box."(Marina)
"That's right. I've beaten a lot of demon monsters, but that shark head was special."(Nene)
As I sit facing the wall, Marina and Nene offer their opinions from behind me.
They are now in the middle of cleaning up.
"Certainly. Also, I'm sure Nene is hunting some of them, but are there fewer demon monsters?"(Yuki)
"It's because we're walking the shortest distance. The magic artifacts are a big help."(Nene)
"I see, that's one of the reasons."(Yuki)
Certainly no one in the delivery party was using the【Wind Priming】.
It's probably because there are no alchemists to adjust the magic tool artifacts in the labyrinth.
I jotted down my opinions in my notes.
Isn't it hard to do?You can turn around and face me.It's not like I'm completely naked."(Marina)
" Don't be silly, I know the etiquette at a party."(Yuki)
"I don't care, I've already seen everything!"(Marina)
"Gosh!"(Silk)
She coughed to shut Marina up.
I'm just being careful because you are like this!
"Let me know when you're done."(Yuki)
I let out a small sigh and accelerate my thoughts.
The key to this is the shark-headed demon monster, which was not mentioned in any of the logs, and the black box, which appears to be an unformed magic tool artifact.
The encounter with a demon monster that doesn't fit the hierarchy is a good sign of an overflow, and we should be suspicious of the contents of the treasure chest as well.
I'd dismissed it as luck, but the appearance of a treasure chest in the safety room of the first level is unusual, isn't it?
As for the contents of the chest, I'm sure the quality of the treasure is good enough for the Colorless Darkness, but is it really appropriate?
Normally, the contents of the treasure chests that appear in the shallow layers are in line with that.
Like the strength of the demon, the theory goes that the treasure obtained will be proportional to the risk of the hierarchy.
Is that treasure chest that suddenly produced high quality magic tool artifacts and unidentifiable magic tool artifacts really appropriate?
Wait, ......?
Rain's magic bag,
Come to think of it, wasn't that an anomaly too?
It's performance is too good to be found in the second level of the Lesser Dungeon.
If it's ......, then it means ......!
"Don!"(Marina)
"Whoa!"(Yuki)
I feel soft touch and some weight on my back.
Yuki, I can't understand you unless you say it! Don't look so scared, just talk to me."(Marina)
"Oh, yeah, ....... Wait a minute. I'm not quite sure what I want to say."(Yuki)
"Really?"(Marina)
Hurry up and get off my back first, ...... because I'm not sure I can think of anything else.
If you're going to hug me anyway, put on your armor like you always do.
...... It's kind of comfortable, isn't it?
