Chapter 87
TL:Yuki
Dungeon City Amone
It was like a city built inside a giant crater. The town was beautifully aligned in a hollowed out semicircle, with all of its main avenues leading to dungeon, and even from the edge of the city you could see that there are adventurers waiting at the entrance opened like a huge mouth. The houses were built along the slope, and the foundations were all made out of bricks.
Its amazing. You could see the whole city by just looking down
This is also a spectacular view. Many buildings feel a bit rough, but I could feel the atmosphere
The style of the houses looks old and dirty. The road seems to have been made by solidifying the soil, and holes could be seen everywhere. There are special parking spaces on the outside where horse-drawn carriages make their stops. Is that some kind of countermeasure?
Welcome. It will be one gold per carriage, but will you be able to pay it?
OoohIts expensive
It couldnt be helped you know. You wont have to worry about it being stolen if you leave it here, and Ill give you a number plate so that you wont lose sight of it. And also, there are no other parking places in this area. If you dont want to then go somewhere else
Hmm, well think about it for a moment.
Alright, well thats just how it works around here
Actually, theres no need for us to think about it. I only wanted to check the price. After we move to a place out of sight, I stored the carriage and the golem in my storage. Not bringing a live horse was a good decision after all.
It would have been better if the Inns are not like this
It would definitely be better for us to prepare ourselves
I was filled with enthusiasm when we entered the city, but there were no gates. Mika did mention that all the monsters around this area spawn inside the dungeon and there seems to be almost no threats from the outside. Well, theres only a wasteland out there after all.
I thought about inn prices as we move around, however it wasnt as expensive as I have expected. There is also an abnormally large number of Inn in this place. According to the people living in this place, 70% of the buildings in this town are Inns. Moreover, most of them are simple and off a rest area only. Most of the adventurers all dive in the dungeon. This city also has the highest adventurer population in the world, so such establishments couldnt be helped.
We walked downhill towards the center for around 30 minutes and then found a certain place open.
So, is that the guild? I wonder what happened to that place is why does it look like a gathering spot of bandits?
Theres something strange about strange about it. The faces of the adventurers hanging around the entrances look more like a bunch of villains. I dont want to even go near it. It felt like I would end up in a bad argument if I talk to anyone. I dont want to get involved.
Is it not possible to live in the dungeon unless you are a strong macho man? Why is that,
Lets leave them alone for now
Yep
I guess
They look scary
Lets go
It unanimously decided not to enter the place. After lowering our hoods, we quietly headed towards the dungeon. After all, it seems that place is close to the dungeon, and the entrance could immediately be seen.
That is Amones dungeon
Thats right,The Grotto of Gloria
It was already wide looking from the outskirts, but when seen closely, it was much wider than expected. The hole extends obliquely downwards. There was a barrier like a film from the center, and the adventurers entered without hesitation.
There is a fence-like wall near the entrance, and near it was something resembling a hut. It seems like we need to go to that place to get permission in order to enter. Do we need to pay? Its a hassle to queue up
Now, now, dont show that annoyed look. Arena, go
Aidlehug
Wait, sigh, it couldnt be helped, dont expect me to be persuaded that easily
And so we waited in a queue for around 30 minutes while being hugged by Arena, and finally it was out turn. We wont enter today, but we want to listen to explanations about the dungeon.
Hah? Who are you people? You dont seem like someone who are from around here, but are you adventurers?
We have just arrived today. We dont know about the dungeon, can we ask for an explanation about it for the time being?
Houhave you entered the guild?
No, we were wondering why scary looking guys are at the entrance
I dont really feel like going in that place. If I say that I didnt go there, I didnt feel like he would refuse giving us an explanation, so I was honest about it.
Ah, those idiots, seriouslyWell, never mind. Right now the dungeons are managed by the union, and if you want to enter, you will be charged with 5 silver coins per head. Those who enter the dungeon have their own special equipment, after that there is a requirement to bring along a Bagger
Bagger?
Its as the name implies. Theyre the ones who dismantle materials and carry it. They are also familiar with traps after all youre all beginners, arent you? If you go to the guild, youll also be able to hire people. I also did ask Did you go to the guild? so I could recommend that instead
Ah
It seems like he was actually a kind person. Sorry, Jii-san.
You have probably heard from someone along the way, but the city is only when seen on the surface. Its better not to go to the guildand thats why a Bagger is a must when entering the dungeon. Well, if you get lost, Baggers can also guide you around. Thats all I could recommend though
Will you only be here today?
Im always around here in the morning. If you understand that, then just go straight here
After I finished talking to the Jii-san, I shook his hand. But I thought about something for a bit,
I understand. By the way, what is Jii-sans name?
Hah?Its Jess
Jess-san is it. Thank you. Im Aidle, see you again
La Veil, see you later
Arena! Byebye!!
Ci, Cielo. See you later
UmmIm Sakurada. See you again Jii-san
OOuh
We then left the hut after telling her our names after all its important to introduce yourself to good people. Now then, Ive heard the information we needed for the time being. And then next will be to go shopping and then finding an actual good Inn.
Using fairy magic, I could easily do it on my own
Master could also use special magic after all
Will, will it really be that easy?
Dunno?
Im currently filled with energy and want to do something.
What I found out by going around the stores was that there are mostly preserved foods that are being sold. There were various kinds of dried meat, hard bread, and water bottle magic tools. It seems like water can be compressed, having a container the size of about 500 ml, can fit about 10 liters. It was 10 silver coins, but from an adventurers point of view, it wouldnt be much.
I bought water bottle and the preserved food for the same number of people for the time being, and each one of us received it. If we get separated by a trap, well be able to last for a few more days.
From now on, well only carry a minimum amount of necessary luggage along with our weapons. And then this
I handed each one of them a home-made teleportation stone.
As soon as the danger comes, just fill it with magic. Youll instantly teleport
Master, Isnt this something that you could only create with a considerable amount of magic power
It wasnt really that hard to create it La Veil
It takes about one month to create one of this. I created 1 while in Galania. I then created 6 starting from the founding of Ladaria to the time we reached Amone. In any case, this is currently the last batch.
Alright, now its time to look for an Inn. Its dangerous at night and then well have a meal on our room
After walking around for quite some time, we finally found a good Inn. With 5 people, we were split into 2 rooms. Its good because they have good beds and also have hot water offered.
Master, when are you going to separate?
Well, even if I wanted to, Arena is?
AIDLE
Uwah, it seems like Arena doesnt have any intention to leave
Arena is currently hugging my head. Mika was staring at me with a jealous and disappointed face.
Then, the remaining 1 extra will be decided by a rock-paper-scissors. It will be 3 and 2
Yoshi
I will not lose!
La Veil, why are you even competing with the other two? Were good friends, so why dont you just join us?
I will definitely have those two lovely creature for myself!!
?
Go
Funnuuuu
Sorry about that
The Rock Paper Scissor ended with Mikas victory. And so, we asked the shopkeeper who was staring at us as if looking at suspicious people for a while now.
Gorogoro
Kyawa
Mika doesnt even blink, and while sitting on her bead, she was burning in her brain the sight in front of her. By the time Aidle and Arena dove on the bed, they both returned into their fairy form.
Whywhy cant I become that small and cute too
Mika was regretting being born as a human being after living as one for a long time. For such cute creatures to exists, its hard for her to show her love with her current self.
Mika
Mika
Eh, ah. Whats wrong?
Open your hand?
When Mika opens her palms, the two sat down on each hand as if it was a chair and faced each other. The two are light as a feather however their softness was certainly being felt by her hands. She desperate pretended to be calm.
Will Mika tell us about her original world?
Wantto know
Im so glad that I came to another world
On the other hand, La Veil and Cielos group.
Cielo, is there something you want to ask? Youve been peeking at me for quite a while now
Ah, sorry about that La Veil-sanUm, where did La Veil-san come from?
Hmm?Well, you could say that Im not from any country. I was living near a hillside village. I just happen to meet master at some time which caught my interest and then decided to come along with them
Um, what about your family? That nameum it is similar to ancient dragon-sama
La Veils status was currently augmented by Aidles Fairy Magic and her strength is supposed to be hidden, however in Cielos eyes, only special races and skills would be able to disguise themselves. But since only her status column is disguised, it probably became suspicious.
On the other hand, Cielo did not intend to force her out to say something shes trying to hide, so she only wanted to hear about what she would say.
Ah!!No, thats not it. Well, you see my name was given by my grandfather, but that was not because he was because of religious matters
Though hesitant, Le Veil managed to answer Cielos questions. She was thinking that Cielo would end up worshiping her if she finds out
I wish we could get along with each other just like master
Oh, Mikas breasts are so soft
Bouncy
NnNn! Mikas worries continue to increase because of the two fairies.
