Volume 1
Chapter 45-Second entry and Marina's suggestion.

{Kofi Supporter- Jour}
"Alright, then, let's start the second attack."(Yuki)
After confirming the activation of "Gopuro-kun", we all checked the formation and descended the stairs.
Once again, Benwood accompanied me to see me off.
It's not that I'm a fan of his overprotection, but I can't argue with him when he says, "You're overprotective of those girls, too."(Benwood)
Our goal this time was to reach the three-level staircase area and investigate any anomalies. When we discover an anomaly, we will make an appropriate decision and retreat if necessary.
In order to share the goal of the action, I reiterate it aloud.
"Let's be careful and have fun."(Yuki)
All of us nodded our heads as we said the words that had become our rallying cry in recent days.
I know it's a bit of a stretch to talk about labyrinth-building as if it were entertainment in this unusual situation, but I think it's fine for us.
This is the stage of our dreams, "Colorless Darkness".
It's much more positive than just diving for work.
Therefore, these words were common knowledge among all of us.
Even Nene, who had temporarily joined the team, had a special attachment to this court-appointed mission.
Her past was not something to be laughed at as she emptied her bottle of cider.
This request was a turning point in her life, and she was as serious about it as we were ......, maybe even more than us.
Nene's cat ears are fitted with earrings that have a small "Gopuro-kun" built in.
It's a special kind of live feed that allows us to focus on what's going on during the advance warning.
This is the latest magical artifact lent to us by the Royal Academy of Sciences for this court-appointed mission, and it is supposed to be a trial run for future mass production.
"Have a safe trip. Don't expect to surpass your previous achievement. You've done enough."(Benwood)
"Yeah, I know. I'll be back as soon as I feel it's unsafe."(Yuki)
I nodded to Benwood, checking the [Scroll of Exit] in the holder at my waist.
It's valuable, but it's not something you can't afford to give out.
Alchemists are only as good as the supplies they use.
Thanks to this ......, people call me a money-grubber.
(TL:Credit goes to someone like Simon, I guess)
So, let's go in.
As in the case of the raid a week ago, we proceeded through the stone passageway and entered the colorless darkness.
"I'll be on the lookout."(Nene)
"Yeah, it's probably fluctuating inside. Be careful."(Yuki)
"Please leave it to me."(Nene)
The reliable cat person puts on the [Hidden Cloak] and makes her way down the aisle without a sound.
This time, I had her boots modified as well. The boots have soles that have been soaked with a special oil that absorbs sound, so they don't make any noise unless you move very hard.
Although they need to be oiled and maintained from time to time, they should be an effective magical artifact to ensure Nene's safety.
Incidentally, Nene stopped me from commercializing it because it would be a problem if it was misused.
As expected, the advice of a former bandit carries a different weight.
(TL: Simpers..I mean readers note that under Nene's dark past)
"Silk, are you okay?"(Yuki)
"Yes, I'm fine. No problem, Yuki-san."(Silk)
After the trouble we had last time, I was expecting something to happen, but ...... Silk seemed to be unaffected.
She looks much more relaxed than she did the first time when she was nervous.
"I'm more worried about Yuki."(Rain)
"That's right. It's not his fault, but some people say it is!"(Marina)
"Well, it's true that I was a former party member ......."(Yuki)
It is true that I may have tried a little too hard.
In the end, I regret a little bit that I spoiled those guys.
However, I can't easily separate the two, as it was once a place where I belonged.
Benwood said he would have an apology sent out, but so far it hasn't happened.
At any rate, all of the A-rank members of Finis had made stupid comments. There may have been some confusion over what form to take.
If the situation is bad, Benwood could be removed from his position.
That would be a problem because there would be no one to watch over the Colorless Darkness, and if Benwood left, Mamaru would leave with him.
(TL: Are they a item?)
It would be a security problem.
"Everyone its okay."(Nene)
Nene's call interrupted my thoughts.
No, no, no. ...... I have to concentrate on the dungeon now.
"Let's leave those guys who blame you behind. Come on, let's go."(Silk)
"Oh, God. We're worried about you, Yuki."(Marina)
"Well, don't worry. We'll be fine as long as you're here with us."(Rain)
When Rain replied, the three girls all smiled shyly.
Looking at them, I felt embarrassed too.
I feel like I've been too honest lately, and my teacher's dignity is fading.
I guess that's a good thing, because it means I'm getting used to being in the party. ......
As if to disguise my coyness, I headed towards Nene's call.
As usual, the demon monsters that can be dealt with are dealt with, so we can go deeper and deeper while picking up demon stones.
Even for the second time, I couldn't get used to this mosaic of uneven scenery, but I wasn't as nervous as I was the first time, and I was able to move along at a good pace.
During the course of the game, there were some large demon monsters that stayed like gatekeepers, but they weren't as strange as the first time, and they were all demon monsters that I had seen in the logs and in the distribution.
So far, we haven't found any abnormalities in the demon monsters.
Incidentally, it seems that the shark-headed monster is still not well understood, and the Royal Academy of Sciences has casually commented, "If there is another one, please send us a specimen."
As for me, I don't want to meet people like that who have a lot of unknowns.
"Stairs, right there."(Nene)
In a small room through a corridor with an uneven landscape, a descending staircase opened up.
I checked the stairway area, just in case. I'm sure there are no footprints, so there is no danger.
"How were the traps along the way?"(Yuki)
"Almost none. If there were any, they were all simple movements, no magic traps. I deactivated all the traps on the way, was that wrong?"(Nene)
"No, that's okay. Thank you."(Yuki)
When I scanned the log, I heard that there were some pretty fierce traps, could this be part of the anomaly?
Anything that is not standard should be considered basically an anomaly.
It is possible that 'something' is going on that prevents the labyrinth from devoting resources to traps and keeping the demons in the hierarchy.
We'll go to the stairway area for a wear and tear check and to rest.We're going to the second level today. ...... But first, let's get some food. "Delivery cut."(Yuki)
We stop the delivery and start to lightly prepare for the encampment.
This time, I brought in a good amount of groceries so that we could have some variety in our meals.
Marina seemed to love it, saying that it was one of the purposes of the adventure, so it was hard for me to relax.
"Oh, yes. Yuki! Gopuro, turn it on again!"(Marina)
"Hmm? Why?"(Yuki)
We're going to show them dungeon food and show off to the people who made fun of Yuki! We're going to show them how awesome our Yuk is!"(Marina)
I couldn't help but burst out laughing at Marina's carefree smile.
The line between "amazing" and "awesome" is very adorable, just like Marina.
But the idea ...... is quite interesting.
"It's a good idea. It's our first dungeon meal in Colorless Darkness, and ...... we're going to make it a little more luxurious."(Yuki)
You're right! Nene, let's wipe each other down! We've got to finish this fast!"(Marina)
"Yesssu."(Nene)
I hurriedly turned my back on them as they began to happily take off their armor, and I began to think of a dungeon food menu that would look good to the audience.
