This chapter was pretty much the sole reason I had to go back and do the Miduchi reverse chapters first. Next chapter in 3-6 hours. Getting a bit distracted but won't be stopping for at least another 2-4 chapters. Fat=Lard=Tallow replace it with whatever makes the most sense there to you.

Year 7445, Month 8, Day 28
After finishing some simple cooperative training incorporating all three teams and then eating lunch, Miduchi and I were enjoying some tea together slowly.
"Come to think of it, it's almost been exactly a year today since I joined the {Slaughterers}.."
Miduchi said after taking a sip of tea and returning the cup to the table. There's nothing tasteful like saucers or other tableware.
"Ah, so it's already been a year huh..Time passes by quickly."
"I still haven't really gathered much of the ingredients as well..Hey, does it seem like you still won't be able to use the spell {Cure Disease}?"
Miduchi looks at me with an expression like she's praying. It's a pathetic story but when it comes to the spell {Cure Disease} I haven't been able to acquire it so easily like all of the spells I have up until now. Since there's countless people with illnesses in this Baldukk if I were to become able to use it then I'm already in situation where I could practice it easily though.
All of the spells I wanted to learn up until now if I just recognized "they definitely exist" and know the name of them that seems to match up to my image then continue trial and error I've been able to master them in at longest a few months.
However, when it comes to the spell {Cure Disease} just as you would expect with the source of the information being the Demi-God Lilus, even when I recognize without a doubt "it definitely exists", I can't master it. I've been challenging it with the resolve that it involves quite a bit of difficulty in acquiring and not something that can be done right away but things that aren't working just won't work. I think there's almost no chance that Lilus lied to Miduchi and there's no meaning in that after all.
In the first place, regardless of the information about a spell that can cure diseases from Miduchi I've been trying to find a way to do it since long before that. When I had already halfway given up on it, I heard that information from Miduchi and it was around this time last year that I was burning with motivation over it...Even teacher Mila said she doesn't know about it so it's not like I could have her show it to me in front of my eyes but since I can't deny the existence of the spell at all we're in this predicament.
"Sorry...I've been trying to make time to work on it but..I can't get a grasp on it at all in the current situation."
"I'm sorry. It's not like I'm blaming you.."
I can tell that much just from looking at your expression. Miduchi has been overdoing things quite a bit in gaining experience with magic think that if I can't do it she herself would. It's the same for me but whenever we have days off she's often entering the dungeon together with Zulu or Angela. Thanks to that her elemental magics hit level 6 several months ago and her void magic has even increased to level 7. It's the result of dealing damage to monsters with magic in the most efficient method for gaining experience points.
"No, it's fine. In any case I'll continue to try testing things out."
"Yeah..when it comes to the location of the ingredients we have some decent prospects, but several of them are difficult after all..right."
"Yeah..It's not like I have any proof of it but for the time being I don't intend on leaving the dungeon, so in that regards..there's also things like timing so I can't say anything.."
"Nn, after all the most severe is the {Wyvern} and {Vampire Lord}.."
"Also, the {Dragon}..huh.."
When it comes to the things like black newts they're wandering all around the place near wells. When it comes to the Shurika there were a few if you wander around a bit of distance away from Bakuddo as well. Rather~ Myun should know of their living environment. When it comes to the {Scavenger Crawler} if you just wander around on the 1st floor unless you have some seriously bad luck you can encounter one within two days. I've heard that the Kuntokigaeru aren't all that uncommon in the wetland areas in the South and it seems the {Rock Vipers} live in the mountain areas around Miduchi's home town. Things like hairs and nails we can get our hands on at any time and even when it comes to the raw liver if it's just a small piece then it's fine to take it from me.
The difficult ones are the three types listed above but since it seems that {Wyverns} are known to live and occasionally~ seen in the mountain ranges to the Northeast, if we just spend some time searching our chances of finding one are high. I had never heard about {Wyverns} until Miduchi mentioned them but it seems they're something like inferior dragons. However, since their strength is no comparison for the real thing with how much it's dropped it's not as if I don't feel like we could win if we fight as well. Though I can't be sure.
In regards to the {Vampire Lord} I told Miduchi how we previously killed a {Vampire} on the 4th floor but she said something like "If it's a dungeon where {Vampires} appear then it wouldn't be strange for a {Vampire Lord} to appear even further inside." It seems like it's something like the boss of {Vampires}. Both Miduchi and I can use {Anti-Magic Field} and if it's us who were able to finish off that {Rotten.Eye.Ball} from head on then I'm sure we'll be able to manage somehow.
However, the problem is the dragon. As far as I know there's no definite proof that they exist. I've heard legends that in the past there was one in the Dirt Plains but..regardless since it was something from over 100 years ago I don't know if it really existed. However, a result of discussing it with Miduchi and we came to the conclusion that it be unnatural for there not to be dragons in this sort of world.
For now our only clue is just that there was one in the Dirt Plains. According to Miduchi it seems they live for 100 or 1000 years so they're like a reptile that has a tremendous longevity. I haven't said it to her but if that's true then I don't think it would be strange for a mate or child still to be remaining alive somewhere in the Dirt Plains.
Just, it seems that they're no joke in how strong they boast. Their bodies are huge, they spit out breathe of ice, acid, poison, electricity, or fire over wide areas, and can even flying through the sky. It seems it's not unusual for them to be highly intelligent and use magic as well. It's not even strange for them to have enough power to wipe out an entire country alone and for some reason she declared that proudly to me. What is that sort of perfect living creature.
In any case, in regards to the ingredients for the medicine we're in a stalemate for now. The highest possibility is that somewhere even further in the depths of the dungeon we might be able to encounter that {Vampire Lord} or whatever, is what it means. Of course, while they can supposedly fly through the air, since dragons are reptiles it seems there are also ones that would prefer being in a dungeon as well so we can't deny the possibility that we'll encounter one in the depths of Baldukk dungeon either. Though it might just be my own personal opinion I think we probably won't run into one. I mean, they're huge right? Even in the higher parts of the dungeon the ceiling is at most 100 meters, even if there's supposedly some individual types that prefer dungeons...They should at least do some exercise. Before they end up getting bed sores.
"Right now all we can do is aim even further into the dungeon."
"Nn, that's right. Also, starting tomorrow the {Slaughterers} are on holiday for a week. In three days~ or so I'm going to teacher Mila's place again after all..I'll tell everyone this evening."
"I guess so."
Zenom, Bel, and Angela are looking after the {Butchers}, Toris, Ralpha, and Zulu in {Sooner}, Basutoral is getting help from Giberuti and Catherine to make sausages and it was a good chance so Gwine decided to join a barbecue party she was invited to being held by {Gehenna.Flare} on September 1st. So it should be okay if Miduchi and I show our faces at my company in the capital and then go to the Fairy Village.
It's possible we might run into the {Butchers} and {Sooner} on the 1st floor but if I let Miduchi who's skilled at hiding herself go ahead there's almost no worries on that end.
