Chapter 76 - Second Time Entering the Dungeon




It gushed out .


The thing that gushed out was a hot spring .

「Ha, hahahahaha . I did it, I did it, I did it!」

And there was one girl laughing loudly . Well, it was Kazane .


The cause of this was a story she heard in the Marukuni Hot Spring Town . It was a rumor that the source might be dormant near Rock Hold Cave .

Rock Hold Cave was at the foot of the Argo Mountain Range and was halfway between of the Marukuni Hot Spring Town and Tolda Hot Spring Town . There was a possibility . So with the possible location narrowed down to some extent, Kazane started using the ancient detection method, dowsing .

The detection method was a pendulum made from hanging the Infinite Key on a chain . The reason for using the Infinite Key was because it was an artifact with the concept of『Releasing,』so couldn't it release the location of the hot spring too? It wasn't a well thought out idea, but it was a splendid success . It was probably due to the effect of her『Intuition』skill . When she discovered this place her eyes started sparkling .

After that she dug up the source with Golem Maker, used Tatsuyoshi-kun to draw water from a river just like last time, and created a hot spring cottage based on the one she had made with Yuuko-nee (although it was the simple version, since Magic Power consumption would be intense otherwise) . She couldn't stop smiling about how smoothly it went .

Her companions, including Tiara said「isn't it impossible?」so they were stunned to see it when it was completed .


Anyway, they decided that this would be their base for the Rock Hold Cave exploration .

Hot springs banzai .



◎ Rock Hold Cave Entrance - Next Morning


They had stayed two nights at Marukuni Hot Spring Town, and Kazane discovered a natural hot spring near Rock Hold . Kazane and the others arrived at the entrance of the Rock Hold Cave, their destination .

「Hello administrator-san . 」

Kazane recognized his face and greeted the person at the entrance .

「Hello everyone, it's been a long time . 」

The Rock Hold administrator also recognized the appearance of Kazane's grouped and returned the greeting . It was a reunion for the first time in about a month .

「It has become somewhat noisier outside, right?」

「Yes, this dungeon has been raised from C rank to B rank . 」

When a dungeon grew, fundamentally the enemies were strengthened and the amount of layers increased … but the chance of encountering treasure boxes and the quality of the contents also increased . So the number of adventurers would increase as a matter of course .

「A variety of people have been coming and going . 」

「Which reminds me, the cleaning we talked about was done?」

In response to Zinray's question, the administrator replied「it finished without a hitch . 」

「But big game above anybody's imagination appeared on the 32nd layer, so it seems like things have come to a stalemate . 」

「It's because of the dragon, right?」

「Oh, you heard? That's right . I am told that it is the reincarnated body of a dragon defeated 600 years ago . 」

「Reincarnated body?」

Zinray explained after Kazane's question .

「Monsters in a dungeon don't increase by breeding but are revived specimens that lived in the past . Because of that, annihilated monsters can show up unnoticed . 」

「If enough ordinary monsters gather together the same thing can happen on the surface . 」

Louise supplemented Zinray's explanation .

「Especially among Childstone possessors, a famous monster that brought disaster on the surface in the past may appear . When it is clearly understood that a famous monster from recorded history has appeared it is called a reincarnated body . 」

「Then that dragon rampaged on the surface once upon a time . 」

The administrator nodded to Kazane's conjecture .

「Yes . Long ago there was a guild request to subjugate Black Rock Dragon Giove . 」

「There are still groups trying to advance, aren't there?」

「There are not .   There are three A rank adventurers stationed here at the moment, but the rest are B rank or less . Although it wouldn't be strange for a clan to come to a B rank dungeon, it has been less than a month since this one was certified . 」

「I see . 」

「What do you mean?」

Kazane asked Zinray .

「Inside a dungeon the opponent changes in each location and damage can accumulate . With such big game, a game of chicken normally begins with different adventurer groups repeatedly using hit and run tactics, but it seems the current gathering is poor . 」

「So you're saying we'll be the first spear?」

Zinray nodded in response to Yumika's question .

「No way, you're challenging it?」

The administrator looked at Kazane and the others with surprised eyes .

「I understand your ability, but isn't it too dangerous?」



「Well, we'll be judging that as we gradually advance . And Kazane, show him that . 」

At Zinray's words Kazane said「okey-dokey」and brought out the request form, then showed it to the administrator .

「This is a subjugation request!? The client is Her Majesty the Queen with the guildmaster's approval . 」

After seeing the contents, the administrator noticed the child who wasn't there last time .

「It couldn't be . . . 」

To his surprised face Kazane brought her index finger to her lips and said「shh . 」

The administrator had no choice but to nod .

「I more or less understand, this information is guild-only . 」

The administrator said in a shrill voice, and Kazane nodded and said「good . 」

「Well then, time to go, Sieg . 」

「Ye, Yes . 」

Kazane slapped Sieg's shoulder .

「Relax, relax . If you're not reckless you won't die . 」

「Yes . I'm fine . 」

Sieg talked to Kazane with a nervous face .

「It'll be fine, Sieg . Since you have the White Sword the early layers won't be a problem . 」

Tiara also said that to encourage Sieg .

「Yes . 」

Sieg answered reticently as he stared at the depths of the cave .

(It's not scary . I can do it . I can be useful to Kazane)

He repeat in his mind . And he took a step forward .



◎ Rock Hold Cave 1st Layer


「Uuuwaaaa . 」

Sieg shouted while his sword swished through the air . White magic blades were fired with every swing and minced the Civil Ants in front of him .



「It's a considerably powerful attack . 」

Louise talked as she watched from behind .

「Well, it's a non-elemental attack so it's strong against magic resistance and is quite handy, but it's overkill . 」

He stopped attacking after the sixth White Fang was fired . The Civil Ants were already defeated, but the breathless Sieg was still holding his sword towards the corpses of the Civil Ants .


「Ha, haa . It's over . 」

Sieg kept his sword ready for a while, but when the dust cleared he finally confirmed that the enemy was wiped out, and put down his sword .

(I did it . I defeated them)

「Thanks for the hard work . 」

Kazane spoke from behind .

「Ah, no . I did it . . . right?」

Sieg turned to that voice and confirmed if it was really over .

「Well . Five Civil Ants eliminated . I'd say it's quite a coup for your first battle . 」

Kazane nodded while she praised Sieg .

「Is that true?」

Siegs replied with a happy look .

「Well, what about the Magic Power expenditure?」

Immediately after that was pointed out Sieg's face turned grim .

「Well, it's quite diminished . 」

Sieg answered . He was absorbed with fighting, so allotment and the like completely flew from his head . His offensive ability was high, so his victory was natural, and Sieg realized he should have thought about that detail .

「For now, your first battle was an overwhelming victory, so being happy is fine . But starting next time watch it properly as you fight . That way you won't run into problems . 」

「Yes」

Sieg nodded while he once again looked at the Civil Ants .

(But, I can do it)

Sieg understood that he could deal with monsters with his own power . That being the case, he thought that next time he should be able to do more .

「Well then, here . 」

Kazane handed a metal bottle to Sieg with a grin .

「What is this?」

After Sieg's question Kazane pointed to the scattered Civil Ants .

「An adventurer's job is to collect material, so please do a good job . 」

The formic acid collected from Civil Ants smelled sour, Sieg learned for the first time .
