(TL:By Rafael)
It was the fourth day since we arrived in Duna.
After two days of resting and recovering from the hot springs, we had come to the shores of Lake Rhine, where a new labyrinth had been discovered.
The area is surrounded by a simple fence, sealed off by adventurer's guild staff and dispatched knights, and a few mobile cottages have been set up.
"The large cottage over there is the command center. The people from the Royal Academy of Sciences are also packed in there. I'll be watching you from there while you dive."(Manuela)
"So you have access to tablets in this area?"(Yuki)
"Yes. I heard that they brought some magical artifacts for the scholars to use. I don't know much about that kind of thing, but ...... it's gotten really convenient."(Manuela)
Manuela sighs a little.
It is true that the technological innovation of magical artifacts is remarkable these days.
After all, it wasn't until the current king that there was a movement to make magical artifacts useful in daily life.
The king, a former adventurer with a slightly different title, called the labyrinth a national asset.
It's a dangerous place, but it's been researched, operated, and appropriated,......, and the kingdom of Wellmeria has developed into what it is today.
It may be inevitable that the old-fashioned people can not keep up with it.
The man in front of me seems to have already mastered the use of a small tablet while complaining.
"What's the name of this labyrinth?"(Marina)
"It doesn't have a name because we don't know the whole story yet."(Manuela)
"Oh, yeah, ....... That's a little inconvenient."(Marina)
Manuela pats Marina on the shoulder and raises the corners of her mouth in disappointment.
"You might be the 'adventurers who named this dungeon'. Stay strong."(Manuela)
(TL: So it's Marina's dungeon now)
I felt my heart lift as she told me this.
The labyrinths that are discovered are named according to their historical origins and the aspects of their interior.
It is named after either the first adventurer to enter it or the adventurer who breaks through it.
If we become the "Named Adventurer," we will be entered into the Adventurer's Guild Chronicle as an official record. It would be an adventurer's dream come true.
"I'll leave you to it."(Manuela)
After leading us to the entrance of the labyrinth, Manuela turned on her heel toward the large cottage we had just left.
Now it's time to get down to business.
"Okay, let's have a pre-attack meeting to make sure we're on the right track. Silk, give us a plan."(Yuki)
"Yes."(Silk)
Silk takes out a memo and stands next to me.
"We'll basically proceed in the same way as in Colorless Darkness. The request is to break through to the fifth level underground. The only prior information we have is that one level is an underground canal type, the rest is unknown. Based on the location, we can expect the appearance of aquatic creatures, rodents, insects, or viscous creatures such as slime."(Yuki)
Silk nodded at me.
It's not much of a plan since we don't have much advance information, but it's well organized.
The only thing left to do is to proceed.
"Nene, perhaps, but I don't think I can use [Wind Priming]. The water flowing through it makes it less accurate."(Yuki)
It's a magical artifact that reads the minute flow of wind in an enclosed space.
Due to the nature of the waterway, there would be holes all over the place for waterways, and we couldn't rely on them.
"I can't rely on it so I'll leave it to you."(Yuki)
I nodded back to Nene, who nodded strongly, and looked up.
"Do you have any other questions about the raid?"(Yuki)
"Yes!"(Marina)
Marina raises her hand vigorously.
"Yes, Marina."(Yuki)
"I know we're talking about five levels, but where do you plan to go for your first attack today?How do you think we should pace ourselves?"
"Oh, that's what I was going to tell you. Today and tomorrow, we're going to give top priority to checking the stairs to the second basement level, while at the same time doing an extensive survey of the first basement level."(Yuki)
"Is that so?"(Marina)
I nodded at Marina's curiosity.
"We're talking about investigating up to the fifth level to open up the labyrinth dungeon to the public, but even with just the size of one level and information on demon monsters, we can get some idea of the scale and level of danger. Also, there's not always one staircase to the next level. I want to be sure of the information on the first level."(Yuki)
At any rate, this was the first time for me to investigate a labyrinth for the first time.
I want to be solid first.
"So, we'll have to pace ourselves for the long haul!"(Silk)
"That's right. If we can secure the stairway area, we can take a rest there. Let's give top priority to finding the stairs."(Yuki)
Everyone nodded at my words.
"Then we'll activate Gopuro-kun. Let's have some fun and be careful."(Yuki)
After activating the delivery magic tool artifact, we stepped into the labyrinth.
"It's dark. ......"(Yuki)
I was expecting it to be an underground waterway type, but I didn't realize there was no light source at all.
This is indeed a labyrinth that has just been discovered.
Rain, who seemed to be thinking the same thing, lit up the tip of his wand with the magic of the "Light Light" to illuminate the surroundings.
The light illuminated a view of an old underground canal ...... made of arched brickwork.
The channel was about three meters wide. There was no smell, and the depth was unknown, but it was flowing.
In the light, there seemed to be some sort of bridge in some places, allowing people to cross to the other side.
"Moss, no."(Yuki)
In most labyrinths, a plant-type magical creature called "glow moss" thrives to provide a light source. ...... In the first place, it is said that it is the job of adventurers to set it up.
We use adventurers who can proceed through the labyrinth without any problems as chores, but how high will the rank of the request be?
"I can see well at night, so I don't need a light source."(Nene)
As a cat person, Nene has no problem seeing in the dark.
It would be a risk to hang a light source in this darkness.
"I'll put a fire in this, just in case."(Yuki)
I took out a cantera from my magic bag, lit it, and put it on my waist.
Magical lights alone are sufficient, but you want to be prepared in case the power of magic is shaken by traps or demonic monsters.
It is fundamental for an adventurer to have both physical and magical light sources.
"I'm going to scout ahead."(Nene)
"Oh, I'm counting on you."(Yuki)
I saw Nene running off as if she were melting into the darkness, and I steeled myself for the new atmosphere of the labyrinth.
TL Note- I would like to thank Jour and Dimitri( Sorry if I got the name wrong) for sponsoring the Chapter and the author didn't gave us a hot spring scene( technically he did) but the next Chapter will be dungeon exploration ig.
